Without Eugene Omoruyi, Rutgers Reaches To End Of Bench In Final Stretch

PISCATAWAY — The Rutgers men’s basketball team is no stranger to bouncing back from a bad loss, but this week is uncharted territory.

Along with suffering an embarrassing 91-60 loss to Illinois in Champaign on Tuesday, the Scarlet Knights also lost forward Eugune Omoruyi to a knee injury midway through the first half.
