Rutgers basketball's season ends in appropriately brutal fashion in double OT loss to USC Mar 13, 2025

Show notes

The most disappointing season in program history ends with Rutgers coming back from a 13 point deficit before failing to close out a 4 point lead with 36 seconds left in regulation. Poor decisions, a lack of execution and little resistance defensively plagued this team all season and tonight was no exception. The end is here.#rutgersbasketball

Reaction to Rutgers' 75-67 OT win against Minnesota Mar 09, 2025

Show notes

The Scarlet Knights overcame a terrible second half to finish the regular season with a victory and earn the No. 11 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. Whether they can actually make a run is another story.

Same old Rutgers but its only getting worse Mar 05, 2025

Show notes

In the 100-71 loss to No. 18 Purdue that was the second worst defensive performance of the 25+ year history of KenPom, Rutgers basketball has done the impossible and made fans wish the season was over. In the background, Rutgers is without a President and AD while hoops has no GM. Leadership at the top is needed if positive change will happen for the basketball program and more.#rutgersbasketball

Why I think Rutgers will beat Michigan on Thursday night Feb 27, 2025

Show notes

The Scarlet Knights have an opportunity to produce a signature win at Michigan and bring some joy in what has been a disappointing season so far. After a one possession loss to the Wolverines at home with an extremely shorthanded roster, RU is playing well and Dylan Harper is one of several keys to winning in Ann Arbor.#rutgersbasketball

Rapid reaction to Rutgers' 95-85 win over USC Feb 24, 2025

Show notes

The Scarlet Knights delivered its most efficient offensive performance of the season and have won two straight after two disheartening defeats. Dylan Harper was Superman but it was a balanced effort all around for RU. This team is on the cusp of building real momentum ahead of the Big Ten Tournament.#rutgersbasketball

Show notes

The Scarlet Knights ended a three game losing streak with a much needed victory to remain in good shape to make the Big Ten Tournament. Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey and Jeremiah Williams led the way. #rutgersbasketball
