Third-year head coach Eddie Jordan was one of the greatest players in program history, helping Rutgers to a Final Four in 1976. He finished his career as the school’s all-time leader in both assists (585) and steals (220) and was an honorable-mention All-American in 1977. Jordan, who was a former assistant at Rutgers and Boston College, did most of his coaching in the NBA, and coached nine years in the league with stints in Sacramento (1996-98), Washington (2003-09) and Philadelphia (2009-10). The Scarlet Knights have shown the ability to be competitive, including a one-point loss to Wake Forest, a six-point loss to Monmouth and a seven-point loss to Indiana. Injuries have hampered the Scarlet Knights, as Deshawn Freeman (13.1 ppg) has been out since mid-December with a knee injury while Jonathan Laurent (6.1 ppg, 4.6 rpg) didn’t play in Wednesday’s loss at Maryland. Freshman guard Corey Sanders leads RU in both scoring (13.5 ppg) and assists (3.5 apg) and has started 12 games although he came off the bench on Wednesday. Sophomore guard Mike Williams also averages double figures with 11.6 ppg while hitting 22 3-pointers. 1 Quote Link to comment

Comish Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Best scenario for this season........ Win today at Rutgers; win at home Tuesday vs struggling MInny; win next Saturday at struggling and injury-plagued Illinois.............to even conference at 3-3. Then (possibly swap loss at Sparty with a winnable game at the Vault vs Michingan the following week and we are even at 4-4. After this horrendous start, that would be an extremely successful surge.

huskerfan13 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I'll take this start though. Quote Link to comment
huskerfan2000 Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 Rutgers is just not good after all those players being hurt. NU is doing a good job so far, though. Quote Link to comment
