Rutgers MBB might pull off another upset

Submitted by NJblue2 on

Right now Rutgers leads Maryland 49-46 in the second half. They've played pretty well too. The Rutgers game might be way harder than everyone originally thought.

Heads up people: Rutgers isn't that bad at basketball. Should have been fairly obvious when they beat Vandy and @Clemson, and even more so when they beat Wisconsin. There's a good program building in Piscataway.

Rutgers is a great Basketball team. Their Basketball team will probably end up being a bigger addition then the Football team.

For those too young to remember, there was that one year (1976) when, in a 32-team field, both Michigan AND Rutgers made it to the NCAA Basketball Tournament Final Four. Rutgers, led by Consensus Second Team All-American Phil Sellers, Mike Dabney and their current coach, "Fast Eddie" Jordan, entered the Final Four as one of only two unbeaten teams in the country.

Michigan beat Rutgers in the semifinal game, 86-70, but lost in the finals to Bob Knight’s unbeaten Indiana Hoosiers, 86-68. It was the first time when two teams from the same conference met in the championship game. Rutgers lost to UCLA in the third place game, 102-92. (Yes, they used to play a "consolation game" to decide third place in the tournament.)

That Michigan team finished 25-7, was second to Indiana in the Big Ten and included Rickey Green, Phil Hubbard, John Robinson, Wayman Steve Grote, each of whom averaged over 10 points a game!

he doesn't have any Rutgers blogs listed along the left margin (his list of linked Big Ten Blogs).  

In the meantime, maybe try googling "Rutgers Sports Blogs".

Maryland won this game despite being roundly outshot at a lot of junctures really, but Layman and Wells came up big for Maryland getting rebounds and really, the whole prospect of playing the Terps scares me a bit more than playing the Scarlet Knights right now, at least based on present performance.
