Know Your Foe: Rutgers

Big East Coast Bias: While the quality of wins may not be eye-popping, you are what your record says you are. Rutgers is 11-1. How did this happen?

Aaron Breitman: While you are correct their strength of schedule is really weak (350th), the fact that Rutgers took care of business and beat everyone they were supposed to beat is major progress for the program. Under previous coach Eddie Jordan, they lost to St. Peters, St. Francis (PA), Drexel, William & Mary, and Fairleigh Dickinson. Coming into the season, I thought games against Stony Brook, Fordham, and DePaul could have gone either way, but they beat all three teams.
