It was not an easy road for Rutgers but what a satisfying one it was when its name was announced on Sunday night.
The Scarlet Knights have been selected as an 11 seed and will take on Notre Dame in the First Four on Wednesday in Dayton. This comes after Rutgers earned the 4th spot in the Big Ten Tournament with a 12-8 conference record. Over the course of the season, Rutgers became the first unranked team to defeat ranked opponents in four consecutive games. Also, this marks the second time in program history that the team will compete in the tournament in back-to-back seasons and first time in 46 years.
