With last night’s win over Morgan State, Rutgers stands with a 7-1 record, equaling their win total from all of last season with a full three weeks before Christmas. That’s quite a turnaround, as Rutgers finished non-conference play last year with a record of 6-7. Granted, there were more challenging opponents on the slate a year ago, but it’s also clear last season’s team would have had more trouble against the weaker opponents this current team has dispatched so far. However, it still hasn’t been easy, as Rutgers has trailed at the half against North Texas (4-4), escaped from a 13 point deficit with 5 minutes left in the game against Hartford (2-7), and were losing 19-12 last night midway through the first half to Morgan State (2-6).
