While there have been plenty of ups and downs in Steve Pikiell’s second season as head coach of Rutgers, tonight’s performance was the low point of this current campaign. Sure, losses to Stony Brook and Hartford were ugly and disappointing, but they were somewhat explainable during the holiday break and for a team learning to handle success for the first time after the Seton Hall win, which seems like a decade ago at this point. However, there is little explanation for Rutgers to lay such an egg in what was a true opportunity to break through on the road in Big Ten play.
