Rutgers Basketball Shooting For First Winning Season In 13 Years

It’s has begun. The transformation of the Rutgers men’s basketball program has progressed past the development stage and is now in full bloom. In what was one of the most complete performances for this program in the last decade plus, the Scarlet Knights delivered a statement victory at no. 22/21 Iowa on Saturday night. It was how they won that made it even more impressive. A key sign of this team taking a significant step forward is how they are imposing its will and taking away strengths of Big Ten opponents. They held the Hawkeyes to 36% shooting, 10% worse than its season average, and outshot them from three-point range to boot.
