By now, you’ve heard the news. The Rutgers men’s basketball team has started the 6-0 for the first time since the 1975-1976 squad produced a perfect mark during the regular season. As Dave White smartly points out, patience and measured expectations for this team is a must. The reality is Rutgers has faced the easiest portion of their schedule and stiffer competition is ahead. It starts this Wednesday on the road against former Big East foe Miami (FL) in the Big Ten-ACC Challenge.
Now that roughly half of the non-conference schedule is complete, there is enough of a base to determine some current strengths and weaknesses with this team.
