PISCATAWAY — For the second time in a week, the Rutgers men’s basketball team suffered an upset at home to a team from the conference head coach Steve Pikiell arrived from.
After falling to Pikiell’s former program Stony Brook last Friday, fellow America East program Hartford stunned the Scarlet Knights with a 60-58 win at the Rutgers Athletic Center Thursday night.
If the loss to the Seawolves sucked out the energy from a monumental win over No. 15 Seton Hall from the program, a defeat to the Hawks pegged Rutgers a step behind square one.
