Rutgers Men’s Basketball: A Long Term Path To The Dance

But over the course of the last ten years or so, the basketball program has slowly but surely found a soft spot in my heart. Curiously, it’s not because the program has been successful. If anything it’s been anything but successful. The Eddie Jordan era pulled on the strings of my heart and played with my emotions. There were so many reasons to be optimistic except if you actually watched the games.
