Rutgers Men's Basketball Enters Offseason With Recruiting Momentum As Program Build Enters Critical Stage

It’s been just over a week since the season ended for the Rutgers men’s basketball team, but the positive vibes generated from their run through the Big Ten Tournament remains. After a regular season record of 13-18 and a fourth consecutive last place finish in the Big Ten that left most fans disappointed, perception changed after wins over Minnesota and Indiana sent Rutgers into day three at Madison Square Garden. As well as they played in coming back after trailing by 16 points to knock off the Hoosiers, their most impressive performance at the Garden last week was in defeat, as the Scarlet Knights battled a top ten Purdue team into the final minute of the game before succumbing in the Quarterfinals.
