It seems totally appropriate that Rutgers new men's basketball season begins on Friday the 13th. Last season, really the past decade, has been a house of horrors for the program. However, I present you with hope for a better day, beginning tonight. The powers that be with the NCAA have taken some joy out of the opener, with Rutgers self-imposing a one game suspension of Corey Sanders after he played in an unsanctioned summer league game. Let the kids play, I say!!
Anyway, a long season is ahead and progress is the major goal. I am optimistic that this team will exceed expectations, partly because expectations could not be lower.
