Rutgers Men's Basketball Season Preview

After a long eight months of waiting, the start of the new basketball season is here. Rutgers has a busy first week, hosting Rutgers-Newark and Howard before taking on St. John's in a key early season game. Eddie Jordan and his program have already faced adversity before the season has begun. Yesterday, it was announced that Corey Sanders was suspended by Rutgers for Friday's opener after self-reporting his participation in an unsanctioned summer league game. It's a technicality that the NCAA should re-examine long term, but ultimately it just means Sanders will have to wait until Sunday to make his collegiate debut.
