PISCATAWAY — So many things were going against Rutgers over the past week.
The Scarlet Knights lost Eugene Omoruyi for the foreseeable future thanks to a knee injury sustained against Illinois, less than a month after an ankle injury kept captain and fellow glue guy Mike Williams off the court for a similar stretch. That same night, the Scarlet Knights ended up on the wrong side of a 31-point loss to the Illini, their fourth straight loss.
Despite everything going the wrong way, head coach Steve Pikiell remained as positive as ever.
