Rutgers Seniors Set To Start On Emotional Senior Day

PISCATAWAY — Sunday serves as the final time four members of the Rutgers men’s basketball team laces up their sneakers and head out to the hardwood of the Rutgers Athletic Center in front of the fans they’ve loved and been loved by.

In fitting fashion, Mike Williams, Jake Dadika, Deshawn Freeman and Candido Sa will do it together.

Head coach Steve Pikiell announced the four seniors will start in the Scarlet Knights’ Senior Day season-finale against Illinois, a reward for the work he saw them put in during his two years on the Banks.

“These kids have done a lot for us and it’s a reward that they’ve earned,” Pikiell said.
