UNCASVILLE, Conn. — Rutgers has been known to have one of the best home-court advantages in the nation.
Outside of Jersey Mike’s Arena, the Scarlet Knights have struggled and the theme continued on Friday.
Rutgers could not overcome a sloppy first half during a 72-66 loss to Temple at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT.
Paul Mulcahy (shoulder) and Caleb McConnell (knee) remained on the sideline with injuries and the Rutgers looked like a team missing both backcourt members. It has now lost its first game away from home after going 4-9 in such games last season.
