In a season that is all about progress and the beginning of rebuilding the Rutgers men’s basketball program under first year head coach Steve Pikiell, I wanted to have some fun with a Throwback Thursday post on this holiday week. Rutgers made their 21st appearance in the Holiday Festival earlier this month in a win over Fordham at Madison Square Garden. It used to be called the ECAC Holiday Festival and was once considered one of the premier in-season tournaments in the country, back when four teams played for a championship. Nowadays, it’s just one day with two games and no meeting of the winners.
