Why it’s not time to hit the panic button on Rutgers basketball

2021 has already been a long year for Rutgers basketball fans, as the team is mired in a four game losing streak and winless since New Year’s Day. During a season when expectations were higher than they’ve been in decades, the engine light is already blinking a red warning sign at the halfway point of the schedule. After a 6-0 start and no. 11 national ranking, the Scarlet Knights have now lost five of its last six games after falling to no. 9 Wisconsin 60-54 on Friday night.

“Wisconsin’s good, we didn’t make shots,” said head coach Steve Pikiell.
