Rutgers basketball: A sleeping giant awakens
Rutgers basketball has a rich history, dating back to the early 1900s.
The Scarlet Knights have won 23 conference championships and have made 17 NCAA Tournament appearances.
However, the program has fallen on hard times in recent years.
Rutgers has not won an NCAA Tournament game since 1991 and has not finished above .500 in the Big Ten since 2006.
But there is reason to believe that the Scarlet Knights are on the verge of a resurgence.
In 2022, Rutgers hired Steve Pikiell as its new head coach.
Pikiell is a proven winner. He led Stony Brook to four NCAA Tournament appearances in six seasons.
He has also recruited a talented group of players to Rutgers, including Geo Baker, Caleb McConnell, and Paul Mulcahy.
The Scarlet Knights are still a young team, but they have shown flashes of brilliance this season.
They have wins over Big Ten foes Michigan and Purdue.
Rutgers is a long shot to win the national championship, but they have the potential to be a spoiler.
They have a talented roster, a proven coach, and a lot of momentum.
The Scarlet Knights are back.
