It’s Groundhog Day again for the Rutgers basketball team

2/27/2011 2:18:58 PM

Stop me if you’ve heard this story before—the Rutgers basketball team plays tough against a better Big East opponent but falls short at the end. Groundhog Day, if you will. It happened again Sunday afternoon at the RAC when the Scarlet Knights lost to West Virginia 65-54 in a game heard on Good Time Oldies, [...]

Another case of “just not enough”

2/19/2011 8:51:49 PM

Another tough, gutsy effort by the Rutgers basketball team but another example of ”not enough talent” in the rugged Big East. Once again, Mike Rice showed how far the program has come in his first season with the Scarlet Knights in a valiant effort at number-17 Syracuse in an 84-80 loss at the Carrier Dome [...]

Too many turnovers

2/12/2011 9:23:05 PM

The Rutgers men’s basketball team isn’t nearly good enough offensively to commit 18 turnovers and win a Big East game. And so it went Saturday night as the Scarlet Knights did just that and lost at home to arch-rival Seton Hall 69-64 in a game heard on Good Time Oldies, 1450 WCTC and WCTCAM.com, failing [...]

A signature win for Mike Rice

2/9/2011 10:33:06 PM

First-year Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice now has what every fledgling program needs—a signature win. He got it Wednesday night at the RAC when the Scarlet Knights came from ten points down in the final three minutes to upset number-nine Villanova 77-76 in a Big East game heard on Good Time Oldies, 1450 WCTC and [...]

Impressive effort by the Rutgers basketball team in defeat

1/29/2011 10:56:07 PM

I firmly believe there is no such thing as a moral victory. Athletes and teams compete to win, not come in second. But there are certainly losing efforts that can be applauded and I think Saturday night’s 65-62 hard-fought home defeat to number-two Pittsburgh is one of those instances for the Rutgers basketball team. First-year [...]

Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice wins his first encounter with arch-rival Seton Hall

1/22/2011 2:45:10 PM

New Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice has drawn first blood in the arch-rivalry with Seton Hall and the Pirates’ first-year head coach Kevin Willard. Rice and the Scarlet Knights came up with a solid 66-60 win at the Rock Saturday afternoon in a game heard on Good Time Oldies, 1450 WCTC and WCTCAM.com, despite shooting [...]

Same old same old for the R-U men while the Scarlet women remain unbeaten in the Big East

1/15/2011 4:10:32 PM

“Groundhog Day” continues for the veteran nucleus of the Rutgers men’s basketball team. Another loss to a ranked Big East team. This time this afternoon at the RAC…a 74-65 home defeat to number-22 Georgetown. Yes, the Scarlet Knights upset the Hoyas at home last season but even a blind squirrel finds an acorn every once [...]

Rutgers sophomore quarterback Tom Savage is transferring

1/8/2011 11:27:05 PM

In the end, it’s not unexpected…although the hiring of pro-style offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti Jr. was thought by many to be a reason to stay. But disgruntled Rutgers sophomore quarterback Tom Savage is transferring. R-U head coach Greg Schiano made the announcement this afternoon, ending Savage’s up-and-down two seasons on the Banks of the Old [...]

Congratulations to new Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice on his first Big East win

1/8/2011 11:11:17 PM

New Rutgers men’s basketball coach Mike Rice has notched his first Big East victory on the Banks of the Old Raritan. Rice and Company now 1-2 in league and 10-5 overall after breaking a three-game losing streak with an 85-72 home win over Providence heard on Good Time Oldies, 1450 WCTC and WCTCAM.com. Congratulations [...]

Back to the future for the Rutgers basketball team

1/2/2011 3:57:35 PM

Same old, same old. Yes, give credit to new Rutgers basketball coach Mike Rice for resurrecting organization and defense to the Scarlet Knight program. But the Fairleigh Dickinsons, the Monmouths, the St. Peter’s, the NJIT’s are in the past and the Big East is here…meaning that the talent level…or lack thereof for R-U is back [...]
