The Rutgers women’s basketball team hasn’t even played a tournament game yet but the Scarlet Knights have caught their first break of the post-season. It turns out that R-U, the number-seven seed in the Big East Tournament in Hartford, gets number-15 seed Seton Hall in Saturday evening’s second-round game at the X-L Center instead of ten-seed Georgetown. That’s because the Pirates upset the Hoyas 70-45 in Friday evening’s opening round while the Scarlet Knights were resting with a bye. That means Rutgers plays a team that it beat handily on the road in South Orange instead of a team that it had to go into double overtime to beat at the RAC last month. Sometimes you need small breaks like that to go on a run in the post-season.
