Yawn

In a game that set Big East basketball back about 15-years, Rutgers held on to win its second league game of the season…breaking an eight-game conference losing streak in the regular season finale, 45-42 at home over USF.  Although it was nice to see seniors JR Inman, Anthony Farmer and Jaron Griffin go out on a winning note, this was one ugly basketball game featuring the 14th and 15th place teams in the 16-team Big East.  Not much to write home about when a combined 87 points are scored by two teams that are a combined 20-41 on the season.  What was more interesting was that freshman guard Mike Rosario, evidently bothered by a tweaked knee, was held scoreless for the first time in his young career…shooting oh-for-five in only eleven minutes.  AND that sophomore guard Corey Chandler, playing for the first time since his transfer rumors, only got eleven minutes of playing time and was held scoreless on oh-for-three shooting.  It certainly gives more ammunition to those in Rutgers nation who are betting that Chandler is out of here at the end of the season, which could be Tuesday night when the 15th-seeded Scarlet Knights take on ten-seed Notre Dame in the opening round of the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden.  Rutgers will be a solid underdog against a Fighting Irish team that it lost to in South Bend, Indiana in a tight game last week.
