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 in play big-time now as the Knights step back into play in arguably the nation’s number-one conference. Yes, Rutgers had a 37-33 half-time lead today at number-eight Villanova in the Big East opener but the Wildcats put together an 11-0 run early in the second half and never looked back. So, today is the same old story for the Scarlet Knights—not enough firepower in a ultra-talented league. And, until Rice can get his vaunted recruiting class in here for next season, THIS season will be another long struggle.
