Rutgers suffers eighth straight loss despite strong start

(01/27/16 10:01pm)

Six days removed from its latest game, the Rutgers men’s basketball team traveled to Ann Arbor to face Michigan as fresh as a team in the thick of a gruesome conference schedule could hope to be.The Scarlet Knights hoped to snap a 22-game losing streak in Big Ten play against the Wolverines and for the first 15 minutes, it appeared they were close to pulling it off.But once the horn blew to signal the end of the third media timeout of the first half, things returned to the status quo and it was curtains for the Knights.Despite a combined 30 points from guards Corey Sanders and Mike Williams in its first consistent effort in Big Ten play since a seven-point loss to No. 19 Indiana in the conference opener, Rutgers remains winless in Big Ten play following a 68-57 loss to Michigan Wednesday night.The Knights (6-15, 0-8) looked well-rested and prepared once the game tipped in Ann Arbor.

Rutgers suffers third straight blowout despite strong first half in 94-68 shellacking against Ohio State

(01/13/16 9:31pm)

Sitting in his seat on the podium in the interview room of the Rutgers Athletic Center, head coach Eddie Jordan pointed out the lack of effort that led to the Rutgers men’s basketball team's worst home loss since 1961.Jordan had planned a day off for his team following its matchup with Nebraska, but after the 90-56 drubbing, the third-year head coach made his players report to practice to “reiterate to them what effort and harmony is.”The message appeared to be heard loud and clear in the early going of the Scarlet Knights’ meeting with Ohio State on Wednesday evening.

Rutgers looks to turn season into learning experience after 90-56 loss to Nebraska

(01/09/16 8:23pm)

After losing by 25 points to No. 3 Maryland on Wednesday, the Rutgers men’s basketball team’s Saturday evening meeting with Nebraska was a chance to recover from the blowout by earning its first Big Ten conference win of the season.Things didn’t exactly go according to plan.On an otherwise positive day for the Scarlet Knights — the 1976 team that reached the Final Four with head coach Eddie Jordan as its start was honored and, according to Rivals.com’s Stacey Davis, the Knights reportedly secured their first commit from the class of 2016, which Jordan confirmed in his post-game press conference — a 90-56 loss to a Nebraska team that shared an 0-3 start to conference play with its hosts put a dark cloud over the team.A 25-point loss to a Final Four candidate after being down by as much as 42 isn’t exactly a positive, but it was understandable given the talent at the disposal of Mark Turgeon and the Terrapins.There’s not as much room for explanation for a 34-point loss at home to a .500 team with a winless conference record.The conference contest against the Cornhuskers (9-8, 1-3) was the most-winnable game in the foreseeable future for Rutgers (6-11, 0-4).The Knights’ next four games include a trip to Columbus to face Ohio State, a pair of home contests with No. 19 Iowa and No. 20 Purdue and finally, a meeting with Michigan in Ann Arbor.The daunting schedule ahead does not instill fear in Jordan.

Rutgers looks to build on strong second half against Maryland with first Big Ten conference win against Nebraska

(01/08/16 4:32pm)

The scoreboard at XFinity Center read, “Maryland 46 — 18 Rutgers” when the first 20-minute period between the home Terrapins and the visiting Rutgers men’s basketball team came to a close. But in the 15 minutes he had with his team in the locker room before it returned to finish its meeting with the No. 3 team in the country, head coach Eddie Jordan made sure the score was the last thing on his players’ minds.“At halftime, I mentioned to our team, ‘We’re not concerned about the score, we’re not concerned about individual stats.

(12/29/15 2:53pm)

When the Rutgers men’s basketball team gathered with local reporters at Media Day on Oct. 27, optimism was high and goals were ambitious. While head coach Eddie Jordan refused to make any specific predictions beyond what his team would work on at practice that day, some of his players — namely sophomore forward D.J.

Lights-out shooting propels Rutgers to 89-66 win over UMass-Lowell

(12/28/15 10:11pm)

PISCATAWAY — Music blared from the speakers at the Rutgers Athletic Center as tip-off between the Rutgers men’s basketball team and UMass-Lowell quickly approached. Trading in the hair tie he’s rocked a few times this season for a white headband, freshman point guard Corey Sanders was upbeat and loose, smiling and dancing in between his shots as he and his team warmed up for its last non-conference game.Sanders had reason to be in a good mood.

Solid performances from players in unfamiliar positions propel Rutgers to 72-64 win over Fairleigh-Dickinson

(12/23/15 11:06pm)

When redshirt freshman forward Ibrahima Diallo injured his foot in practice Dec. 17, the Rutgers men’s basketball team’s already thin front court became even thinner. Diallo joined sophomore center Shaquille Doorson (foot) and junior forward Deshawn Freeman (knee) in the list of players head coach Eddie Jordan wouldn’t have at his disposal as the Scarlet Knights approach the end of their out-of-conference schedule.Facing a stretch of games with a depleted bench and limited options, Jordan immediately put freshman forward Jonathan Laurent to work on learning the power forward position and adapting to the college game at his normal position at small forward.“When Deshawn (Freeman) went down and when Ibrahima (Diallo) went down and when Shaq (Doorson) was already down, we put Jonathan (Laurent) at four immediately and maybe that’s why he’s a little bit going around in circles out there — not knowing where to go, how to respond, how to react to certain passes, certain play calls,” Jordan said.

Depleted bench plays big role in Rutgers' 73-67 loss to Monmouth

(12/20/15 4:58pm)

The Rutgers men’s basketball team entered its matchup with in-state foe Monmouth Saturday with just eight scholarship players available. The Scarlet Knights were especially depleted down low, where they were without sophomore center Shaquille Doorson (foot), junior forward Deshawn Freeman (knee) and redshirt freshman forward Ibrahima Diallo, who suffered a fractured foot in practice Thursday.With a depleted bench and a lack of size, it was crucial for the Knights (4-7) to stay out of foul trouble.

George Washington overmatches Rutgers in 83-49 shellacking

(12/12/15 7:21pm)

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Entering Saturday’s matchup with George Washington, the Rutgers men’s basketball team knew it needed its best performance of the season to upset a team receiving votes in the latest AP poll.Head coach Eddie Jordan hoped the third time he faced the Colonials would be the charm after losing to them in his first two seasons at the helm of his alma mater.But a slow start combined with a dominant performance from the home side spoiled Jordan’s return to the city he grew up in as George Washington (9-1) smothered the Scarlet Knights (4-6) in a brutal 83-49 beating.“(George Washington) is a good team,” Jordan said.
