It has been a phenomenal 3 year run, really starting with the big ten tournament in 2018, reaching its apex against Purdue in west Lafayette in 2020, validated in 2021 with our first ncaa tournament in 30 years and first win in 40. This team was appointment TV the last 2 years, and given our recent history it’s amazing to reflect on the fact that men’s hoops has taken the primary stage in Rutgers fandom (at least in my heart and mind) the last 2 years.
In addition, I have accumulated so many artifacts (see below) from this great run my basement will ensure I’m never gonna forget it.
Regardless of what happens with pike, Ron, geo, Paul and Caleb I will always appreciate what they did for this program. And the same goes for JY and Myles and Kwasi. Those guys lifted us to new heights.
I’m saddened this era is over, and I thought we had at least one more year to go. But it’s apparent we are officially in transition now with some substantial uncertainties to face. I’m equally nostalgic and thankful for this last 2 years when hoops filled the sports void at Rutgers and really made the fans cheer. There were so many good times. So many. Let’s see where we go next.
The 2019-2020 team, the best of the era in my view
JY the missing piece this year
