Rutgers comes in at 86 in the NET Rankings. That loss to Kennesaw State (Q3, 143) really dragged them down. Big stain on the tournament resume. A win against Texas A&M (Q1, 43) on Saturday would've probably brought Rutgers up in the NET.
Remaining landmines:
12/14, Seton Hall (Q4, 200)
12/21, vs Princeton (Q3, 137)
12/30, Columbia (Q3, 76)
2/23, USC (Q4, 169)
3/9, Minnesota (Q3, 155)
Rutgers has 18 combined Q1 & Q2 games remaining on their schedule so plenty of opportunities but Rutgers has A LOT of work to do with a gauntlet of a schedule come January.
CANNOT, and I repeat, CANNOT lose to any of the teams listed as a landmine. Seton Hall is TERRIBLE this year and if they were to lose to the Pirates, Rutgers season would certainly be hanging by a thread. The ground Rutgers would have to make up to overcome losses to Seton Hall and Kennesaw State would be near insurmountable. They would have to put together a huge string of wins against high Q1 opponents.
