In the words of Don McLean in American Pie the answer is “ A long long time ago”!

For #1 I think we got one vote in Pike's second year. Could be wrong but I think we started 9-0 or 10-0 and it was right before conference play? Before that (if I'm remembering right), a long time ago. (EDIT: I think it was his first year, we started 11-1)

For #2, looks like it was in the '70s: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/schools/rutgers/

Week 4 when we were 6-0 we got a 25th place vote: https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/rankings/_/week/4/year/2017/seasontype/2

Trivial fact: Don McLean actually used to put bad news on the doorstep as a newspaper delivery boy in New Rochelle, NY.

was thinking the 1990-91 season but we had some early losses. Ended up 19-10 with a loss in the NCAA 1st round.

6. Is Peter Kiss an asset of Minnesota planted on our roster by Richard Pitino?

 

[ScarletDave]

1979 we ended the season ranked #18 after bowing out of the NCAA Sweet 16. After that final week of the 79 season, we would not see the top 25 polls again for the next 41 years (and counting)

Didn’t they just play a concert in NJ

If I close one eye and look through my glasses, I can see this website better. Especially when drinking.

 

[Scarlet Blind]

If PSU can be in the top 25 for the first time in 24 years, why not us? They say it's 1978 at #15 was the last time but the poll was top 20 then, top 25 started 1989-90 season.

I definitely remember us being briefly in the top 25 during the Douby years.

Maybe it was the coaches poll? I could've sworn I remember seeing a 25 next to Rutgers in 2006 or 2005.
