The Rutgers Rant is back to preview Saturday's Senior Day matchup with Illinois.
The Scarlet Knights host No. 24 Illinois on Senior Day, a contest that marks the final home game for the first recruiting class of Greg Schiano’s second stint in Piscataway. Beyond the sentimental aspect, the victory would be significant for Rutgers in multiple ways:
— It would snap a 15-year, 40-game losing streak against ranked opponents, the longest among Power Four programs. — It would set a program record for Big Ten wins in a season and keep Rutgers on track for its first winning record in conference play since joining the league.Would it officially mark a successful season for the Scarlet Knights?
The Rutgers Rant is back to discuss that question, preview the contest and break down what the Illini bring. We also review the men’s basketball team’s win over Merrimack on Wednesday in which five-star freshman Ace Bailey carried the load offensively.
