What Rutgers must do to win today's game against Syracuse

Rutgers and Syracuse will be playing for more than just a win.

The Great Debate: Does Rutgers deserve to be a Top 25 team?

Rutgers and West Virginia will kickoff at 12 noon on Saturday, December 5th

New Jersey State of Mind

Rutgers is bowl eligible, and back in a major Top 25 poll for the 1st time since 2007.

7 to 6. Savage to Sanu. A lethal Big East combo for years to come? Sure looks like it for Rutgers after last night!

The Rutgers-Louisville Black Friday game has been scheduled for kick-off....and it's EARLY!

SN's All-Big East team: POY Luke Harangody, Da'Sean Butler, Devin Ebanks, Scottie Reynolds and Greg Monroe. Sporting News college basketball expert Mike DeCourcy makes his predictions on how everything will unfold in the six major conferences. Today we preview the Big East and Pac-10. On Friday, we'll look at the SEC and Big 12. Bold predictions 1. Villanova will miss Dante Cunningham's strength and experience inside, but the Wildcats' excellent perimeter game will keep them in the title... chase. 2. Pitt will figure out a way to remain relevant despite a roster full of role players, redshirts and freshmen. 3. West Virginia will win the Big East. The Mountaineers have backcourt depth, fantastic forwards and an overwhelming homecourt advantage. They'll have to score more frequently than last season—but that shouldn't be hard.

Don't expect three No. 1 seeds from the Big East again. The league lost a lot of quality players, but with 16 teams and a few bright stars remaining, it will still be fun, Gary Parrish says.

Up or Down? How good is Rutgers?
