The 4-seed Rutgers Scarlet Knights lost to the red hot 5-seed Iowa Hawkeyes in the Big Ten Quarterfinals on Friday afternoon 84-74. Rutgers Nation eagerly awaits for their name to be called on Selection Sunday for the NCAA Tournament. If Rutgers hears their name called on Sunday, it is likely they will be playing as one of the last four teams in, which means they will earn a 12-seed playing in Dayton.
Aaron Breitman [managing editor of OnTheBanks.com] has done an extraordinary job keeping Rutgers fans updated throughout the week on their status for the NCAA Tournament, including bracket updates, possible scenarios, the case for Rutgers to make the tournament, and who to root for and who not to root for.
