NET Rankings of Rutgers' Opponents (thru games played Dec 8th)

Here are the NET Rankings of Rutgers' opponents for games played through December 8th. There are plenty of opportunities for Rutgers to bolster their NCAA Tournament resume but the Scarlet Knights need to turn around their season quickly as they have suffered two back-to-back blowout losses. 

Rutgers currently sits at 96 in the NET Rankings and they are 5-3 overall without a signature win on the season. It's still very early into the season; however, Rutgers is in a must-win situation headed into the weekend to save their out-of-conference schedule when they tip-off against Seton Hall in their annual rivalry, the Garden State Hardwood Classic, on December 9th at 8:30 PM (FS1). 

Rutgers will have a Quadrant (Q1) opportunity on December 23rd when the Scarlet Knights tip-off against Mississippi State in a neutral site game at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ.

Currently, Rutgers has ten remaining Q1 games on their schedule with three at home, one at a neutral site, and six on the road. Also, Rutgers has six remaining Q2 games on their schedule with two at home and four on the road.
