History

The Rutgers Men's Basketball team played in the Final Four in the 1976 NCAA Tournament and ended the 1976 season ranked fourth in the nation, after an 86-70 loss against the Michigan Wolverines in the semifinal round and a 106-92 loss to the UCLA Bruins in the tournament's third-place consolation game.^[1] This was the last men's Division I tournament to date to feature two unbeaten teams, as both Indiana, who won that year's title, and Rutgers entered the tournament unbeaten. Rutgers went 31-0 during the regular season.

The Scarlet Knights also played the Michigan Wolverines in the 2004 NIT Final which resulted in a Rutgers loss. In 2005-2006 Quincy Douby set a Rutgers Basketball single season record by scoring 839 points.^[2] He left after his junior year to enter the NBA Draft.
