IF I HAD YOUConstruction has begun on the RWJ Barnabas Health Athletic Perfor-mance Center at Rutgers University. Slated for completion in 2019, it will be built on the site of the existing parking lot southwest of the RAC and northwest of the Rutgers Business School. In addition to a sports medicine center, the building will provide a state-of-the-art practice facility for men’s and women’s basketball, wrestling and gymnastics. In 2016-17, the Harriett and Bob Druskin Strength and Conditioning Center, as well as the Abe Suydam men’s basketball locker room, were both dedicated at the RAC.

THE LAST DANCERutgers battled No. 3-ranked Michigan State for 40 minutes, but was un-able to find its shot in a 62-52 loss to the Spartans Tuesday evening at the RAC. The Scarlet Knights limited MSU to a season-low 62 points and 38.6 percent shooting, well below its season average of 50.2 percent. Rutgers drew even with the Spartans in rebounds, as both squads grabbed 45 boards. It snapped a streak of six straight games MSU has out-rebounded its opponent. Deshawn Freeman had a game-high nine rebounds to go along with a team-high 13 points, falling one board shy of his 14th career double-double. Geo Baker and Eugene Omoruyi joined Freeman in double digits. Both posted 11 points in a contest that featured four ties and five lead changes.

COME FLY WITH MERutgers began this season the same way it concluded the last, with an emphasis on community service and giving back. Rutgers and St. John’s raised $15,000 for American Red Cross Disaster Relief via a charity exhibi-tion at the RAC on Nov. 5. The day prior (Nov. 4), the team hosted a clinic with the Special Olympics New Jersey unified basketball team that will

represent the Garden State at the 2018 Special Olympics USA games. On Nov. 7, players volunteered at Elijah’s Promise Soup Kitchen in New Bruns-wick as part of RLA’s Annual Week of Service. The kitchen serves almost 300 meals a day and over 100,000 meals a year to individuals who would otherwise go hungry. On Sept. 24, the team participated in the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run. The event symbolizes Stephen Siller’s final footsteps from the foot of the Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers, and pays homage to the 343 FDNY firefighters, 71 law enforcement officers, and thousands of civil-ians who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001. Last season, men’s basketball had 100% team participation in Rutgers Leadership Academy community service initiatives. Joey Downes was one of nine student-athletes to travel to Honduras with the RLA in June to benefit Soles4Souls, a global not-for-profit dedicated to fighting poverty.

A FINE ROMANCE 2017-18 marks the 40th anniversary of the Rutgers Athletic Center. Men’s basketball has a 417-222 all-time record at the venue. Opened in 1977, the RAC has been dubbed, “louder than a 757 from nearby Newark.” The arena served as the home of the NBA’s New Jersey Nets from 1977 until 1981, when the Brendan Byrne Arena opened at the Meadowlands. The Grateful Dead played at the RAC on May 15, 1981 and are one of many musical groups to jam in Piscataway. The Allman Brothers, Frank Zappa, Cheap Trick, Supertramp, Steve Winwood, Styx and R.E.M. have also performed within its confines.

MAYBE YOU’LL BE THERERutgers plays 15 games (48% of its regular season schedule) against op-ponents that earned NCAA (11) or NIT (4) postseason berths last year. In 2016-17, RU played the second-toughest conference schedule in the Big Ten according to Ken Pom analysis. Fans have the opportunity to support the Scarlet Knights 22 times at the RAC, including nine contests versus opponents that earned NCAA (6) or NIT (3) bids last season.

NEW YORK, NEW YORKThe 2018 Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament will take place at Madison Square Garden, Feb. 28-March 4. The league held its annual media day from the World’s Most Famous Arena on Oct. 19. Rutgers is 45-55 at the current (since Feb. 1968) Madison Square Garden. Overall at MSG since 1949, Rutgers is 51-57.

His size and athleticism, along with his skill set allow him to do some things that a lot of guys can’t. “He’s just a great, great kid. He’s a little more on the quiet side, but is a really funny kid. He gets along really well with all his teammates. He’s very re-spectful and just a pleasure to be around.”

Rutgers is getting just a person with great character and personality. Shaq is an unbelievably hard worker, he’s tough, and he’s incredibly coachable.

Head Coach Steve Pikiell: “We are excited to have Ron Harper Jr. join Rutgers Nation. He was a player we identified and loved from the first time we saw him play. His versatility and ability to shoot the ball, along with the fact that he’s an awesome kid from a tremendous family, was really exciting to our staff and me as the head coach. We love the fact that he is from a winning and well coached program at Don Bosco in our home state of New Jersey. Ron has a tremendous upside and we look forward to him having a great career ‘On the Banks.’ Rutgers Nation is very excited to add Ron Harper Jr. to R Family.” Don Bosco Prep Head Coach Kevin Diverio: “He’s been great for us in his progression as a player, on and off the court. I think his best days are ahead of him. I don’t think he’s near the kind of player that he will end up being. I think that potential was what Rutgers saw in him that some other people missed out on. He comes from a great family, with both his mom and his dad being Division I players. His game has evolved since last year. He’s been a leader on our team and someone that we look to score, rebound and defend. He’s really embraced his role and run with it. “His versatility is his biggest strength. He can play and score both inside and outside, he has great court vision. He passes the ball well. He’s not one dimensional, I think down the line he’ll be able to guard multiple positions. His teammates love him. He is a great teammate and I think that goes a long way in creating team unity. I can’t say enough about him as a person.”

RUTGERS MEDIA POLICIESMedia Credentials: Credentials for Rutgers home games are issued to working media only and should be requested as early as possible due to space limitations and demand. To apply for credentials, please email the Office of Athletic Communications (OAC) at [email protected]. For information on the credentialing policy, please visit http://www.scarletknights.com/sports/2017/6/16/athletics-communications.aspx

Parking: Complimentary parking is available to accredited media in the YELLOW LOT North of the RAC. Please show the attendant your media cre-dential to gain access. Those media members arriving to games without a credential will be required to pay the requisite parking fee. The SCARLET lot on the South side of the RAC is closed due to construction of the RWJBarnabas Health Athletic Performance Center at Rutgers University. Media Entrance/Will Call: Working media are to enter the Rutgers Athletic Center (RAC) via the designated entrance at the Northeast corner of the are-na. All media are to check-in via the media table, where pre-approved credentials may also be picked up. Please note that there is no will call for parking.

Press Row/Press Box: For the 2017-18 season, working media space, as well as television and radio broadcast locations, will be located in the North side press boxes of the RAC. Rutgers radio is located in press box three (PB3), television in PB4A, writers in PB4B and PB4C and visiting radio in PB5. Wireless internet access is available, as well as live game stats via Statbroadcast.com. Please see and OAC representative for password information.

In-Season Interview Policy: Requests for coaches, players and basketball staff members should be made at least 24 hours in advance. All interviews must be coordinated through the OAC. Practice: Practices are closed to the public. Practices are open to accredited members of the media with prior arrangements through the OAC. The shooting of video footage at practice must be approved by an OAC representative and be conducted during the first 20 minutes of practice. Rutgers players are unavailable on game days until post-game interviews commence. Post-Game Press Conferences: Post-game press conferences at the RAC begin approximately 10 minutes after the conclusion of each game. A member of the Rutgers OAC staff will escort head coach Steve Pikiell and selected/requested players to the interview area, located in the media center. The opposing coach and players (if requested) will also be brought to the media conference room, either before or after Rutgers depending on time constraints. The opposing team may also elect to conduct their post-game outside of its locker room. Please see a member of the OAC with any questions or specific requests for interviews.

SOMETHING WONDERFULQuincy Douby was officially inducted into the Rutgers Athletics Hall of Fame on Oct. 20, 2017. He scored 1,690 points, the sixth-highest total in Rutgers men’s basketball history, in three seasons. The Brooklyn native averaged 25.4 points per-game as a junior in 2005-06, setting the school record for points in a season (839), to lead the league in scoring en route to becoming RU’s only First Team All-Big East Conference selection.
