Hamady Ndiayes’ first ever block in a Rutgers uniform, at the RAC, came on November 11th, 2006 against Kansas State. It was his debut performance for the Scarlet Knights. Coming off the bench, Ndiaye logged 18 minutes, while missing his only shot attempt and failing on his five free-throw attempts. But like most games since his debut, the 6’11†center from Dakar, Senegal, led all players with the most blocked shots.
Less than two weeks ago, DePaul (8-19, 1-14 Big East) and Rutgers (14-14, 4-11 Big East) battled in Rosemont, IL. Up by as many as 17 in the first half, DePaul thought they had the game in the bag. Rutgers had something to say about that. The Scarlet Knights dropped 44 points on the Blue Demons in the second half; as they would go on to pull off the comeback victory, 68-64.
The Rutgers Scarlet Knights (14-13, 4-10 Big East) squad shot a season-low 35% (21-60) from the field Saturday night, while being blown out of the building by the UConn Huskies. They look to leave that humiliating loss behind, as they travel up the turnpike to battle the Seton Hall Pirates (15-10, 6-8 Big East) tonight at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
