It has been 30 years since Rutgers last earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament. That streak is now over (more than likely to be confirmed on Sunday). With a timely OT win over Minnesota on the road this past Saturday, the Scarlet Knights are going dancing for the first time in three decades. So of course we need to celebrate on today's State of the Program episode. And we do ring in these happy times for Rutgers with one of the best covering Steve Pikiell's crew, Aaron Breitman. Aaron is the Managing Editor of SB Nation's On The Banks and we promised him that the next time he appeared on this podcast to talk Rutgers hoops, it would be in a positive light. And oh boy, that is certainly the case following this historic season for the Scarlet Knights.
