If you haven’t heard by now, Rutgers just announced that Jacob Young did not travel with the team for tonight’s game due to being suspended for violating program rules. It’s obviously not a good situation ahead of facing no. 9 Maryland on the road, but this team has been a tough team that’s responded to adversity before. Paul Mulcahy will have an opportunity to step up in Young’s absence. Let’s hope for a strong performance tonight against arguably the best team in the Big Ten.
