New scheduling system delayed until Spring 2020 RYAN STIESI STAFF WRITER

The new course scheduling software platform that the Office of Scheduling and Space Management has been working on has been delayed until the Spring 2020 semester, said Interim Chancellor of Rutgers—New Brunswick Christopher J. Molloy in a University-wide email last week.

The new scheduling system is an effort to address course-related travel and time-to-degree challenges students face at Rutgers, while also following the University’s phys-

ical master plan, Rutgers 2030, and University Strategic Plan, which call for addressing these issues and improving the student experience.

Molloy said in the email that the delay is to ensure adequate time to thoroughly analyze its Spring 2019 scheduling simulation results, make any needed adjustments for the subsequent semester, and allow the team to run a third simulation on the Fall 2019 semester.

Recently, the Office has been collecting individual instructor SEE SPRING ON PAGE 4

Rutgers students learn from weekly class with jazz legend BRENDAN BRIGHTMAN STAFF WRITER

Grammy-award winning pianist, bandleader and composer Eddie Palmieri hosts weekly Jazz Assembly Days at Mason Gross School of the Arts, according to an article by Rutgers Today.

The “Studio Day” is hosted every Monday with Mason Gross also having occasional Wednesday Visiting Artist Series, which features lectures and clinics from other visiting artists, according to the article.

Palmieri, who was born in 1936 in New York to two Puerto Rican parents, started playing the

piano at age 13, according to the article. He originally wanted to play the drums like someone in his brother’s band, but his mom wanted him to play something more sophisticated.

He loved the piano so much that he would eventually study at Carnegie Hall. According to

the article, the piano has become his passion.

At his weekly master class, he focuses on the piano, where he discusses the music dynamics of the instrument and how to make it more exciting. After all the different performers finish their performances, they get together

and play records and talk, according to the article.

The article stated that when Palmieri opened up his workshop to performers and bands besides piano approximately 150 students showed up to learn from him.

“Three bands at Mason Gross — the Jazz Afro-Caribbean Ensemble, led by Bill O’Connell, who teaches jazz composition and arrangement, and Jazz Chamber 2 and 3 — played a few pieces and I gave them my take on what they could do to improve,” he said.

Conrad Herwig, the head of jazz studies at Mason Gross School of the Arts and a player of trombone, has been Palmieri’s friend for 30 years and is the person who recommended he come to Rutgers to help students. According to the article, Palmieri has been coming to the university for the past four years.

Outside of his teaching gig at Rutgers, Palmieri has plans to work on a symphonic pop project with Marc Stasio, the jazz studies coordinator at Mason Gross School of the Arts, according to the article. The project will blend a lot of Latin history, such as the Spanish and African infusion of culture.

Palmieri has won nine Grammy awards for his blending of Puerto Rican rhythms with the complexity of jazz music, according to the article. With his innovative sound, he has transformed music genres such as Charanga, a Cuban-jazz style.

Palmieri’s advice to students is to focus on preparation, according to the article.

“There is no guess work if they prepare,” he said. “The more you prepare yourself, the better you’ll perform. If you want to make it a career then you’ve got to really dig deeply into whatever genre you want to do.”

SPRING System changes are based on information about past student schedules CONTINUED FROM FRONT availability and has continued to run simulations on the Spring 2019 schedule using the new platform, he said. In addition to compiling the responses, the scheduling office has also collected feedback from faculty.

“Now we are moving to implement the course scheduling platform, and we are being deliberate in this process so we can be sure to produce a scheduling

system that is properly tested and works well for both students and faculty,” he said in the email.

Running the third simulation on the Fall 2019 semester schedule is expected to help the Office provide additional training on the platform, allow departments more time to modify course scheduling workflow and further ensure a smooth transition following the eventual launch, he said.

The platform, once launched, is also expected to help better

accommodate faculty schedules along with students, he said.

“As you may know, this new scheduling system is part of a broader effort to improve our students’ educational experience and reduce both their course-related travel and their time-to-degree,” he said in the email.

Molloy said that changes based on information about student schedules have already been used to influence housing decisions in order to reduce travel time — a move he claimed has reduced bus congestion.

In another email sent in October about the scheduling software, Molloy discussed how modernizing the platform was first identified as an institutional

priority by more than 400 faculty, staff, students, administrators, board members and alumni who led a University-wide strategic planning effort, the results of which were published in the 2014 University Strategic Plan.

Rutgers 2030 was released the following year and fur ther emphasized the impor tance of adressing course-related travel issues, he said.

In 2015, Rutgers President Rober t L. Barchi star ted a task force to fur ther study transportation challenges on campus, which presented its findings in 2016 and notably called for the implementation of a “state-ofthe-ar t” course scheduling software platform.

Molloy said in the October email that, following those findings and since Fall 2017, an implementation team has been working with Infosilem, a software vendor, on integrating the project.

He concluded his email last week by thanking those working on the new platform.

“Finally, I’d like to thank the staf f from the many of fices working tirelessly on this important initiative, and the faculty who are assisting with the simulation and testing,” he said.

“Together, they are providing yet another example of our collective commitment to continuing to improve our students’ Rutgers experience.”

NJ sets new protocol for sexual assault cases ASSOCIATED PRESS

Gov. Phil Murphy (D-N.J.) ordered the review of sexual assault guidelines for law enforcement after a staffer at the state’s housing agency came forward last month as a sexual assault victim.

New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal unveiled the 14 new protocols yesterday. RUTGERS.EDU

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey’s attorney general has unveiled new guidelines for how law enforcement should deal with sexual assault victims.

Attorney General Gurbir Grewal announced the 14 new protocols on Tuesday.

Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy says he ordered the review after a top staffer at the state’s housing agency came forward last month as a sexual assault victim.

Katie Brennan has said too little was done about her complaints, which she reported to law enforcement.

Her story led to the creation of a legislative committee investigating how Murphy handled the complaints.

Murphy ordered an internal review, which is still pending.

Among the new protocols is a requirement that prosecutors offer victims a meeting to discuss their reasons for not pursuing charges in cases that don’t result in them.

Trump administration seeks appeal of immigration ruling ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s administration on Tuesday said it would appeal a judge’s order barring it from enforcing a ban on asylum for any immigrants who illegally cross the U.S.-Mexico border, after the president’s attack on the judge prompted an extraordinar y rebuke from the nation’s chief justice.

The Justice Department filed a notice Tuesday saying it will appeal the order to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. It also asked the judge to stay his order pending the appeal.

Trump criticized the 9th Circuit last week as biased and dismissed the judge who ruled against him — an appointee of Trump’s predecessor — as an “Obama judge.”

Chief Justice John Roberts responded with a statement that the federal judiciary doesn’t have “Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges.” It was the first time Roberts has hinted at any criticism of the president, as judges ordinarily avoid making any public statements on politics.

Roberts and the rest of the Supreme Court may end up deciding the asylum case. The 9th Circuit, seen as liberal leaning, has already ruled against Trump in several major immigration cases.

U.S. District Judge Jon S. Tigar in San Francisco issued a temporar y restraining order Nov. 19 against Trump’s Nov. 9 proclamation that automatically barred anyone who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border between of ficial por ts of entr y from seeking asylum.

Trump issued the proclamation in response to the caravans of migrants approaching the border that he’s claimed are a national security threat.

But Tigar sided with legal groups who sued hours after the proclamation was issued. The groups argued that federal law unambiguously says immigrants in the United States can request

asylum regardless of whether they entered the country lawfully.

“Whatever the scope of the President’s authority, he may not rewrite the immigration laws to impose a condition that Congress has expressly forbidden,” the judge said in his order.

In its request for a stay Tuesday, the Justice Department said Tigar’s order “immediately harms the government and jeopardizes important national interests.”

Lee Gelernt, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, said in a statement that the group would “vigorously oppose the stay request, so that people’s lives are not put in danger.”

In issuing the proclamation, Trump invoked the same national security powers that he used to impose a travel banon citizens of countries with over whelmingly Muslim populations.

The 9th Circuit ruled the administration couldn’t withhold money from so-called “sanctuary cities,” end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program for younger immigrants brought to the U.S. by their parents or impose the travel ban.

In the case of the travel ban, the Supreme Court ultimately reversed the 9th Circuit’s decision when it ruled that Trump had the authority to impose it.

Asylum is intended for people who have fled their countries of origin because they have suffered persecution or fear that they will be persecuted if they are forced to return.

Crossing the U.S.-Mexico border between ports of entry is a federal crime, but that does not typically preclude someone from requesting asylum. Tigar noted that federal law says someone may seek asylum if they have arrived in the United States, “whether or not at a designated port of arrival.”

By the estimates of the Department of Homeland Security, around 70,000 people a year claim asylum after crossing illegally. DHS alleges that many of those people make false claims and take advantage of loopholes in the system.

Meanwhile, at least 3,000 people have arrived in Tijuana, Mexico, across the border from San Diego, California, with hopes of requesting asylum at a port of entr y there. DHS has said it’s prepared for as many as 10,000 or more people to arrive in various caravans.

U.S. agents on Sunday fired tear gas at hundreds of migrantsafter some of them tried to get through the fence separating the two countries.

President Donald J. Trump’s administration has appealed a judge’s order barring it from enforcing a ban on asylum for any immigrants who illegally cross the US-Mexico border. FLICKR

Jealousy can be very harmful trait

J

ealously is a term that is often associated with phrases such as low KAAN JON BOZTEPE self-esteem, loneliness, feelings of emptiness, inadequacy, anxiety, stress and neuroticism. Now, what is clear is that jealously is a predictable emotion that many will experience in life whether it be during an intimate relationship, or due to someone’s appearance, another person’s work ethic or somebody’s house. Jealously directly correlates with one’s lower self-esteem. Now the difficult question to ask yourself is, “how do we deal with jealously?” Unfortunately, the answer is not so straightforward, but I hope my piece today will be a helpful source in seeing how to deal with and control jealously.

For starters, and most importantly, the majority of people are not aware they are jealous. We, as people in society, commonly have a built-in shame that exists within us, which causes us to be overly critical about ourselves. We’ve all heard our friends say, “you’re being to hard on yourself” before and with good reason, because we actually are. Our friends aren’t the ones who contemplate their height, their hair, their voice, their grades, and so on and so forth. The overanalysis we construe onto ourselves comes from us endlessly trying to keep up with how the modern person should look, talk, learn, act, and live. This is detrimental to one’s health as it often leads to a lot of negative self-talk, so my first premise on how we can overcome jealously is to notice our inner thoughts and question them. To elaborate, someone may not be able to change their height, but they do have control over their weight and body figures. We must learn to accept what we were given and fix the things we do have control of if they make us feel insecure.

Although, this might be difficult if somebody is experiencing competitive jealously. This is the type of jealousy where one is only happy and satisfied with life if they are experiencing a higher level of satisfaction than the competition around them. Now, this competitive

KAANOTATIONS

“Before we get too far into our jealous state, we need to take a few steps back ...” nature can be a good trait, if used properly. The thin line between the two is that competitive jealously is the feeling of accomplishment only if they are doing better than those around them. Someone with a healthy competitive nature would have the feeling of accomplishment if they saw they were doing better in their lives then they were the day before and wanted to continue to build on their past achievements or lessons.

Competitiveness with oneself is actually healthy, as it leads to a more proactive and ambitious personality, but when you are only competitive to do better than others rather than for yourself, then you aren’t caring for yourself and that has demoralizing effects.

We now know the causes for jealously and the toll it can take on us, but how do we deal with it and control it? First, we need to find the stem of the issue. What’s causing you to become irritated or feeling insecure? Before we get too far into our jealous state, we need to take a few steps back from the situation and think objectively about what bothers us. It could be something that stems from a traumatic experience in your youth, something that you have been judged about in the past, or something that only you see, and others don’t.

Regardless, calm down and stay susceptible to thought. No matter how jealous we become, no matter the circumstance, we need to find a way back to ourselves. To do this, we need to soften our tone. Jealously comes in waves, so we need to allow the first few waves to past, to take deep breathes, to meditate, to do yoga, to draw, to write, and whatever else that might de-stresses you. Once we calm down, we can then start to accept and acknowledge our jealously without acting out or doing something we’d regret.

That critical voice in our mind usually advises us to take actions that could potentially hurt us. This is because that inner voice is based off emotions, not logical comprehension. What we must do is seek our own sense of security, to reassure ourselves. We need to be able to love ourselves, or at least strive to love ourselves more and more as time goes on because self-love and self-care will only strengthen you mentally. It will help you have a closer connection to life, to notice the bigger things, to be more grateful, and the list is endless. We need to embrace the qualities that we have, respect those around us, and continue to compete to be the best versions of ourselves that we can be, and to do so for ourselves and no one else.

Battlefield V gives positive first impression for good reason GAMER NEXT DOOR MITCHELL KEVETT

B

attlefield V is finally out for PS4, Xbox One and PC and I am loving it so far. In the best way possible, the game feels like older Battlefield series entries. With large-scale battles, team/objective-based gameplay and long matches, the series’ core gameplay formula remains largely the same.

The new multiplayer maps boast interesting layouts. Take Twisted Steel, for example, a map centered around a broken bridge with cottages on surrounding hillsides. Battlefield V is familiar, enjoyable and gorgeous.

The multiplayer gameplay will feel extremely familiar to Battlefield series veterans. Players are grouped into squads of four, and the option is available to spawn on squad-mates who are out in the map. There are four major classes: recon, medic, support and assault.

Recon players generally spot and snipe enemies from afar, medics can heal teammates and revive fallen comrades, support players can carr y light machine guns and distribute ammunition and assault players can move quickly with high-damage weapons.

Returning favorite game modes like Conquest and

Grand Operations are in Battlefield V as well. In Conquest, players are tasked with capturing and holding a set of points which are spread out across the map. Grand Operations is more akin to a traditional point attack/defense game mode, and the mode has matches which span multiple maps or battles.

‘Widows’ delivers emotional thriller with star-studded, diverse cast EAMONN O'NEILL CONTRIBUTING WRITER

“Widows” is a moody film concerned with character, politics, race, religion and gender. Oh, and there’s a heist — a fairly big one.

Academy Award winning director Steve McQueen (“Hunger,” “Shame,” “12 Years A Slave”) creates an air of mayhem, grief and anguish. Even among such heavy themes, McQueen delivers a fantastic film both within and outside the heist genre.

McQueen wrote the film alongside novelist Gillian Flynn, who wrote “Gone Girl.” Together they inter weave several plot lines and characters resulting into a kaleidoscopic narrative inside the city of Chicago.

The film opens with Veronica (Viola Davis) and her criminal mastermind husband Harr y (Liam Neeson) lying in bed.

Clearly in love, they kiss and gaze into one another’s eyes.

The film cuts back and forth between them and later that day when Harr y and his gang rob their rivals. The job goes horribly wrong, leaving Veronica and the other wives as the titular widows. McQueen’s deftness as a director shines as he shows Veronica and Harr y living a life of luxur y, tranquility and love,

while displaying the cost of such a lifestyle.

Harr y leaves Veronica with an impending $2 million debt to the menacing duo of Jatemme Manning (Daniel Kaluuya) and Jamal (Brian Tyree Henr y), a crime boss running for alderman in his gerr ymandered Chicago ward. Both actors are excellent and terrifying in vastly different roles. Henr y channels a melancholic pain and overbearing menace, toggling between them seemingly between frames.

Kaluuya’s eyes alone haunt the film as he robs, kills and steals or orders others to do so. Together they threaten and intimidate Veronica, forcing her into criminal enterprise.

Luckily, Veronica finds Harry’s old notebook, detailing a plan for a $5 million robbery. She sets out to assemble her team of widows, paired with an incentive — $3 million split evenly. Veronica finds Alice (Elizabeth Debicki) and Linda (Michelle Rodriguez).

Each woman comes with their own reason for grief beyond just their husband’s death, creating characters with more depth. In Veronica they find a way out of their troubling circumstances and someone who understands them, even though both are skeptical of the plan.

Co-written by director Steve McQueen and novelist Gillian Flynn, "Widows" seamlessly intertwines different plot lines and characters for a chaotic narrative. INSTAGRAM Together they set out on their robbery, adding Belle (Cynthia Erivo) to their crew. For a brief few moments, McQueen allows the film to become engulfed in the heist. The women scope locations, search for blueprints and shoot target practice. Beyond the suffering on these widows’ faces, an uncertain future looms.

The heist takes place against the backdrop of the alderman election. It is a face-off between

Jamal and the white legacy candidate Jack Mulligan (Colin Farrell), whose father (Robert Duvall) held the seat for decades, essentially as a crime boss. Jamal needs Veronica to pay the debt so he can defeat Mulligan and become the first black alderman of his hometown ward.

McQueen’s choice to look at the effects of the heist from several angles serves the film well, giving it depth and character.

A lot can be said of McQueen’s spectacular direction. His past films each focus on the idea of suffering and pain, including how that affects not just one person but the community around them.

He is able to incorporate that focus into this high-stakes scenario.

His framing, blocking and staging of several scenes in this film show a master at work.

For all of McQueen’s vision, this is an acting-driven movie.

Davis carries the film wearing each emotion on her face. Her bereavement carries and commands attention throughout and her interactions with the other women prove mighty. Debicki charms throughout and delivers empathy with a glare. Each actor has their moment including a mesmerizing Duvall and delicious Farrell.

“Widows” is a crowded movie.

Just by looking at the poster, with each actor squished against the next, you’d surmise that. There are plotlines and threads galore, some are resolved others are left hanging. Even so, each moment is necessary to display the consequences of crime and the many lives a city touches. McQueen paired with a perfect cast presents a chaotic, slow-burn thriller that emotes and breathes life into a genre.

Italian fashion house gets heat for controversial ad clips SOPHIA COLITTI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The beauty of the fashion industr y is that it invites people of all cultures to immerse themselves into a universal art form.

From a professional standpoint, it is imperative that designers explore their inner creativity while remaining respectful toward different backgrounds, seeing as their campaigns reach a wide audience. As such, there are lines that campaigns should not cross regarding race, ethnicity and culture among other personal elements and beliefs.

Dolce & Gabbana’s most recent social media campaign has sparked major criticism, and the fashion house has been deemed racist by viewers who were enraged by the video content. In preparation for their Shanghai show on Nov. 21, 2018, Dolce & Gabbana released video clips, captioning them with #DGLovesChina and #DGTheGreatShow. The “Eating with Chopsticks” series is comprised of snippets of an Asian woman who attempts to eat large ser vings of Italian food, such as pizza, spaghetti and a cannoli with regular sized chopsticks.

Stereotypical Chinese oriented decor was also featured in the background. In the eyes of the Chinese viewers, the series in

WIN Knights look for 3rd consecutive win after strong showing against BU over weekend CONTINUED FROM BACK Graduate student center Shaquille Doorson used his short time on the court wisely back in 2016, putting up 4 points, grabbing four boards and blocking a shot in just 9 minutes of play.

Then, last season, the Knights came into the Challenge 7-0 and ready to face another undefeated team: Florida State. Rutgers had big-time performances from two players, with junior forward Eugene Omoruyi and former player Corey Sanders leading the way for the Knights with 22 and 20 points each, respectively.

After the Seminoles went into halftime up by 1 point, both teams put up a heavy fight to try and get an advantage over the other. Florida State was able to get the edge in the second half and spread things out, eventually holding Rutgers off and winning the game 78-73 thereby handing the Knights their first loss of the 2017 season.

This time around, Rutgers won’t have the added pressure of trying to stay undefeated on its shoulders, as the team already got that out of the way earlier this month with an 84-65 loss to St. John’s at the Rutgers Athletic Center (RAC).

The Knights enter Wednesday’s matchup coming off a 5444 win over Boston University last Friday. Omoruyi had arguably the best game of his career against the Terriers, scoring 20 points and grabbing a career-high 17 rebounds.

But the final score doesn’t tell the whole story, as Rutgers had an extremely hard time shooting the ball from the field. In fact, the bench shot a combined 1-14 for just 2 points. Omoruyi and sophomore guard Geo Baker picked up the slack for the Knights, with Baker adding another 19 points to Omoruyi’s 20.

Overall, Rutgers shot 18-56 (32 percent) and just 5-22 (23 percent) from 3-point-land. The

key for the Knights were second-chance points (12) and points off turnovers (15).

“I liked that we hung in there and we just grinded it out,” Pikiell said, according to scarlet knights. com. “I told the guys that defense decides the result of the game and the offense decides the margin.”

Doorson was ver y helpful for Rutgers on the board in this one,

grabbing nine defensive boards and another three on offense, which helped out on the second-chance points effort. As a team, the Knights out-rebounded Boston University, 45-33.

Despite its own poor shooting, Rutgers held the Terriers to a bad night from the field as well.

Boston University shot 33 percent overall and a paltry 13 percent from beyond the arc.

Coming into the Challenge, the Hurricanes will tr y and bounce back from their first loss of the season at the hands of Seton Hall on Sunday evening. The gut-wrenching 83-81 loss came

down to the wire and Miami had a shot to tie the score with less than 1 minute remaining.

After coming back from a 7-point deficit earlier in the half, the Hurricanes were down 8280 when center Ebuka Izundu was sent to the free-throw line to shoot two shots. He hit the first one, but missed the second and the opportunity to tie the game with 41 seconds to play.

A shocking turnover by the Pirates gave the ball back to Miami with 16 seconds to play, but a low-percentage 3-point shot with 6 seconds left was missed by guard Anthony

Lawrence, and Seton Hall grabbed the rebound. The Pirates hit one more foul shot to put the game away and handed the Hurricanes their first loss of the year.

As conference play approaches for both squads, winning as many non-conference games as possible will be key for a successful season, and will be needed if either side hopes to reach the NCAA Tournament.

MLB strikes deal with MGM as gambling expands ASSOCIATED PRESS MGM Resorts International became Major League Baseball’s official gambling partner in the U.S. and Japan, a deal made as the sport tries to ensure more prevalent legal sports betting does not lead to any scandals of the type sparked by illegal wagers in its past.

MATCHUP Rutgers faces undefeated Hokies team on 1st single game road trip CONTINUED FROM BACK The Knights’ upcoming opponent, the Hokies (7-0), are undefeated in seven games played.

Forward Regan Magarity posted 15 rebounds against Richmond and 16 against Villanova

for Virginia Tech. She is a key defensive player for the Hokies.

Offensively, she made it to 1,000 points last season, an impressive feat as a junior.

Graduate student guard Charise Wilson had 17 points on 7-8 shooting from the field.

She also had a 75-percent 3-point percentage.

“To get a win at a tournament is a positive thing,” Wilson said.

“We’re just gonna have positive energy come home, learn and regroup. I decided I needed to produce more on the team. When shots are falling, Coach Stringer said ‘just let them go,’ and I just shot confidently.”

Fifth-year senior forward Stasha Carey had a .571 field goal percentage against East Tennessee State.

Rutgers is capable of handing the Hokies their first loss of the season, even though it can be one of the more challenging games it has on the schedule.

Against Gonzaga, the Knights ended the game shooting a 31.3-percent field goal percentage. They improved significantly against the Buccaneers, ending the game with a 57.4 percentage from the field.

Playing a tough team can influence how a team will perform.

Rutgers should go into this game with a positive mindset against

a dominating team like Virginia Tech, and going into the Big Ten conference schedule.

Communication is key for the Knights to win this coming game.

In the past, communication has been an issue in games they have won. Head coach C. Vivian Stringer has touched on how they need to come together and work as a team.

Currently, Rutgers is 1-2 at neutral site games and has yet to play at a designated away game.

The Knights face a difficult task when playing the Hokies, who have an eight-game win streak “We just have to learn to play with each other more,” Wilson said.

“We’re a new team. We just learned a lot from this tournament. We’re gonna do better. Less turnovers.

We won but we’re upset about it.”

Rutgers looks for 3rd straight win at Miami COBY GREEN SPORTS EDITOR

The Rutgers men’s basketball team has seen a lot of success during the first few set of games to start the seasons over the last few years, and things are no different in 2018.

The Scarlet Knights (4-1) have played mostly up to par with their results since head coach Steve Pikiell took over the program in 2016. In its four wins to start the year, Rutgers has outscored its opponents by a combined score of 302-201.

But, the Knights seem to have a hard time at the Big Ten/ACC Challenge held each year, taking losses in both of Pikiell’s first two seasons. Rutgers will face off against familiar foe Miami at the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Fla. tonight for another edition of the Challenge and the team’s first road game of the year, with hopes of taking a win back to New Jersey.

The Knights and the Hurricanes (5-1) were matched up together for the Challenge in 2016 and established a solid entrance for Pikiell into the series, but Miami pulled away for a 73-61 win to hand Rutgers its first loss of the 2016 season. Pikiell’s first season started with the team going 11-1 out of the gates.
