Bill Belichek and the Patriots need two more wins to finish the perfect season, but in Newark, New Jersey an athletic achievement of greater magnitude is in reach. THE New Jersey Institute of Technology Highlanders are on the verge of a completely imperfect 0-28 season. In the past 50 years only two teams have gone winless, but the Highlanders 28 losses would tie them with the 2004-2005 edition of Savannah State for the honor of worst team in the history of modern basketball. As the season progresses, we will update you on Head Coach Jim Casciano and the Highlanders as they head toward history.
The magic number now stands at 10 after last night's 64-33 loss to Cornell. The Highlander faithful were rocking early as the junior forward Kyle Edwards threw done a monster dunk to give the home team a 2-0 lead three minutes into the game. Then things...um...well they kind of got ugly. The Cornell Big Red (Big Red is the Taste of Bold) went on a 25-7 run for the 16 point halftime lead. By the middle of the second half the score was 47-18 and Cornell cleared the bench and cruised to the 64-33 win. Freshman guard Tyler Epps led NJIT with 3 assists and no turnovers in 31 minutes (the future is bright for the Highlanders). Next up for the Highlanders is Chicago State in Chicago on Saturday. The Cougars enter this one at 6-13.
