Bill Belichek and the Patriots need one more win 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 Highlanders traveled to the windy city on Saturday to take on the Chicago State Cougars. NJIT kept things close for the first 12 minutes of the contest before Chicago State began to pull away. Nesho "I'm Not Slobodan" Milosevic led all scorers with 20 points, but it just wasn't enough as the magic number now bumped down to 9 for the Highlanders.
Up Next: Texas-Pan American (11-10) on Saturday at 1:00 at the Prudential Center. The Highlanders lost to TPA 76-61 on December 31st.
