Eli Manning and the New York football Giants ruined the Patriots 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.So it's been awhile since we updated you on the Highlander's but unless you find 20 point losses exciting, you havent missed anything. The magic number is not at one, with Saturday's showdown against Utah Valley being the final hurdle standing in the way of your Highlanders and immortality. In the past three games NJIT has lost by an average of 17 points per game with their closest contest coming against Chicago State in a 86-76 loss. The Highlanders came behind from 15 down to cut the Chicago State lead to three with 2:34 left in the game, before the Cougars regianed control for the win.
The Highlanders have moved past this near disaster though and focused on the prize: their defeated season. Saturday's rematch with Utah Valley will decide whether they become just another one win team or if they become immortals. Check back later in the week for a comprehensive breakdown of the matchups that matter in Saturday's game.
