PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) A person familiar with the decision says Rutgers basketball coach Eddie Jordan has been fired.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the university has not announced the decision. The firing comes less than 24 hours after Nebraska defeated the Scarlet Knights in the opening round of the Big Ten tournament.
The loss ended an injury-plagued season in which Rutgers (7-25) won just one conference game, that win coming against under-manned Minnesota on the final day of the regular season.
The 61-year-old Jordan, who was hired in the wake of the scandal that led to the firing of Mike Rice and athletic director Tim Pernetti, posted a 29-68 record in three seasons, including a 3-35 conference mark during two years in the Big Ten.
Rutgers finished this season 0-14 away from home.
