Mahwah, NJ:  The Ramapo College men's basketball team is off to their best start under head coach Chuck McBreen when they posted a 88-73 victory last night over Farmingdale State College for their ninth straight win.
 
The team's current win streak eclipses the 2012-2013 men's basketball start of an 8-0 record including a 6-0 NJAC record. The 2012-2013 team finished the season as NJAC Champions, the third conference title in program history, and a 23-5 overall record. Each time the team has started with a 5-0 record or better they have made it to the NJAC Tournament and the NCAA Tournament. In 2002-2003 the team started off 6-0 and went all the way to the NCAA Elite Eight. During the 2006-2007 season the team went 5-0 and eventually won the first NJAC Championship in school history in any sport. That season Ramapo hosted the NCAA Regional Tournament and the team finished with a 22-8 record.  The 2010-2011 men's basketball team posted a 5-0 record and earned a spot in the NJAC Tournament and a NCAA At-Large bid. That team posed a 20-win season and finished 20-7 overall.
