Rutgers is headed for March Madness, and for one player on the men's basketball team, the celebration is extra special.
Rutgers is celebrating an NCAA tournament invite, but for Paul Mulcahy, it's part of his journey that took a devastating turn when his family home in Bayonne was engulfed in flames more than seven years ago.
"I've got a strong faith and I think god kind of helped my family get through all that," Mulcahy said. He smiles when he reflects on how far he and his family have come from that helpless February day to now, playing as a gritty point guard for the Scarlet Knights. "We've seen almost every type of style of basketball so we just gotta compete -- mentally we'll be prepared and just physically we gotta exert everything," Mulcahy said.
