With the start of college basketball season on the horizon, we’ll be taking a long look at the conference at large as well as Indiana’s roster over the next month. Today, our Big Ten team previews begin with a look at Rutgers.
Steve Pikiell’s fourth year at Rutgers may be the first with concrete expectations for his Scarlet Knights squad.
After opening his Rutgers tenure with consecutive three-win Big Ten seasons in 2016-17 and 2017-18, Pikiell’s team eclipsed that combined total last season. A 14-17 overall record in the 2018-19 season featured seven Big Ten wins, including a season split against Indiana.
