There are many signs that show the Rutgers men's basketball team's drastic improvement in its first season under coach Steve Pikiell. The fact that the team has been non-competitive in only two games in the wake of the dismal 7-25 campaign under Eddie Jordan is one sign. But the statistics don't lie, and Rutgers has shown significant improvement in numerous stats.

After coming up just short of its second straight Big Ten road triumph, Pikiell was pressed on his team's progression following a 70-66 loss at Ohio State on Wednesday night. "I think we are learning how to win,'' Pikiell said.
