Preseason Questions For Rutgers Men’s Basketball

With just one senior and only five returning players with Big Ten experience, there are a lot of unknowns about what to expect from the Rutgers men’s basketball team this season. In Steve Pikiell’s third season leading the program, the roster is made up entirely of his recruits with senior center Shaq Doorson as the lone exception. While early signs point to improved athleticism, lineup versatility and a more balanced roster, expectations should be tempered based on the lack of experience with this team. There are plenty of questions regarding this Rutgers edition ahead of its first game of the season, which tips off on November 9th at home against Fairleigh Dickinson.
