Steve Pikiell Big Ten Media Day Presser

Rutgers basketball head coach Steve Pikiell stepped to the podium at Big Ten Media Day at Madison Square Garden at 11:30 a.m. He was in good spirits and answered a variety of questions from the media, including what it means to play the conference tournament in New York City and about the move to a 20 game Big Ten schedule in the 2018-2019 season. Here is the video of his press conference and the full transcript below. I asked the second question of his session, focusing on the need to improve defensively, specifically in the paint, which is something I wrote about here during the preseason.
