Once upon a time.....
The arrival of Steve Pikiell has seemingly changed the entire image of Rutgers basketball. For literally decades, the basketball scene at Rutgers was moribund. Yes, there was the run to the NIT finals under Gary Waters in 2004. But beyond that, the lack of an invitation to the NCAA for the men’s program since 1991 has given a generation - a generation - of observers the sense that Rutgers men’s basketball just wasn’t ever any good.
Ahh, not so fast my friend.
The RAC did rock. And before that, so did the Barn on College Avenue.
