It’s been a little more than a week and a half since the second round loss to Houston in the NCAA Tournament and Rutgers is in full offseason mode.

After leading RU to its most successful back to back seasons in over four decades, the program is entering a critical period. Will Pikiell be able to capitalize on the recent success and elevate expectations long term? Or will this past season be looked back on as an outlier or irregular occurrence as a regression settles in?
