We’ve sort of been here before. But this is a different angle. A different perspective. Hear me out.
Ryan Dunleavy of nj.com did an interesting - if not depressing - story about the best D1 teams in New Jersey. There are only eight schools in the Garden State that play at that level: Rutgers, Princeton, Monmouth, St.Peter’s, Rider, NJIT, and Fairleigh Dickinson. Oh, yeah. Almost forgot. The Hall. It is easy to overlook them.
In Dunleavy’s piece, he highlighted the best teams across the sports spectrum in 2016-17, pointing out the best, regardless of conference or anything else.
