Recruits, not recruiting rankings: The Steve Pikiell Philosophy

The day is March 7th, 2020, and Rutgers is visiting Mackey Arena to face off against an always-tough Purdue team in their last game of the season. Rutgers, sitting at 19-11 needed a win on the road to solidify their spot in the big dance for the first time since 1991 (if not for covid). This game was neck and neck the whole way, an instant Big 10 classic. No team led by more than 6, and a missed free throw late by Purdue sent this game to overtime.
