Saturday night’s loss was difficult result to digest, but also proof that this program has made significant strides this season under first year coach Steve Pikiell. While it’s easy to focus on a blown 4 point lead with 3 minutes to play, the very fact that Rutgers was in that position is a major step. It was almost exactly a year to the day that they lost by 39 points in the same building to a Northwestern team inferior to this year’s version. The Wildcats this year are almost definitely headed to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in their program’s history.
