Rutgers Basketball Ready To Take Undefeated Record To Miami

You could argue that the Rutgers men’s basketball team hasn’t played as important a regular season game as they will in Wednesday’s road contest at Miami (FL) in at least three years. Starting the Steve Pikiell era with a 6-0 record has given Rutgers fans something they haven’t truly had in a long time. Hope. So what if their rank in KenPom may only be #164th, the teams they have beaten haven’t added a lot of credibility, and they were universally picked to finish last in the Big Ten conference. None of that matters, because the previous few seasons have set the bar so low and coach Pikiell has elevated the program several rungs above in a very short period of time.
