The official start of fall is less than two weeks away and the date for MidKnight Madness, an event celebrating the start of practice for Rutgers basketball, is set for the end of this month. Hoops season is ALMOST here. After a 15-18 record in his first season and producing the most successful summer recruiting wise that the program has had in a long time, head coach Steve Pikiell has developed a solid foundation for rebuilding Rutgers basketball.
In general terms, he has instilled hope back into the fan base, something that is harder to do with this program than it is most everywhere else.
