Rutgers’ Steve Pikiell and the Scarlet Knights are happy to be playing basketball. What’s been behind their 3-0 start? The keys to building a program up in a “power conference”. Facing Syracuse and his respect for Coach Boeheim. The mindset of being the hunted versus being the hunter. Expectations at home games, where the RAC was one of the great home court advantages, with no fans allowed. Why they need to keep evolving on the defensive side of the ball. Why its “all iron”, every night in the Big Ten. And why staying safe and healthy will be a huge key to the overall success of the season… Hard to start and stop all season long and be successful…Plus, with the exception of Villanova, many blue-bloods have holes in appears… Is this the year of the outlier?
