[QUOTE="Dren1, post: 1377696, member: 630273"] Looks like ESPN agrees with you. Despite only a one win difference in conference games between the two teams, this is what was in the recap: [B]BIG PICTURE[/B] [B] Illinois: The Fighting Illini secured the No. 12 seed in the Big Ten Tournament. A solid start for a first-year coach.[/B] [B] Rutgers: Picked to finish last in the Big Ten for the fourth year in a row, the Scarlet Knights only had three Big Ten wins. That leaves them at the bottom of the conference along with Iowa as second-year coach Steve Pikiell tries to rebuild the downtrodden program.[/B] [URL]http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/recap?gameId=400986591[/URL] I am optimistic by nature, but I think using "solid start" to describe our season is a bit much. "Downtrodden program," on the other hand, seems to fit Rutgers pretty well. [/QUOTE]
