Very close to .500 season, Rutgers first ever win in the Big 10 Tournament, the first time a 14 seed has ever won in the Big 10 Tournament.  Pikiell has had a much better year than Boal's now.  Pikiell is one of the hottest coaches in the country.  What he has done with Rutgers in year 1 is miraculous.  In fact, if he wasn't still in his very first year, I guarantee they would extend him.  Boals did great with Pikiell's players and Pikiell did great with Eddie Jordan's.  Now the question for both is - can they win at their new place with their own players?  By the way - I am very much in the camp of they can and will.

Much better year? Who here expected a 2 seed? We were picked to finish 7th. Rutgers definitely made some strides and the arrow's pointing up, but Boals got every last bit out of this group.
