Why should a 3-game win streak be news? Well, this is Rutgers we are talking about - who last went to the NCAA tournament in 1991. Nebraska, Penn State, Indiana, all in a row. None of them was ranked, but they are Big Ten teams, after all, and Penn State was on the road. And you do have to walk before you can run.
Steve Pikiell is doing it with defense and rebounding - my kind of basketball. I don't know how much improvement his AD has mandated for him to keep his job, but I hope he does. The Scarlet Knights' best season under Pikiell was 15-17 in the 2017 season. So far this season they are 11-9, and they still have four games against ranked teams just to get out of the regular season. So, it won't be easy. But here is hoping they make it. And at least they can say they had a streak.
