Thought it was a bad question, and the reporter apologized before asking…should have thought of another way to ask that one.
Pikiell answered it with aplomb. But you could tell he was a bit annoyed by it. They all love the word "connected" though. And that's a great word to use for this team. 30 plus assists shows connectivity.
You know who else said he was not a big ceiling guy? Michelangelo.
Jackie Mason used to say Michelangelo was a schmuck because it took him 30 years to paint the ceiling. Go to 1:35 of the clip"

That's what I said as soon as the question was asked. 2 words. National championship.
I agree but my guess is that Pike wants to keep the focus on the next game.
A) Pikes wants to focus on the next game
B) He got burned and trashed so badly for his best team ever line last year, he'll never make big proclamations like that again.
Bart has this league on equal footing with the SEC and Big East.
That aside, Pike answered correctly. Diffuse the noise and stay focused

(1) That's not even true, Bart's conference ratings are B12 >>>> B10 > SEC/BE > P12 > MWC >> ACC (lol) [https://barttorvik.com/trank.php?year=2023&conyes=1#] but more importantly
(2) He would say the same thing if Rutgers were in the SEC or Big East
I get it. Monday morning QB…
The goal is the same as all 365 D1 schools, a national championship.
I saw our odds a few weeks ago at 70-1. Sounds like a long shot until you see what all the other schools are and 1.4% isn’t crazy low.
It is true per Bart analysis of Elite SOS conference games only.
Right now the big 12 is way better than everyone else, big/sec/big east on about equal footing, and the rest in tiers below them.
What?
(1) How did you even get this number.. AFAICT it's not even on the website (the team pages show Elite L% SOS for overall and for non-conf only) and it's certainly not on the conference ratings page. Did you go into every team's page and back out the Elite L% SOS for conference games only?
(2) If for some reason the answer to question #1 is yes.. why??? He publishes conference ratings maybe just use them?
The hoops you will jump through to try to claim the Big Ten isn't that good are absurd.
Bart sent it out. No idea why you’re attacking me here it’s not my info lol.
