Palpable Buzz on Big 10 this season.

One team not being mentioned returns 7 of its top 8 scorers AND a top 50 recruit from a 20 win season last year.

Rutgers!

Did I mention that I love this freakin' team?

Ron Harper is a great representative of the University and the State!

Everyone that has put out a ranking has us ranked anywhere between 15-20 at worst and around 4th to 6th at worst in the loaded Big Ten. Rothstein is just saying this because he's late to the party. Everyone else in the college basketball world has us ranked higher than he has so he's the one out to lunch not the rest of the college basketball world. Hell, Andy Katz even listed Geo Baker as one of the Top 10 returning players in the country. Football and the Big Ten's decision to cancel the fall season has pretty much sucked the air out the room in college sports now anyway so not sure how much palpable buzz there is about hoops at the moment.

I get it. We are in a bunch of preseason rankings, but you won’t hear people actually talk about us

That's okay. It just increases the size of the chip on our shoulders.
