For those of you who dont follow college baseball, last spring, the Rutgers baseball team came out of the Big Ten Tournament with a 44-15 record, was runner up in the Big Ten in both the regular season and the tournament. Everyone thought we were a lock for an NCAA bid. It didnt happen. The reason the committee gave for leaving Rutgers out: horrendous out of conference schedule. Sound familiar? This year, Owens has scheduled a number of teams that have been to the NCAA Tournament in the past couple years in the OOC schedule. I dont know if Pike and Owens are friends but I hope Owens gives Pike a little friendly advice.
