in the tri state area Rutgers is looked at as a fall back option. So many Long Island kids basically think Rutgers is Hofstra. Yet I go to different parts of the country and they think Rutgers is Ivy like. Perception is reality
Just because UVA shit the bed doesn’t make St John’s and Seton Hall any better. They would have lost by 15 each but they would score more than 42 but probably give up 85
Personally I think the NIT should be eliminated. It had its day when the tournament was 32-40 teams but at 68 and probably expanding its worth is obsolete
I don’t think St. John’s or seton hall should get in. They are decent teams but don’t think either one would win a first round game. Big East is top heavy. 3 team league.
I think ACC gets 4 so it will be between Pitt Wake and UVA to battle it out. I figure rutgers has to win 7 games total including tourney to have a shot
