Big 10 Media Day set for Thursday October 19 at MSG......

[BigEastPhil]

Interesting as the Big East Media Day will occur on Wed 10/18 at MSG and then followed by the Big 10 on Thursday 10/19 at MSG as well.

What I hope to hear:

- 20 Game League Schedule for 2018/19
- More Big 10 Tournaments in MSG or Barclays in future years
- Rutgers not voted for last place per the Coaches pre-season picks
- Corey Sanders making a Pre Season All Tourney Team.
- Dourcore and Baker making Pre Season all Rookie Teams

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

I believe the Reps for Rutgers will be Sanders, Williams and Freeman.

 

[kcg88]

I don't believe the Big Ten does a preseason poll anymore.

 

[BigEastPhil]

Jon Rothstein had some type of Big 10 Preseason Poll today as follows:

1- Michigan State
2 - Purdue
3 - Minnesota
4 - Northwestern
5 - Maryland
6 - Michigan
7 - Wisconsin
8- Iowa
9 - Indiana
10 - Penn State
11 - Ohio State
12 - Illinois
13 - Nebraska
14 - Rutgers

Ugh. Shock the world!

I do not believe that we will finish last in the BIG this season.

Andy Katz has been added to the BTN. Good to see as I always liked him. Very nice genuine guy

 

[knights1212]

I think I read that Coach Pikiell will be on the BTN from 11:30-11:40 AM. I definitely want to see the coverage by the BTN today.

damn, just missed him. turned it back on when MD coach came on..

 

[Scarlet Shack]

Love that we were picked last

Plaster the locker room and the RAC with this and keep that chip on everyone's shoulder

Lot of crow to be eaten come march

Classic look for the Guys.

 

[MV9000]

Guys look good this year. I believe Corey last year or possibly for a different big even was walking around with an untucked white shirt.

Glad hes taking the serious approach. How was the guys pressers?

 

[jellyman]

Both players did well, said all the right things, were well spoken ... and had nice softball questions from the BTN! Just the way it should be.

Strange not to see him on ESPN any longer. He was one the victims of the huge layoff in April.

He's a Wisconsin grad. He'll fit right in on BTN.

 

[BigEastPhil]

- Corey Sanders and Coach Pikiell were adamant that we will not end in last despite the preseason poll.

- And 20 game conference schedule for 18/19 is official.....yay!!!

Delany also stated that the Big 10 Tourney will be back East he reckons - just when and where needs to be determined

I love this! No where to go but up. I think we will be 8th or 9th.

 

[bac2therac]

it is not shocking that RU is picked last. Expectations should be higher and optimism abounds but I would caution everyone to slow down a bit.....its hard to win games in this league and it is hard to move up...getting to 6 league wins would be an accomplishment for this program and a realistic goal for the program and fans to shoot for

 

[RUJMM78]

Winning 5-6 league games will require a far better shooting percentage from the foul line ,make put backs around the basket and Thiam hitting at least two 3 pointers per game.In other words score around 70 points per league game instead of 60 points.My goal is for a winning season which would indicate significant improvement against league competition.

Next year the players need to upgrade their bags. Backpacks on suits is not a good look.
