This team is definitely on the rise. The head coach hire was a great one by Hobbs.

Wingert is a freshman phenom ! Leading the Big10 in HRs as a True Freshman !

Any clue what the RPI for the team is? I think they could legit compete for a NCAA Tourney spot as early as next year at this rate.

Last year 6 Big10 teams made the NCAA tournament. This team is currently in 6th and depending how they finish out the regular season and do in the tournament, they could make the NCAA tournament THIS YEAR !

RU is #83 in RPI as of last weekend. That will most definitely go up after sweeping the Terps. Make some noise in the B1G Tourney and it's very possible the team gets an at large.
