Wednesday was Big East men’s basketball Media Day at Madison Square Garden and the league’s sixteen coaches picked Rutgers to finish 15th this coming season…only ahead of DePaul. Keeping in mind that the Scarlet Knights were picked to finish 12th last season and the nagging question in my mind is “Where’s the perceived progress?” It’s only a prediction…but it speaks to the collective mindset of the Big East coaches and where they feel Fred Hill’s program is heading into his fourth season.

This even surprised me. I thought ZRU would be 13th ahead of USF and DePaul. When you see coaches keing Stan Heath and USF over RU you know what the perception is. So I am assuming getting picked this low means that you may have 2-3 wins in the BE this year. Combined with the OOC that means around 13-14 wins. Uggggh.
