Through the first two months of the college basketball season, in many ways the overriding storyline has been one of parity. The balance that exists in the sport.
That was the annual passing of the college athletics torch, switching from football to basketball. And five days later, college basketball showed how different from football it is.
North Carolina, coming off a trip to the national championship game and with four starters back, was expected to be elite. But it has yet to find its form. The same could be said for underwhelming five-loss Duke, which fell to Clemson on Saturday. Kentucky wouldn’t make the NCAA Tournament if the season ended today, despite Saturday’s rousing win at No. 5 Tennessee.
Rutgers’ current team is an interesting mix: top-50 big man Cliff Omoruyi and three-star guards Paul Mulcahy, Cam Spencer and Caleb McConnell. It is only a half-game behind Purdue at the top of the Big Ten, looking like a certain tournament team for the third straight season, which would be a first for Rutgers. Recruits, it seems, are taking notice as Pikiell takes this program to new heights. He’s already accomplished more than was reasonably expected.
