Don't think anyone is laughing at the Big 10 newbie in BB any more. They ate the Illini's lunch in the second half today.

Agree, could not have happened to a nicer team

Not that it’s a surprise. They were a very good team last year and have everyone back

They are. Their coach has done a helluva job building that team, and I think they're around to stay for a while.

They should have been in the tournament last year and returned pretty much everyone.

Last year, the RAC played a big part in some of their victories. I went to the game with a buddy and we couldn’t hear each other when it got rocking in the second half. However not having any fans hasn’t hurt them so far.

There are a lot of good BB players in NJ. The closure of St Anthony's(recently) and Trenton Catholic (years ago)has hurt but those players are still there .

The demise of inner city Catholic high schools has hurt the development of players in big Eastern cities, not so much from the BB aspect but from the maturation level
