As of this writing, the first and second round of the NCAA Tournament, as well as the play-in games, were supposed to be in the books.
Rutgers, which had not made the “big dance” in 29 years, was expected to land inside the tournament after a 20-11, 11-9 Big Ten regular season.

Head coach Steve Pikiell said his guys were “crushed” and that everybody was disappointed.
