SHU getting smoked by Xavier right now

[sport2231]

Early game. Still first half. 31-13. Hope this thread works as they usually do and they come back and win

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

They were due for an egg start, down 30-9 at one point. It's rough keeping that intensity every game, 11am game on a 10 game win streak.

 

[Jim_from_RU]

Shoe furiously coming back.

 

[MadRU]

Not so fast. Cut it to 12 at the half.

 

[carmenst]

Go Pirates! We need you to win.

 

[zappaa]

Isn’t it amazing how even good teams get smoked?
They may still win, but if they don’t you can bet their fan base will be up in arms, just like we are when we lose.
We’re all the same

Did Pike offer Freemantle?

From Teaneck, looks great

 

[PatrickRU92]

I know it benefits us to some degree but not rooting for them.

sorry not sorry.

I hear ya but at this point you might as well root for them until they get into the tourney. They have enough cache that unless they go on some losing streak they will still finish ahead of us. All a loss does is hurt our computer rankings at this point

Idk, did Willard?

I don't want to hear about them getting a 2 seed from their crappy little league

 

[zappaa]

SOS is that important to us at this juncture I have to root for Seton Hall?
I’ll gladly do that if it’s truly that important...is it?
Aren’t we in full control of our destiny?

 

[MadRU]

Game getting closer

We have one of the toughest skates in the nation down the stretch. I’m not rooting for Seton Hall.

 

[bac2therac]

Seton Hall winning the Big East and being a 2 seed is the best thing that can happen to RU's resume...a feather in the cap victory

 

[ColonelRutgers]

For the greater good, I’m willing to not root against Seton Hall. Making the NCAAs and also avoiding play in game is first priority for me now.

 

[Rutgers1976]

Just win, baby, and we won't have to worry about whether SHU or anybody else wins or loses.

 

[TonyLieske]

How many games does SH have to win in order to guarantee them an NIT invite?

 

[MadRU]

McKnight hurt, knee, didn’t look good.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Is this Mamu’s first game back? SHU was rolling without him.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Jones is a player

 

[MadRU]

Seton Hall loses. Powell with a subpar game. 3 of 14, 1 of 9 from 3.

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Seton Hall loses. Powell with a subpar game. 3 of 14, 1 of 9 from 3.

Bad for us.

 

[bac2therac]

Xavier is a bubble team that was headed south...huge win for them...result was bad on both counts for RU

 

[MadRU]

Xavier dominated the boards. Hall had zero second chance points.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

If we have to worry about a 3-6 team in the BE, we aren’t getting in anyway

 

[bac2therac]

I am not saying you have to worry about them...yet but with conference season only half over and teams still having 9-10 games to play alot can happen. If RU struggles and sits at 19-11 and Xavier is 20-11 with solid numbers as well it matters. Now Xavier had lost 5 of 6 coming into this game but they had solid wins over TCU, Cincy earlier. So we shall see where they head with this.

 

[MadRU]

Villanova down to Creighton by 6, at Nova. Second half, 8 minutes left.

 

[MadRU]

Down 8 now.

 

[MadRU]

Nova in trouble, down 13, six minutes left.

We’re all the same

Well then we just shouldn’t lose

 

[bac2therac]

Nova coming back late but it would be big win for Creighton and they will make a move to get into the top 25 next week

 

[MadRU]

7-0 run by Nova.

 

[MadRU]

Nova down 9, 2:45 left.

 

[MadRU]

Nova going down.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Now the Creighton win wasn’t great...despite taking down the Wright pluckers

 

[bac2therac]

Now the Creighton win wasn’t great...despite taking down the Wright pluckers

Creighton is a likley NCAA team at this point. The Big East will get 5, the question is can they get a 6th or even a 7th. Realistically I think SJU, Gtown, De paul are trash so its really Xavier fighting for that 6th.

if wasnt 29 years since our last NCAA appearance I think we all would be saying Rutgers is a likely NCAA team too but its that worry that we all will be overjoyed about getting in and dont want to count our chickens yet

We need to just win today and get one step closer to dancingray: raying:

I'm more worried about our SoS with Seton Hall Community College's loss
