Maryland hit 3 with 1.9 left

[bac2therac]

wow

 

[bac2therac]

good for RU...they got MSU next before RU...do we really want them coming into the game on a 3 game losing streak

 

[RU848789]

Holy crap, what a shot. Onions. Was their first lead since early in the game - and it came after MN missed the front end of a 1:1 with about 12 seconds left.

 

[RUby RED]

Well nice to know someone else in the Big Ten had an even rougher night than us. Tough pill to swallow for Minny

 

[bac2therac]

oh Ricky, that is it for your team

Have to win Big 10 tourney now

 

[bac2therac]

players making shots...and it wasnt Cowan so its not their first or 2nd option..only 8 seconds to do it

 

[gordel1]

That was 10X worse of a loss than RU. Had the lead the whole night, at home, missed FT’s, a 3 that rims in. That’s as tough as it gets.

 

[loki_dog]

Minny needs to make those foul shots. Just make one of those 3 opportunities and it's game over.

no it wasn't. They haven't waited 29 years.

We need Maryland to beat MSU. If they do, they clinch the title. They will come into Pway without a ton to play for other than pride. A huge motivator for a great team like them but still. We don't want them coming in needing to win that game.

HUGE! The Minnesota loss helps RU's chances of not playing Wednesday night in Indy.

 

[S_Janowski]

So Minny and Purdue are pretty much out of tournament contention unless they make a run in the BIG10 tourney.

That leaves 10 teams in the BIG10 in serious contention. BIG will get 9 teams...Rutgers will be the deciding factor on getting 10 in. Need to win 1 of these last 2.

Thought Pitino did a horrible coaching job. Seem like they were playing not to lose the last 7 minutes.

if Purdue wins vs Indy, at Iowa, vs RU, at 17-14 I think they are back in if they win one in the B10 tourney...18-15, they would likely finish at least 10th in this scenerio

 

[bac2therac]

at Katz said, there is always a championship moment and this was probably it...best case scenerio is they wrap it up by beat MSU and then come in sleeping to the RAC..they have 3 games in 7 days...thats tough

yeah they would have to win their last 3, tough to win at Wisky, I think if they lose Saturday it will guarantee that RU finishes no worse than 11th

they will be playing for a 2 or who knows a 1 seed but yes this really plays into RUs favor if they wrap it up

 

[RU-ROCS]

They had th good sense to only fall behind by 17 points (14 points in 2nd half) — not 21 points like RU!

Was definitely pulling for Maryland. We need to avoid Wednesday night and that gives them (Minn) 10 losses.

 

[RUonBrain]

I wonder if anyone watching in Minnesota punched a hole in their TV?

@RU MAN

 

[JavaDunk18]

Also makes a home win vs Maryland look very good - as good as any win on the road..
Maybe 10/7 matchup w Iowa in BTT..
Purdue plays hot/cold at home, so maybe we get them at the right time..
The way they are building up this Maryland comeback on BTN, if we had pulled it out, it would have been much more dramatic. Underdog on road from 21 down, to perhaps seal up first NCAA bid in 29 years..
It’s not over yet..

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Wow

Minnesota has talent, but.....
