I know. But I watched Houston completely shut him down. I think we would have too. Right now Houston is demolishing Oregon State so far by 14 early in the 2nd half. If they go on to win and get to the Final Four, we will have been their toughest opponent to get there.

What the heck are you talking about ? You know the reason we lost is because we choked
BAC thinks we posters need to get a clue? Really Bac? We lost by 3 freakin' points! Myles missed two easy dunks, and that caused the ball to go back to them without us getting back on defense and that became an 8 point swing.
My god, Some of you here are so damn negative about our team. Our team, remember, OUR TEAM, played their hearts out and NO BAC, the better team did NOT win. I guess you wouldn't know that because you never played organized ball in your life.

Houston won the game period, suck it up people, guess what teams lose in the tournament all the time. Houston made the plays and Rutgers choked. Better team won
what wild thinking some here have that this should be us playing tonight, well im sure 60 other schools are saying that too including Michigan State

it was, we choked and Houston won, if we were the better team we wouldnt have blown a 9 point lead with 5 minutes making a shitload of mistakes that were very reminiscent of some other games, better team does not dribble the ball off the leg, does not miss the dunk, does not take inexplicably shots, does not stop running an offense, does not dribble for 30 seconds and turn it over, doesnt play horrific defense fouling every play including the difference maker which gave Houston the lead.
We were the better team that day
I agree with most of that . It would make it easier if we just lost and didn’t choke
Regardless of what anyone says, I will always say we woulda made the final 4 this year had Myles not back rimmed that alley oop
Oh I was saying it all year long drives me up a wall when he doesn’t call timeouts as leads evaporate lol!
No one in the tournament played Houston tougher than Rutgers. And they are a final four team.
Anyone notice Houston slowed it down at the end? They even had a shot clock violation. I guess all of these coaches suck and we’re all experts. Same with Football. So many guys wasting time posting on message boards when we can make $$$ coaching.
agreed, but we had an easy dunk if we just did a regular pass and not a lob pass.
Any one of THREE Myles plays probably win that game...
ally-oop
bunny put back
a simple defensive rebound on the missed 3 with a minute left.
Hate to pick on Myles but man he did not have a good end game.
The missed throw off the guy two inches away out of bounds is the one that’s bothered me the most.
Frank, expound on this. I'm not sure what you're talking about and I watched the game start to finish.
my version of a hot take: Houston is the worst final four team in the past 10 years. Baylor will crush them.
what happened to OSU is what happened to us.

He was fouled on that put back , no call, but tbh we couldn't count on him hitting the FTs. The missed alley- oop dunk was the killer. Not a perfect lob by Geo but good enough.
He looked like he was probably fouled on that rebound attempt too...the Houston dude came flying in and bumped into him while he had position. oh well
shouldn't have even come to that. Just grab the board...it came right to him! Literally hit him in the hands. Might have been fouled, honestly.
Refs hosed us, 1 or 2 correct calls in the last 4 mins and we may have survived all our bungles.
Houston may lose, but teams that play defense and rebound like the Cougars rarely get crushed.
This^^^ You guys are totally missing the big picture, the game was obviously fixed, the people in power in the NCAA will simply never allow Rutgers to fulfill its destiny to be the dominant program in both men's basketball and football.
And yet we have ******** on this board who were calling Pike to be fired a few weeks prior to our first appearance in the NCAA’s in 30 years! Complete and utter aholes.
