Katz - Rutgers IN with IL win

[RutgersClassof2004]

No further discussion. *** wipes saying we needed to win 4 OF LAST 6 to get a bid. Absolute insanity. Shut your traps. It's done.

 

[Danprusa_4]

I agree and disagree still think we need one more road win

Katz IS college basketball. It's done.

No time for morons and losers: F'em!

Can’t lose 5 straight, but top half of the B1G and you’re in.

 

[RUKen]

If we go 0-5 in next 5 games and lose in first round of Big tournament Andy will be singing a different tune. Win a few more to end the debate. Let’s go 3-4 or better. I prefer better

12-8 in the big ten regular season will lock them into the tourney. With this win, I think 11-9 will do it too. Great win. Just keep winning. This team needs a good seed and I think they can make some noise!

 

[RUDave_01]

We are in, as of 11 pm on Feb. 16th. The only reason not to think so is if you are computer with a crappy algorithm.

I believe another 2 wins between now and the end of the Big Ten Tournament is what is needed to end the year with enough overall wins along with a winning conference record. Right now, let's enjoy the ride.

Actually, Paul Mulcahy said it best on his post game interview. No one is IN now, it's not March yet.

Meanwhile, UNC loses at home against Pitt. That's a quad 4 loss and 0-7 in quad 1.

That was a great moment, gotta stay HUNGRY until the B1G tournament is over. Then get HUNGRY again!

RU needs two more wins, they cannot go 0-6 and still make it, RU is in as of today but they were in before this game IMO

 

[SirPerceval]

Keep plugging - lose 4 of 5 and things will change - Purdue up next.

Exactly. When Katz says we're "in" now, he means if the season were over right now and he even said a few minutes ago that RU (or any team) could lose their last 5 or 6, but that's clearly not what anyone would expect from a team that just dominated 3 of 4 ranked teams (and won the 4th in a nice comeback). 12 B1G wins is the magic number, but I want at least 14 and a shot at the title.

 

[GORU2014]

We should be in, but we’re not in yet. Need more wins.

 

[FrankZ_RU93]

Katz = King

 

[Scangg]

Andy Katz acts like he has a million dollar bet on Rutgers making the tournament. It's amazing

That is not what he said. He said as of today we would be in. Still much more basketball to be played. One game at a time......

Best of Luck,

Love the emphatic way he says ME

Katz really should get a ton of credit. He was talking about Rutgers going to the tournament before pretty much anyone. The MSU game he was talking about it!

 

[sunsetregret]

They need to get to 19 wins. There's no way we could lose out and still get a bid.

 

[RUaMoose_rivals]

Why is their RPI so low ? I checked a few days back and it was like #92 behind schools like Towson St.. Seems ridiculously low for a team with a good number of quality wins. Last time I paid attention to CBB you needed an RPI in the 60s or better to have a chance at the tourney. Maybe that's changed.

 

[kcg88]

12-8, 12-8, 12-8

 

[RuSnp]

Very poor drawing of a bus.

Road win?!? No. If we beat PSU and Wisky, it shouldn’t even be a question. No one will have that type of resume.

 

[Knights 1212]

I am just enjoying the ride but I feel we are not in yet. Andy Katz is by far our biggest supporter. It is just so good seeing our guys feeling so happy and that we are becoming a huge story in college basketball.

 

[ScarletDave]

People don’t realize that by simply playing Purdue, Michigan, Wisconsin, our NET will go up as long as we don’t get blown out. Win PSU and either indiana or Michigan or Wisconsin, and we’re in

 

[bigmatt718]

Hell just beating Purdue at Mackey puts us real close to a lock. I think we find 3 more wins between now and the B1G Tourney though.

 

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

Meanwhile, UNC loses at home against Pitt. That's a quad 4 loss and 0-7 in quad 1.

Did their NET get better, I’m sure it did if they were “efficient” in their loss.

 

[yellowlot]

Roll the balls out...and let's play the next one.

UNC dropped to 45 from 37.

 

[bitnez]

Well the only way OP will ever be proven right is if we lose every remaining game, which no one thinks is the case. But, hey, take a victory lap if you want. Haha.

 

[Colonel HR]

It's clearly not done yet...and Katz said as much.

 

[RUPete]

Yup- totally dismissed the question and I'm glad he did. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole team is thinking that way.
