Great win, hope the team can hit their stride from here on out. But not sure a single home court win against a struggling team means people were previously overreacting

Hope the move to a shorter rotation continues to pay off though — nice for the group to get a little confidence back

A gutted program doesn’t sell out on a Monday night and beat a legendary ucla program.

I’m not saying this win gets us back to contention, I’m saying our program is fine after a large part of this forum rendered it dead 3 days ago.

Go RU

You’re criticizing fans for over reacting over a large body of work this season but go on to conclude our program is “fine” after beating a mediocre UCLA team at home lol.

I’m enjoying the win tonight and will still support the program but fans have had a lot of reasons to be unhappy or worried so far through mid January.

I think..many on here. Confuse program and team. A “gutted” program as many claimed we are 3 days ago..doesn’t sell out on a Monday - doesn’t get the love a legendary bill raftery gave it today. Program is absolutely fine. Team?? We’ll see the next few games.

Great win tonight despite another slow start. Better D. But let’s not kid ourselevs here. UCLA struggling big time. If we win the next two on the road, you have my attention.
Exactly this

You get the two road games you suddenly have ALOT of juice going into MSG against Sparty

If we get these next two that place will be ELECTRIC

He's trolling.
The usual guy who comes on board after another team has a bad loss or some unique thing to justify a crappy RU performance.
In this case it was the positive how dare you.

We have every home game “sold out” regardless of whether the seats are filled

99.9% of tickets were sold via season tix

I don’t like calling out fans after a happy win.
Just don’t see the need mike

Yet you called me out? All good….

Not really calling out fans but a “mindset”…the mindset our program is dead..or died on Thursday. Is ridiculous. This game I think was evidence of that

Bro the season was sold out before it started.

You’re making some stupid points and trying to stir up crap.

Let’s just enjoy the win.

This was a must-win for this season. Now we have something to build on going to Nebraska. They will be out for blood after losing two straight on the road, one in humbling fashion. Gotta be ready from the opening tip on Thursday!

The overreaction over last game was insane. Lots of you saying our program was over…

Finally healthy and can hopefully make a nice run, let’s see.
while I agree with the idea of positivity.. and showed itbin posts.. you have to admit the math look bleak. The team dug a nice hole.. if they get out of it and into the NCAAs it will make for quite the cinderella story.. where Cinderella became the Beast

again..you’re talking about the team. My post is about the “program” which was rendered dead by many on Thursday. There’s a difference between the two - but tonight’s game at the RAC put to rest, in my opinion, the program is dead.

The team? Sure, we’ll see where they are at in the next few games.
