    Can Rutgers return to NCAA Tournament this winter? 5 thoughts on 2026-27 roster as summer workouts start

    Based on the glee in which Fronseca says negative things about Rutgers sports, I wouldn’t spend a dime to read his coverage about Rutgers.

    Basketball Ron & Dylan Harper / Ace Bailey - NBA Thread

    Sadly Harper did battle injuries for a good part of the year. However, players we were counting on especially to hit 3s severely underperformed.

    OT: Thank you Jalen Brunson …check out this collection of BAD takes !

    I don’t see Rutgers having the overall team talent in the Big ten comparable to the talent the Knicks have in the NBA, but otherwise a lot of parallels between Brunson and Tariq Francis.

    Big Ten Basketball: Grades and recap of Rutgers 2026 offseason moves

    This recap of the comings and goings and the grades given suggests to me that Rutgers has a good chance to finish ahead of Penn State, Northwestern, Oregon and Minnesota. Maryland also improved less than Rutgers, but if healthy is probably ahead of Rutgers. However, many preseason predictions...

    OT: The Knicks are

    They say that the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog, but they were out of their minds having Fox play more than Harper. Fox was not surprisingly 3 of 15 and 2 of 8 from 3. Harper was 10 of 19 and 2 of 4 from 3., although like the rest of the Spurs he didn’t play as well in the 4th...

    OT: The Knicks are

    If the Spurs could have won it based on how they played in the first quarter they would be NBA champions. Huge game by Brunson and the Knicks owned the Spurs in the fourth quarter. Much like a Rutgers, Dylan Harper played very well, but didn’t have enough support from the rest of the team.

    Basketball Ron & Dylan Harper / Ace Bailey - NBA Thread

    Great game by Harper. Best Spurs player on the court. An absolutely amazing game by Brunson who was clearly the best player on the court.

    OT: News 4 San Antonio live TV.

    In a large city there will always be a certain number of people who do despicable things. Some might even be sports fans, but mostly they should just be thought of as hooligans or thugs and treated as such. This is becoming a bigger and bigger problem because of the failure to support the...

    Basketball CBS Sports reveals way-too-early Big Ten predictions for 2026-27

    Andy Katz has Rutgers even lower at 17th. They will need to over perform to get a much better record even though on paper it seems clear that the team is much improved.

    Refs and Knicks

    It seems especially true with the flagrant fouls where the refs find a reason they call them on the Knicks but not the Spurs.

    OT: The Knicks are

    I haven’t seen the Knicks have a more improbable comeback since Phil Jackson guarding the inbounds jumping around like a crazy man caused 4 straight turnovers allowing the Knicks to come back from 10 points down with 10 seconds left to win it in regulation around 50 years ago. This was before...

    Basketball Ron & Dylan Harper / Ace Bailey - NBA Thread

    Glad I had friends over to watch the game or I would have gone to bed and missed the greatest comeback in NBA finals history. Dylan Harper played well, but it wasn’t enough. Losing was a real team effort, much like it was when Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey played for Rutgers surrounded by a team...

    Guess the rotation

    Great comparison, but the NCAA is worse than that. Take the one year JC didn’t count against eligibility, but the next year it does, The NCAA is hurting athletes with absurd and contradictory decisions.

    Which returning player will be most improved in 2026-2027?

    What you suggest could certainly be true and it’s possible that like Richie said, the only reason they kept him was because he cost so little NIL. However, two years ago, a TKR podcast described him as a solid 3 star player who was mobile, athletic and bouncy. From what we both saw the little...

    Christian Gurdak has landed

    As long as he scores, rebounds, defends and plays with energy. He’s not a shot blocker, but based on his freshman year, he is a good solid player fans can get behind!
