I'm guessing that most of us are going to watch all or most of the next seven games, on TV or in-person. (I'll count something like this as watching: watch first three minutes, get disgusted, stop watching, check score on line, watch last six minutes of first half and first three of second, keep checking score and box score, watch from ten minutes to six.)

The question is is why are you (we watching)?

a) It's Rutgers basketball and I can't help myself.
b) I'd like to see us play well and competively.
c) I'd like to finish out the season with three or four more wins.
d) To convince myself that we really are bad as I think.
e) To see if there's player or two who can make a jump.
f) If in person, I just love the atmosphere of college basketball.
g) I have a few players I really root for.
h) I'm a masochist.
i) SOMETHING OTHER

I'll go ahead and watch the 20 minute extended highlights on youtube, or maybe have it on in the background if I am home for a game. Only good thing is 6 of 7 are kinda winnable IMO.

Maybe good news; don't see many Maryland, Washington or (last game) PS fans showing up; and hopefully only blow-out game will be against Mich St. so maybe the other road games will be competitive. Would like to see 3 more wins; And also interested to see which players still look interested.

A and B. The previous 7 games I think everyone agreed at best we’d go 1-6. I don’t think it’s crazy to say we can go 5-2 or even 6-1 (maybe a bit crazy for 6-1). But going 5-2 would leave us at 7-13 in conference with potentially a lot of momentum going into 2026-2027. Kind of a similarly setup from 2018-2019 to 2019-2020….we obviously would need to keep the freshmen, Buchanan and Francis + bring in a big man. But it generates some buzz

Normally I would still be glued to the games with the hope to see development from the underclassman.

But the idea that most of these kids won’t even be on the team next year has my interest at very low level.

I’m not even sure I will attend any of the remaining games (I’ve been to one total home game).

I'm watching the home games (Maryland, Washington, psu) because I have season tix & already have pre-paid reservations at the Rutgers Club.
I'll watch the2/18 @ psu game hoping we can win because they are worst than us and we can help an angel get their wings
Might watch vs Minnesota unless I have something better going on at noon that Saturday
Won't watch Maryland or MSU because I'll be in the DR

my last year for MBB tix and I'm mostly checked out already
