Any silver lining to losing last night?

Silver lining is the way the other Big Tens are losing
We were a couple of bad bounces away from defeating a now likely Final 4 team
Need Houston to win handily next 2 games
Maybe this kind of loss motivates players to stay, and
top prospects to transfer in..
Was important we got that solid win in first round
Since this team plays more of a defensive system, do not think we will lose much, if any ground next year..
with the way other teams are graduating & changing coaches, why not a top 5 finish in Big Ten next year?!

The silver lining is we are a good team. We lost exactly where we should have lost. We were a top 32 team in the country all year. It only sucks because of what could have been. Wait until Syracuse loses by 30 and we will feel even worse.

Nope....as another poster just mentioned losing a game is one thing. Losing a game in the manner we did is inexcusable. Rutgers fans need to stop with it’s ok and pretend there is a silver lining with a close loss. We had the #2 seed in the bracket beaten , dead gone, finished. Somehow we gave this one away. It was a game which would have elevated us on the college MBB map and exponentially raised our recruiting profile. Other than that it was a good season especially with all the restrictive properties the team dealt with from covid19.

The only silver lining would be Geo, MJ AMS RHJ deciding to come back and finish what they started.
Then how many openings will we have left, That will possibly create disaster for the next year.
Losing too many players at once. It will not bother me if not all 4 were staying.
