Apologies Accepted

Tremendous game and effort last night.
Came within a shot as a 14.5 underdog of beating the Number 7 team in the country.

This is why you never give away B1G home games to the Garden.

This is why Izzo looks brilliant in avoiding the RAC as much as possible.

Am I correct in Izzo’s last three trips to the RAC, he has two losses and an overtime win, which really should have been a loss?

What is this loser mentality? As a program we should be well past the point of being happy about close losses. It was fun to be a scrappy underdog in 2018, not now. And I can't even call this team scrappy. So many plays not chasing a rebound or going for a loose ball...

I have no issue with playing one game at MSG each year, as long as it isn't a conference game. If you want to put us in a double header against a Big East opponent like St. Johns or UConn, go for it.

If a Big 10 team wants to play us in the garden, let it be their home game, not ours. Otherwise, like you say, we're giving away an advantage we can't afford to lose.

We should change logo to the Colts logo

The whole arrangement was that we alternated giving up a home game and an away game to play at the Garden each year, right?

1 Home + 1 Away = 2 Semi-Home feels like a good deal to me

Nice in theory but hasn’t happened in practice at all. We’ve gotten the short end of the stick.
Play a non conference game if you must but never ever give away home games.

Rutgers fans and players love games at Madison Square Garden

Rutgers should play one meaningful game there each season. Because Pike's non-B1G scheduling is Las Vegas and cupcakes at the RAC, a B1G game at MSG is the best option. Pike won't agree to play St. John's and UConn anywhere.

St. John's plays most of its home games off campus at MSG and is ranked #24.

UConn plays half of its home games at an arena in Hartford, 27 miles away from its on-campus arena. UConn is ranked #2.

Rutgers won't become a better basketball team by avoiding playing at MSG.

Playing at MSG is also a nice recruiting perk

I think we win this game at the garden

We play St John's or UConn and we will.be the lesser of fans.

This. I cannot stand it anymore at this school. Lots of patting on the back because we almost beat MSU who completely slept walked through the game for 30 minutes.

Hey! We almost beat the worst Penn State football team in 15 years, who had an interim head coach in November too!

I honestly have no idea as to the reactions to you post. Watching the game last night I thought to myself SUCK IT Izzo. Welcome to OUR home court. Your facts speak for themselves. I didn't take your post as being happy we almost won but to the effect of playing at our home court. Some weird and of point replies.

 

[G- RUnit]

Never give away the home court for a home conference game.

Never especially give it away for the MSU game.

How many years did Izzo get away without playing before a RAC crowd? 6???

 

[bac2therac]

So did the Big 10 give up on having a conference game a year at MSG. I dont see 1 this year

 

[G- RUnit]

Have to laugh. We still haven’t made up that MSU game at the Garden. Shaking my head. Most fans don’t realize.

Also kills me that one or two point loss to Wiscy at the Garden. We win that going away at the RAC.

Miss your game reviews BAC! Although DeGaz does very well.

When does your tourney stuff start?

Ever think of doing a tourney prediction once bids are out?

Be Well!!

They are tough to arrange. The Garden only wants high profile matchups and has very limited slots available with all the other games and events they have going on.

 

[G- RUnit]

MSG seems to have no problem giving Rutgers the highly coveted 12 noon slot.

They choked down the stretch and you're wanting a moral victory lap?????

This attitude is why you always played so well. Thanks.

Just another loss.. participation trophies are for losers.

 

[rpiseman]

It doesn’t matter where we play…we just have to get better
