Are we in?

But six quad 1 wins does especially when all 6 wins were against top 25 wins.
so what weighs more? That is the question.
had we not laid an egg today Id be feeling much better
No, but you are ONLY looking at the metrics and not the total picture as well. The eye test, the 4 straight quad 1 wins against top 25 teams, Geo did not play in their lost games in November. If one looks at the totality of the season, this IS an NCAA team.
I would have felt better too, but losing to a top 25 team is not such a disaster. If you and others look at the totality of our resume, we ARE an NCAA team.
Getting it to 10 points was good lol.
Lost today by free throws and in my opinion a little biased whistle.
Oh and another thing: if you look at the other bubble teams, all of them have a ton of flaws as well.
Yes but we will be sweating bullets on Sunday until we see our name called. I would not bet my house on it.
We didn’t lay an egg today. We lost to a team that may likely win the B1G tournament.
I say that we will be in.
Politi just asked McCaffrey if he thinks Rutgers should be in. McCaffrey basically called it a stupid question and said of course Rutgers should be in.
Say what you want about McCaffrey but anyone who thinks Politi is an ******* is good in my book.

Jerry Palm probably just moved us to a 3 seed in the NIT
It was a good question because McCafferty response has relevance if NCAA Selection Committe members were watching.Rutgers is a bubble team because of the NET rankng and the only way they get a bid is bye looking at the totalty of the record .
8 wins against tourney teams. Has to count for something..
I think we deserve to be in but I will be sweating. Even if we are a # 12 in Dayton I will be very happy.

Show me other bubble teams that have those types of notches on their belt. Those wins are not a fluke. One bad game before Thanksgiving cannot offset that list of wins. Or shouldn’t. If you were putting a basketball tournament together wouldn’t you want a team like that in there versus some team with a similar record that hasn’t proven that they could compete at the highest level but just compiled all of their wins against medicore competition?

Yup. If it is Dayton, I don’t want to see anyone on this board thumbing their noses at it.
We are in. Everyone said if we beat Indiana and Penn State, we were in. Today didn’t hurt us. It’s just the metric geeks harping on metrics and causing doubt. We all know the metrics is a negative, but any other seeds in our neighborhood have problems in their resume as well
