Michigan is talented. They haven't played as well as their talent. But their skilled all over the floor. Not really even a surprising loss. Think we get them at home - geo & harper better be ready

We are probably going to the NCAA’s this year. Embarrassing is many things but not this team. Some act like we have been here before. We have not finished 500 for 500 years. Enjoy the ride and hope we get some offensive linemen.

With 3 mins to go Michigan was shooting 54% 3 and 50% FG, RU was 34% and 32%. And somehow it was a 2 point game with 15 secs left. Too bad

We needed 1 of 2 of the road games, we come back and beat Maryland and this "embarassing" loss is gone. What team goes unbeaten? Stop calling a 6 pt loss embarassing to a team that is capable of handing Gonzaga their only loss this year. Stop embarrassing yourself.

Stop OP. We played not our best but it was close. Our guys didn't have their best game outside of Mathis and we lost not by much.

We have to focus on MD now. Let's go RU!

Embarrassing? That’s a bit dramatic. It was a 1 possession game. One more stop, call or made shot and Its a W. Simpson is a great PG and dominated. They need to find an answer for him next game.

We're not going to win every game, especially away from the RAC. If you have that impression, you're deluded.

it wasnt embarrassing but that was a D effort on offense and the defense did not show up until the final 10 minutes of the game

RU should have won this game, has nothing to do with being close, its a disappointing loss because of the way we played and this game was beyond winnable

Rutgers is a solid team. They don't have the talent to be great offensively, but they are very tough on defense and contest passes and shots all over the floor. Today their only consistent offense was off live ball turnovers, which they forced a good amount of, but that same aggression also gave up a lot of easy looks when the pressure was beaten.

Solid team and I think they are solidly a tournament team at this point.

They shot 50% from floor and 50% from 3 and we shot 33% and 25%. We shot 30 more shots then them. We were just bad shooting today and still took it to wire.

We’ve had no embarrassing games except for maybe st. B.

We need fans with realistic expectations.

Sometimes you just get beat.

It all came down to the pick and roll plays that we did a terrible job on. They got so many easy baskets to build the lead.

Rotations were bad, either a dunk/layup or open three.

Played about as bad as we have since Bonnies and still were in it at the end.

Not embarrassing. Disappointing, I would say. I still can't believe we took 30 plus more shots than M and lost. Nonetheless, this year's team is a huge improvement over what RU fans have been seeing for years. It's good to be once again excited by RU hoops and watch a competitive team with a chance to win just about any game.

This loss hurts. We lost to an unranked team at home.
Maybe we are not that good.

Now reality sets in. This team will be pummeled at Maryland. Not sure how the psyche holds up after that. They’ll beat Northwestern and then win yet another game at the RAC they have no business winning for a final record of 18-13.

Maryland’s offense can be inept like ours at times. I think it’s going to be another close game.
