Tonight is an 8/9 game - NCAA Tourney game for us! Win and advance in all likelihood to the dance or lose and we will need 1-2 nice wins in big 10 tourney next week!
Tonight is the game where legends are born! Who wants it? Cam / Cliff / Caleb / Derek / Paul / Aundre - step up and take it as the stature is awaiting each and everyone of you!

[Scangg]

2 hour countdown! Crack those beers. Break out the shot glasses. Pour yourself a scotch

 

[Degaz-RU]

Great student turnout. 2/3rds of section 110 reserved for football recruits tho.

 

[Scangg]

I like wrestling and watched some of the tournament. It's always awesome

At this point I want to see some bball pregame though

Indiana just beat Michigan, which means Rutgers is locked into the 8-9 game at noon on Thursday.

If Rutgers wins against Northwestern tonight, it will face the Wildcats again.
If Rutgers loses tonight, it will face Michigan in a game with huge NCAA Tournament implications for both sides.

Northwestern win give them the two seed

Sucks that we are playing for 8 or 9 seed. We were 8-3 at one time. Oh well let’s curb stomp NU and, if so, we get to play the again on Thursday. Go RU.

 

[NealPageNJ]

So if we win tonight we play NW in the conference tournament? Am I seeing that correct?

 

[newell138]

I hate that if we win we will play NW again on Thursday

We could actually be playing for a 2 seed if we beat MN and OSU win isn’t stolen

Agree, but need it to dance.

 

[bac2therac]

[PatrickRU92]

[ScarletteK80]

Cut all the BS already BTN, on to the game. My anxiety level is a wee bit high.

 

[Salvi's Headband]

I'm already hyperventilating

 

[Scangg]

Who cares?

Win and we are a lock. Bac been saying no but I just don't see how we can get left out looking at the bubble

 

[koko2315]

[RU89]

Agree, but need it to dance.

Yes, if we win tonight beating Northwestern 3 times in a row this season would be a hell of a daunting task

 

[ScarletteK80]

Geez Mulcahy got mugged on the dish from Cliff and then banged hard on his last layup attempt.

 

[RuBird]

Stop looking at the refs Paul and get back!

 

[fighton3233]

Refs haven’t blown the whistle once so far

 

[rucoe89]

Mulcahy doing a Woody Harrelson routine.

 

[koleszar]

Letting them play, getting clobbered and no calls.

 

[Scangg]

We can't even get shots up
