IF Rutgers wins...

[cubuffsdoug_rivals]

4 of the next 5 games ( Michigan, Ohio State, @ Wisconsin, and Maryland) along with at least 1 BTT game, does that put them in the conversation for a 5th or 6th seed? Rutgers' NET would continue to be high. Also, based on everything going on from the B1G and other rated NET teams in the same range, points to this being possible. Where are the board experts on this?

Not an expert but...4 wins in 5 means we would be 22-9 (13-7) going into the B1G Tournament and probably a double round bye.

Then 1-1 makes us 23-10. I think we would be a 5 seed.

That would be 4 seed territory. That would put us at 23-10, with a plethora or Q1 and Q2 wins.

Does the word "IF" mean anything?:Sly:

Going 2-3 is an ‘if’ with the teams they play. Going 4-1 is legendary.

If they win 4 of 5 and win a game in the conference tournament that is a team likely ending in 2nd place in the regular season standings in the toughest and deepest conference in the country with a conference tournament semifinals appearance. That’s way beyond a 6 seed.

You nailed it

Yes...a Rutgers team that finishes 13-7/22-9...will be top four in the big ten and get a double bye. Add one win into the big ten tournament ...23-10. That feels like a 6 seed to me...just a .little short of a 5

To get 5...I think we would need to get four of five and then win two in the big ten to get to 24-10

To get a four....think we need either need to win four of five and then win the big ten tournament (25-9) or win our last five and get to the big ten finals ...25-9

To get a 3...we need to win out....26-8. I actually think if we did that...we could snare the last of the 2 seeds, depending what else goes on

I'm sitting here dying at the thought of eeking out two more wins somewhere. The schedule is brutal.

Were you one of the people who predicted Rutgers would finish with a sub .500 record?:Laughing The hardest thing for most Rutgers fans is believing the team can actually win. Too many of us believe in the "RU SCREW" more than life itself.
