When we looked at the last 4 games prior to Maryland, the bottom line was, we go 2-2, were definately in the NCAA's, so we're still on track for that. We just have to shake off the loss and move on. The Indiana game, to me, is our season. If we win, then beat and win on against Minny or Nebraska, we're in. If we can't get up for this game, we don't deserve to be selected.
It comes down to this....
- Thread starter rutobs
- Start date
It’s not “our season” but it would be very disappointing not to get it done at home yet again. This team last year I recall blowing multiple opportunities to lock in a tourney bid - then battled back to win those last 2 games.
IMO we need to win a minimum of 2 more games this season to consider this a successful season. Winning just Nebraska (or just another game and losing that one), then losing in the first round of the BIG tourney and then proceeding to lose a play in game, a 6/11 game, or getting the worst case scenerio Royal snub would all be big disappointments.

...all comes down to this, is absolutely right.
This is exciting, nerve-racking, fun, disappointing, anxious, hopeful - all in one. The emotions are flowing and the final 2 weeks are going to be a story like few we've had here on the banks in decades.
It's all in front of us. The streak. The chance to elevate into a contender. Or the chance that it all falls miserably apart.
This team , this season .. its all still a wildcard at this point. Could be the highest of highs, or the lowest of lows.
Buckle in boys & girls. March madness is starting a few weeks earlier than we had hoped for RU basketball !!

The Indiana game is not a make or break game but it would sure be nice to win. Win it, and while I don't agree we are guaranteed in we are looking very very good. Lose and become a true bubble team with slightly over 50% of making the tournament.
This i agree with...with a loss to Indiana, Rutgers become a bubble team
Okay, let's say this, the Indiana game may not be make or break, but's let's just win this game for our freaking sanity!!!
If we limp in we could be 1 game from a 6 seed and 2 games from a 3 seed.
For those deftly afraid of being a 8 or 9 seed maybe we are opting for Plan B.
