It is looking like we are choking this season away, but a win Tuesday night will be a big win and a “choke hold”. It might even stop the choking. Just win and make the tournament . Get the hold and beat Maryland. Choke hold! Beat Maryland

I'm just saying... you couldn't have posted this in one of the other hundred threads on this topic?

Was there a topic specific to Tuesday night and to get the choke hold then ? From what I see most fans don’t want to acknowledge the choke and inevitable collapse. I didn’t see a thread about Tuesday night and staving off the massive choke we are in the midst of . If there is, I apologize and should have posted there .

Easy way to fix that is to start winning again . Stop the “collapses” and “chokes”.
Agree ?

Why keep talking about our team choking the rest of the season?

Aren’t other RU fans watching the same games as you? Don’t they realize what’s going on like you?

I’ve been uncomfortable with all the threads about possible RU tournament seedlings. It’s all based on Wins and losses.

We just need to win one at a time. The next ones are key. That’s my focus. How do we get a W in the remaining games? The rest is secondary.

No, most fans have had us as an ncaa lock since early February . They aren’t acknowledging the choke that is happening

I know we have been looking - however I don't consider it choking. Last 6 games we had arguably the toughest schedule in Big if not country.

It’s not a choke yet . But it will be if we don’t make the tournament

P.S. there is nothing currently happening

there are games in the past and games in the future. They have lost three in a row but they are not currently losing

Pike has done a great job with this program. However, he needs to mix it up a little. How about a matchup zone here & there?We have good length. Teams have figured us out so we need some adjustments. Forget the scripted rotations in the second half. Go with the hot hand all the way.

We didn’t just get a hold! It was very impressive . I think we are locked into Dayton at the very least

Going 2-8 in regular season last 10 would have been a major disappointment ... not necessary a choke with the level of competition. UMD makes it at worst 3-7. Was I prepared for and expected a loss? Sadly, yes. But very happy RU beat UMD to get that first win against them. Think it’s down to UM and MSU as teams RU hasn’t beaten yet.

Really want RU to beat Purdue on the road to get to 20 wins and not be an 11-seed. Lots of things need to go wrong and one did with PU beating Iowa in the road. I realize Purdue is tough at home. Preparing for and expecting a close loss. Hope to be wrong.

This team plays hard. Awesome to see no blowouts on the final scoreboard. Lots of hope! I do see a win in B1G tourney to make the NCAA! But let’s go RU and beat PU to eliminate one more argument against RU.
