Don't let yourself get bullied. Just because you are taking a realistic view of whats happened so far this year vs. folks throwing every possible reason at you as to WHY Rutgers will win. It doesn't make you (or me) less of a fan. Personally, I've got WAY more notches in my 42 year belt that I'll match up to any of em thinking they are better fans cause they pick RU first all the time.

Can they? Of course. We can beat every team in this league. Will they break thru?
"Oh, we beat em at home. Oh, we beat them there last year, oh, we're due. "
We just went 0-2 "at home to UM w/out Livers (per BTN) " ...but no worries folks. We're gonna take one on the road now cause we just lost at home. Man the HOPE never disappoints round here.

GO RU! But please stop the HOMER or GO HOME stuff folks. Take it out on the team play, Not the fans. We're showing up end season. Their turn ya know?!

The thing is this is our best season in 30+ years and the computers (not perfect but unbiased) indicate we are still more likely than not to make the tournament. If you’re not optimistic/positive at this point I don’t know when you would be. You can be a “realist” (which again you’re not even being realistic based on the projections) all you want but it sounds miserable.

And take it out on the players? Again this is literally our best team in 30 years, I love these players!

Computers also say we likely lose our final four regular season games. I don’t go by computers though. I go by what I see. I don’t see a Tourny team, but hope to God I’m wrong.

Not making chippies has zero to do with the other team being better. Their defense isn't why we shotc20% in the 2nd half, they are only better because they are UM and we shrink in the moment like this.

Has ZERO to do with shrinking. We are NOT a good shooting team from 3 or the FT line. Period. We have been winning with Defense, hustle, unselfish movement of the ball and in certain games more shots going in. But we can NOT rely on our outside shots going in (And now MJ is struggling to score as well). So it is what it is. It's been a great run that has come a bit early from my point of view but we have 4 games left and can win or lose all 4. Probably go 2-2 if I had to bet. We should still make the tourney and can win some games or lose in the first round. Enjoy this breakthrough season. Every loss is not the end of the world and we don't have to figure out what's wrong. Pike can coach offense, we can stop with that nonsense as well. Put a few of the 3 point shooters on Mich, NW or Iowa on our team and you'll see how good Pike looks on the offensive side of the court...He knows he needs shooters/scorers and a BIG...he knows.

mikemarc1, imagine a game where you roll a 10-sided die. You win if you get a 1-4, you lose if you get 5-10.

If you play once, do you expect to lose?

If you play five times, do you expect to lose all five?

Yes. I’d expect to lose one time.

wont expect to lose all 4 times..but your comparing a game of luck to a game that you have control over. I think that’s a bit different.
