Rutgers Gets First Four - #11 Seed

[RUBlackout]

Who will def our games? Bo?

 

[njrexguy]

They are Michigan. They naturally get a pass.

We r Rutgers. No easy path for us. Never has been and never will be.

Not looking forward to playing them. Refs will give them every chance to beat us.

Yet, I think we are very lucky to have gotten in

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Any thoughts on tickets?

 

[dvb91]

Agreed. That Michigan seeding is just bizarre. I would not be surprised if they get beaten handily.

Yeah, figure Indiana would've pipped them for that spot, but maybe it was to avoid 3 B1G play-in teams. RU got punished for its NET.

Appreciate that the hosts had no qualms with the First 4. Only issue was ND vs Xavier.

 

[khael-hawk]

Gratz guys. Never a doubt! Let's meet up again in Nawlins!

 

[RUbacker]

Bring it on

Well we proved we can beat the best teams in the country , it’s not about that. It’s about which RU team shows up and what is toll of extra game

wait...this guy is a 'Cuse fan?

lets think about this.....

there are literally thousands of Syracuse fans. yet you, and only you, come on a RUTGERS message board to troll right now.

you do realize that makes you quite unique.

and, believe me, not in a good way.

its a really, really, pathetic way to spend your time.

 

[BoogieKnight]

Weird. Haven’t seen Syracuse announced yet. Are they in danger of not making the tournament?

They will be in the Empire Classic.

Sounds like the future football score next time we vs u guys. And we all know who’ll have 41

I would think ND will draw a bunch of people to Dayton.

They will. They travel very well I’ll give them that

It's less than 4 hours by car from South Bend to Dayton... Our fans will probably be heavily outnumbered.

But maybe the biggest benefit of all of this is that our fans and players may be able to get an invaluable autograph and a selfie with Peter Kiss while in Dayton. (smile)

 

[SantaFeScarlet]

Honestly feel like the first four is still a slap in the face.

It's like eating at the kids table during Thanksgiving when all the adults are at the big table. BUT.... Just win baby!!!!

 

[RUTrack94]

Can't complain - first 4 is a good chance to win a game.

Chance to get 20+ wins

Didn’t hurt Iowa

 

[RU Mike73]

I get that we're "in" the tourney, but we're still a step behind everyone else being required to play an extra game. Feels hollow and like I said, a slap in the face.

Also just hate how the play-in ("first four") is set up for an 11 seed - just make it all the 16s.

Would you rather win the play in and then get a #1. As an 11 we get a #6 with a win.

 

[T2Kplus20]

Will take it

+1
Consequences of those early garbage loses. But in is in and that's something to celebrate.

 

[Knights 1212]

I am so glad we made the NCAA whether it is the play in game or not. I am concerned that Notre Dame is very close to Dayton and probably will have many more fans there but I think it is a good match up for us. We must win this one before we think about Alabama. One game at a time.

 

[RU05]

Syracuse fan can’t wait to come here to post lol

Did Cuse make it?

 

[goru7]

Congrats guys! Nice of them to announce your region first and not make you suffer lol.

I think you smoke ND and probably beat 'Bama. Tech will be tough though.

Amazing they shipped both of us to San Diego making us stop on the way. We were in as a solid 11 without play in and Va. Tech and Richmond winning moved us to play in

 

[RU05]

But if Davidson won, where would they have slotted in? Would they not have been above us?

Also wonder if Va tech didn't earn a spot just by making it to the conf finals.

You're missing the point.
It should be teams 60-68.

Rutgers wouldn't be in the play-in if it was the 8 worst teams deciding the 16 seeds.
Rutgers was ranked 47th (I believe).

I'd like to think our fan bases would root for each other out there, but I should probably know better.

How much is Kiss getting for autographed rolling papers?

Haha good question

Expect a free throw disparity, ala Iowa.

Why does it matter how far South Bend is from Dayton ? Current students are there, but it’s a very small town and Indianans are more often fans of PU and IU because that where kids go. ND Alums are all over the country.

ND is a good free throw shooting team but they don't have nearly the athleticism of Iowa and are 263rd in free throw rate. This is a team that plays it very safe on both sides of the ball and relies on their efficient shooting.

Of course it matters. Don’t you think our current students would be packing into their cars after class on Wed for this game if it was a 3 hour drive vs. almost a 9 hour drive?

At least Dayton happens to be Caleb’s home town so hopefully he will draw a decent crowd from his high school.

students sure, but the vast majority of ND alums and other fans aren’t any closer than RU fans.
