Rutgers resume is scandalous and I have been saying it from early February. For the kind of season we have had, its totally appropriate to make us wait until that last 6/11 rolls shows up on the screen which will be the very last shot. Though I believe the play in games will likely to be 12 seeded games this year, that could change

Dave Revsine had a great line this afternoon. He said we talk about Lafayette here on BTN more than some B1G schools...lol


heard that too...every single guy who has said something about RU either talked about Lafayette or 77 net and none of them listed the rutgers wins, 4 of which are to top half q1 wins which many schools locked in for weeks do not even have

If we don’t get in, Lafayette will be the best one word description of our season.

B10 teams are not supposed to lose to Lafayette, a school of some 2500 students. When you do, the consequences linger and than linger some more.

If a loss in November keeps you out after 12 big ten conference wins, 5 of them being ranked, then what the **** is the point of playing the rest of the season.
It's absurd. That's why it won't happen.

If these bubble teams are grouped you can't relentlessly be picking all of them over Rutgers. The rest of these weak but considered teams will split votes while enough reasonable people will be choosing Rutgers to have us advance... according to the system as bac explained IMO

#1 teams in the nation with 7-4 2 time defending national players of the year aren’t supposed to lose to NAIA Chiaminade but sometimes they do and still get a #1 seed in a 52 team NCAA Tournament.

One 2 point loss on November 22 with your senior leader injured down the stretch should not kill your season. If there were no mysterious mathematical calculations to look at and everyone just looked at the results, who we played, and how we looked, this wouldn’t even be a debate.

It’s not just that game, man. Geo didn’t play at UMass either. Or in the SHU game where we couldn’t take care of the BB.

One thing is certain... Rutgers will be the most spoken about bubble team in the country from now until the brackets are released.

Everyone has an opinion about our resume.
Spot on comments.The good and bad are there to be seen and its up to the NCAA Selection Committee to decide Rutgers fate.
