The only current negative on the resume

[bac2therac]

Rutgers is the only school in the NET top 65 without multiple road/neutral wins: 1-4 road, 0-1 neutral

Arizona has no road wins but 3 neutral site wins.

Need one more and maybe one at the Big 10 tourney....having 2 more would quell any dissenters and remove any red flags should Rutgers find themselves on the bubble.

Like I said I will trade a win at the RAC vs Michigan vs a win on the road at Penn State

Its just something we need down the stretch to complete the resume and acheive our goals

win on Sat, and this becomes much less of an issue...checks the box for away game AND gets us closer to 19 wins...

but yes, would be awesome to get a couple of road wins down the stretch...no doubt

 

[bac2therac]

and RU can go 4-0 at the RAC, 0-6 on the road and make it into the NCAA at 20-11/11-9 but they would have a 1-10 road mark that detractors can immediately circle.

Just want to get this road win sooner than later so there isnt pressure going forward because I am already seeing chatter about people knocking RU for doing everything at the RAC thus far

Our road losses in the B1G were also to arguably the best 3 teams in the conference besides us.

Saturday is a neutral site. Not road win.

 

[FELONIOUSMONK]

The RAC is back. Now we just have to learn how to carry that energy sand magic on the planes with the team . Don't have to win them all. Just a few.

 

[bac2therac]

Saturday is a neutral site. Not road win.

it will still count on the total road/neutral record. It matters, would it be better to win at PennState over Michigan, might be a bit better but the whole point is to get wins away from home even if neutral.

 

[RU82]

Just win baby.

We’ve been oh so close in our last two road games. Just need to close stronger.

When you like a teams 1 thru 44 do you see a ton of separation?

In the end I don't think it matters all that much what seed we get. Maybe that is a wrong way of thinking about it. Match ups maybe more important than what seed we play.

Yup.

Neutral vs. Michigan
At Penn State
At Wisconsin
At Purdue
At Ohio State
At Maryland

Not saying it can't happen but it's unlikely we lose all of those.

 

[RUDieHard]

This Saturday's game is important. It's a good trial run for a tourney game. Neutral site games will be what we'll encounter. Let's win and gain confidence in these type of scenarios.

Id say you can probably come up with the first 16 schools...1-4 seeds

then I think the grouping of 5-8 seeds about 16 schools are really close right now and then another grouping of a dozen in that 9-11 seed range

RU is in that 5-8 seed range right, to me its sort of pointless to assign seeding at this juncture given there are 10 games plus conference tourneys to play

Do you separation in B1G?

As of now there would be a variety of seeds our teams would get.

But to your point may only be 1 or 2 1 thru 4 seeds B1G gets

Our road losses in the B1G were also to arguably the best 3 teams in the conference besides us.

And we were up in 2 of those games with 2 minutes to play.
