It’s two years lol

There is not a record book out there that’s saying we made it during the pandemic year.

We know we all made it but claiming it is just as bad as UCF saying they were natty champs
It’s three years. We rode in two years ago on unciorns and actually won the mythical championship. I know this because I’m sure that we did not lose any games in that tournament.

Anyone saying it's 2, should be ashamed.....it's not like we are saying "we were 14-16 and because they canceled the B1G tournament, we were going to win 4 games in 4 days."

The bottom line is like it or not, RU is a NCAA caliber team, 3 years in a row.....I know it's difficult for the haters that have suddenly disappeared tonight, but we EARNED a bid in 2019-20......stop being a hater, it's THREE years of NCAA caliber basketball, end of story......

Yes. I don’t understand how that’s even remotely a contentious statement. It’s just miserable people on here spewing their **** who are arguing it

Yea let’s argue a positive point. Let’s just put a damper on everything. Bc we’re Rutgers people and we’re miserable f’s
Not really, as someone else posted in this thread, our team is totally different this season because of the extra year.

No one has any clue how things would have turned out.

There's a difference between saying "RU is an NCAA caliber team for 3 straight seasons" and "we made it to three straight tournaments"

Exactly. You delegitimized your own point by stating “no one has any clue how things would have turned out”. Thus, you have no clue whether we make it or miss it this year without Geo. You just don’t know. And there’s no way to know. So your arguing your bizarre point on the night we just got our bid is a waste of your time as well

Lol that's exactly why I'm saying it's weird to call it 3 straight, when technically Geo shouldn't even be here right now if not for the tournament getting cancelled in the first place?

Literally all of college basketball got changed because of that year, and selection sunday never happened, no teams played, which is why I don't claim it.

You're getting butt hurt over this for no reason tbh. Congrats, you collect participation trophies. Duke didn't make it in 2020 just like Rutgers didn't.

Not even close. We were solidly in when they told us to walk off the court when we were going to kick Michigan’s *** in the first game of BiG 10 tourney , a solid 9 -10 seed. Three NCAA worthy teams in a row , 3 double digit wins in Conference play. We were a definite. USF was offering an opinion that they would have won against Number 1 . Your comparison as a Rutgers fan sucks.

I agree that we were in lol, that's not the argument.

The argument is that selection sunday never happened, we never actually heard our name get announced. So NO ONE got in.

This isn't a Rutgers argument. It's a the event literally never took place - there is no banner in the RAC for that year.

Imissed it three years ago i guess, how’d we do? Who won it? Were there any Cinderellas?

what was our seed?

answer any of those questions, I am good.

we were going to be in, but fate had a different end for that team

Yes. I don’t for the life of me understand why any RU fan would disagree with this. 2020 they were 100% in. Yes, there was no tournament but what Pike has done with this team is a amazing. Just enjoy it and stop nitpicking
Because they aren’t Rutgers fans

Exactly. RU "fans" who argue that we weren't going to be in the Dance 2 years ago are just miserable people who love nothing more than to run down RU - big overlap with the folks who wanted Pike fired, if I had to guess.

Santa Claus isn’t real and neither was the 2019-20 tournament. No matter how much anyone wants to believe in them.

Where are they arguing that we weren’t going to be in? They are saying there was no tournament, so we weren’t in something that didnt happen.

never wanted him fired. And I am not miserable….there was no tournament…full stop
