I see a lot of negativity on the board. And that's what losing will do.

So simple question, as we sit here before the Indiana game, does Rutgers make the tournament. Simple yes or no.

No hedging. No if this happens or that happens.

I'll start off and say yes we do go dancing!!

Yes, God willing yes.

Last year we slumped for a stretch and had to kick it into gear. I see similar pattern this season.

OP, you could have made this a poll to get actual % feedback.

My vote is: NO

I hope like hell I'm wrong, really hope I'm wrong.... but the way they played against Maryland, if that continues, I think they get left out.

I really hope I'm wrong and they find 1-2 more wins. ( I think 2 wins total, including BIG Tourney is what it takes)

Yes - question in my mind is around seeding, and whether this team can comeback together at the right time to win in the postseason.

This is really impossible to answer based on what we are seeing right now.
If this turns into another inexplicable losing streak like the last one, we don't deserve to be in any tournament.

I just want 1 win starting with Indiana. I’m not worrying about anything else for now except next game. I sure hope these guys relax , play hard , play together and do it with some swagger.

Committee does look at "what have you done lately?" Unfortunately RU has regressed badly. Illinois and Purdue wins were 2 months ago..IU was a decent win but will cancel out if they lose tomorrow (like Maryland) so any loss the next 3 will be a killer and need to make the quarter finals of B1G tournament. I think those saying 7 seed, or Katz's 8 seed are nuts

I realize I could've made a poll but decided it would be more fun to see what each individual person actually votes for. Poll would be too confidential. It's more fun to get people to make a choice and get them on the record.

I think we go 1-2 to finish season and get bounced in first conference tournament game. I’ll let the bracket experts tell me if that gets us in. My instinct says no

YES, They go to the tournament. This team has it within them to be really good. we saw it last year and we have seen flashes of it this season. They have the talent and ability but need the will to play a solid 40 minutes each time they take the floor. The saving grace to what we have seen lately is watching cliff develop each game. first few games he looked lost on the court. Now he looks like he belongs out there and you can see every game he gets better and better. That will start to pay off big soon.
