I get depressed watching that. That's how bad things have become.Originally posted by RUfanEst89:

No reason to p _ _ s on a nice moment in our history. Nobody here thinks that team were world beaters. But they came together and won a conference championship by beating some good teams. No reason to compare that moment with what we need to do now to compete in the BIG. Apples and Oranges.Originally posted by T2Kplus10:
It was a great moment, but let's not forget this wasn't a great team. They were 10-12 and went on a run for the last 8 games of the season (and then bounced in the first round of the tourney).
I know it feels like this team was like the 95/96 Chicago Bulls when compared to the state of the program now, but honestly, RU b-ball needs to become a lot better than this.
"Very solid" does not equal "great", so we both can be right. I just posted that out of being surprised/reminded of the team's record and journey. I forgot they were 10-12 at one time. I was at the PSU game and have spoken of it fondly for decades.Originally posted by Scarlet Shack:

Actually, RU was sitting at 6-10 on 1/29/89 after a blowout loss at UMass. RU then went 9-2 to finish the regular season.
