Has this season made you lose your enthusiam for college basketball?

somewhat but also the shift of games to all different networks at odd times especially Peacock. It a disheartening to know the RU hoops season is over at the midway point of the season which might be the first time we can say it since Pikes 2nd year

im sure i will come around by the beginning of March
Season is definitely not over. If we get hot and everything breaks right the rest of the way, we can still be on the bubble for the B1G tournament.

OT: NFL 2025 Championship Games Thread

Brady grows on me.
He names the routes and coverages from one play to another.
He said the out-cut route is the one most teams want to see at the combine.
See lots of those at RU - Out Route Central University
He’s getting better and growing into it. People were always going to be hyper focused on his mistakes because of the reported size of his contract.

Has this season made you lose your enthusiam for college basketball?

I'm a college hoops junkie. It's my favorite sport. I'll continue to watch with the same fervor.

I've followed the sport closely since I was a kid, as well as from 1992 through 2020 when Rutgers had three, maybe four, seasons in which it had a legitimate shot of getting a bid to the big dance. One disappointing season by my beloved Scarlet Knights is not going to stop me now.
One?

NIL killed college hoops its now professional hoops

When and if.
The judge has given the House settlement preliminary approval and so the period has begun for past athletes to file claims. There have been objections to the terms of the agreement and the judge will rule on them in March. But none of the objections, as important as some of them are, affect the idea that the schools will start paying athletes directly.

Note also that, as the link says, litigation is moving forward on whether student athletes are "employees" for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act or the National Labor Relations Act. The House settlement may well affect that litigation.

Rutgers begins Big Ten Conference action this weekend with back-to-back road matches at No. 24 Indiana in Bloomington and No 4 Ohio State in Columbus

It’s still unlikely but every path to upset Ohio State included wins by both Peterson and Shawver. Not having Olivieri stinks because he could keep 141 to a decision, but going to need to win a few toss ups the rest of the way. Might need some Soldano magic or a 6-4 bout split. There are some winnable matches throughout the night.

OT (Updated): The Saturday 1/11 Event Now Looking Like <1" with a Whiff Possible on the Low Side and 1-2" Possible on the High Side

Just like the 1/6 storm - cold air isn't the issue, precip is.
I evidently didn't make my point well. Even when the amount of precip is high, it often falls at the shore as rain, freezing rain, or sleet rather than as snow because the ocean's influence raises the air temperature above freezing. So it was a little surprising to me that the precip in the Cape May area apparently was almost all snow.

Here's your #1 NBA 2025 draft pick

You've been on the board throughout. You don't remember all of the players pike tried to get in the portal? These were the backup plans. They struck out on the big man, the veteran pg, the shooter, the wing defender, stuck out on every single one of them. Then they brought in Acuff, pj hayes, dercak he didn't over estimate he just couldn't land the talent he wanted.
Not sure about that. IIRC Martini was an early pickup and people raved about the pedigree of Acuff and Derkack, who certainly wasn’t an afterthought bc Pike’s recruiting his brother. The only player I’m aware of who Pike wanted and didn’t get was a lefty from Cal Santa Clara or Irvine some other Cal school. I don’t recall real interest in the two bigs Michigan got or the guy from Drexel. There’s the rumor that Sommerville insisted on no portal bigs be offered, and I believe that because Pike may have agreed as a hedge for a longer-term player.

Anyhow, tell me who Pike was looking to add but fell short.
