Even not playing all that great he did average 24 and 11 against Auburn and Kentucky. 24 against Arizona. Did a little less against Kansas I think. Ace was 23 and 11 in his two SEC games. Flagg is excellent, no need to try and drag him down to build Ace up.

Not dragging him down. Just pointing out his support cast is so much better and therefore his assist totals go up . He is playing really well now. He also made 2 crucial turnovers at the end of the Kentucky game. He is not infallible. We see ACE every play and he is placed under our microscope. We do not watch Cooper to the same extent. But from what I have seen lately , Duke is playing thru him as he is handling the ball a lot instead of the guards and he has raised his level of play considerably the last 7-8 games against ACC competition.

Maybe I missed it, but what has Schiano achieved? 7-6 and gagged the third-rate Rate Bowl? I actually think he’s a good coach, just don’t see what gold standard he’s set that Pikes should be aspiring to.

This program was a complete laughing stock when he took over the first go-round. Has sent multiple useful players to the pros. And got the good housekeeping seal of approval for his development of players from none other than Bill Belichick. But that's all he's achieved I guess

Honestly, they should just do away with the one and done. Do those few months they spend in college really make a difference in these kid's maturity? There's the G league Ignite, but the NIL money pretty much squashed that idea.

That's an NBA collective bargaining issue.

Try listening to some pods and listening to coaches press conferences or when they are gathered together and offer their unsolicited opinions. Princeton is thought of highly. The IVys have sent a number of players to the Power 4 after their 4 years are up or earlier and most have had great possitive impacts on their new teams. Danny Wolf from Yale is one of those at Michigan now that I heard the commentator last night say he has worked his way into the first or second round of the NBA draft. I think Xavier Lee of Princeton has a chance for a second round pick or impact free agent. You are claiming Ivy plays shit ball and I disagree wholeheartedly.

my favorite Rutgers was one they gave out at the spring game almost 10 years ago...one i cut the sleeves off and the other just a regular...its not the best made but its got the simple block R and thats it...i think its a Gildan which I usually hate but for some reason this was one of the rare times it worked and has held up.

Otherwise almost all my tees come from homefield or retro brand because I love the soft tees.

I know exactly which one you're talking about and agree. Great t-shirt.

Do you really think they included him on ANYTHING in the past year? He wasn't lying. He didn't know.

Well sure, but even if that happens Ace and Dylan are moving on. There should not be a single person in this fan base that expects to see them anywhere near the RAC next season. You will be watching them on TV.

My point was that the best those two can do for RU beyond this season is represent RU well in the NBA and have long term careers where younger kids know they were RU guys. A 10 year old kid isn't going to remember them making/missing the tournament. They're going to just know "Ace and Dylan went to Rutgers."

That's the future of RU with these two.

Click to expand...

Of course not. I’m just pointing out that until it’s impossible to make the tournament, that should be the goal and presumed best possible outcome however much a long shot.

No - the best thing that can happen is we get in the BIG tournament and pull it all together to claim the autobid.

It's one game and Grant had been just as worthless to that point though. All I'm saying. I hated the Martini pick up, you don't have to tell me how little he's added, he's been worse than I was even expecting.

Click to expand...

Grant was not worthless. He blocked 1-2 shots , got some rebounds and his 3 point shooting came around just a little hitting 1 early second half and one after he was bright back in. Martini did what again? Right , a truly worthless performance.

goru7 said:

I am judging them on who they are today. A team that has a chance to win the Ivys for the third straight year. Do you really think thry are a terrible team ? If so , go ask every Ivy League opposing coach , then go ask all the Power 4 coaches that are scared to schedule them. Then report back. You are acting like they are a terrible team which is the further thing from the truth and I am telling you they are not a team that drastically hurts our NET.

Not a GEV investor, and yes, the price is high. I only bought it as a quick trade, which I rarely do. I just wanted to gamble on the panic, and risked catching a falling knife. It worked out, and just sold for an intraday gain of 8.25%…. Couldn’t give that up.

Made a quick 35% on yesterday's NVDA calls. I wish I had the guts to buy calls with a shorter expiration date, but we all do what we are comfortable with! LOL.

You said all healthy, not anything about how poorly Ace was playing.

There was a previous post in the same conversation that bac responded to, see below:

fluoxetine said:

Ace wasn't playing well back then though so we were pretty much a one man show. Like we are now. The fact that we are playing at basically the same level over the past month as we did over Nov/Dec is actually evidence that there has been a lot of improvement since we've essentially been missing what was our best player by a wide, wide margin.

Now that's not to say everything would be all roses if Harper were healthy; we still dug ourselves a pretty big hole at the beginning of the season. But I think it's pretty reasonable to think that the team, as of 1/28/2025, would be at least a bubble quality team with a healthy Harper.

Might as well tell me we’ll be getting 25 ppg now from Derkack.

Nah, that's why I specifically said:

fluoxetine said:

Ace has improved dramatically at the same time that Harper has been rendered ineffective. If it were any other player, I would write it off as a fluke but since Ace is a projected top 5 draft pick who I expected to improve dramatically I think it is likely to be real.

darkcheck said:

And to me going from 82 to 40 means 42 teams have to drop, so yes, half.

Click to expand...

I mean yes technically 40 is half of 80 but that makes it sound like a much bigger difference than it is, like I said the difference between #40 and #80 in kenpom is less than 5 points per game.
