OT: R.I.P. David Johansen

"...In the ’80s, Johansen assumed the persona of Buster Poindexter, a pompadour-styled lounge lizard who had a hit with the kitschy party single “Hot, Hot, Hot” in 1987. He also appeared in such movies as “Candy Mountain,” “Let It Ride,” “Married to the Mob” and had a memorable turn as the Ghost of Christmas Past in Bill Murray-led hit “Scrooged.”..."

This shot chart is a total indictment of steve pikiells lack of an offense

When you look at a dusty may offensive shot chart side by side with a steve pikiell shot chart, it really drives it home. There is no rhyme or reason to pretty much anything we do on offense. It’s street ball. It’s pick up basketball. Zero attempt at efficiency or trying to create high % looks.

Not convinced its better for Minny to beat Nebraska. I do not think it actually gains RU anything - RU seems likely to have to beat Minny (or Minny to beat RU) in the last game ... unless another team gets to 14 losses.

The easiest path for RU other than beating Purdue and Minnesota, is for Iowa to lose 2 (facing Michigan St at home, than @Nebraska), and/or USC losing 3 (@Oregon, home vs Washington and @UCLA). You do NOT want to finish in a 3-way or more tie with USC as one of the teams if the 3 or 4 teams in that mini-pool have the same record against each other: USC beat Michigan St, currently #1 in the conference, and that is a HUGE potential tiebreaker in a multi-team mini-pool tie.
With the way everything else has gone this season and with how disappointing it’s been, it would make a hell of a lot of sense for us to finish 16th and miss tourney based upon some multi-team tiebreaker. Not saying it will happen, but it would be par for the course for sure. Thinking the Minnesota game may end up a must win game, but I think we win that game. Still thinking we get in, but if somehow we missed on a crazy scenario I am not going to be shocked in amazement.

OT: WOW… Pete Rose has died at the age of 83

Rose belongs in the HOF because of his talent
If OJ can be in the NFL's HOF , Rose needs to be treated the same as Simpson
As for the pardon , maybe Pete having sex with a 16 year old when he was32 put him in grab en by the pussy's good graces.
>In 2017, court documents showed that Rose had filed a defamation suit against John Dowd, MLB's attorney who had alleged that Rose had committed statutory rape. Among the ensuing documents was a sworn statement from a woman who said she and Rose had had sex before she turned 16 in the 1970s, both in Cincinnati and beyond Ohio's borders. Rose eventually admitted that he and the girl had sex, but only after she turned 16, he said. The suit was settled and dismissed later that year, but not before Rose lost his Fox Sports commentator gig and his induction into the Phillies' Wall of Fame was cancelled.<

Right but this is what I mean re: Minnesota. We will have to beat them regardless to stay ahead of them. Nebby could easily lose out and we own the tie breaker there.

The only way Minnesota losing would matter for staying ahead of them is if we beat Purdue to get to 8 wins. But if we do that we are almost certainly making it regardless.

Edit: i see what you're saying about the 3 way tie scenarios which I hadn't considered.
Minnesota winning helps RU because if they are included in the 7-13 tied teams it pushes Rutgers to the bottom in most of the possible round robins. If Minn finish 8-12 then Rutgers at 7-13 has better round robin records over the other likely 7-13 teams
