Assuming we are playing in the 1st round (9-15 seeds), does beating an at- best fellow bubble team followed by another loss to a tournament team really move the needle much?

Even if we get a bye, wouldn't we just be beating the same bubble at beat team (9-15 team) then losing for a solid tournament team.

When people say "and 1-1 in the Big Ten Tournament" what are you imagining and how does it help?

Seems only 2-3 wins (followed with another loss) in the conference tournament does anything?

It matters if we have 19 wins going in, 18 maybe, 17, it doesn't matter.

He is not getting to the the line and his assist rate is extremely low so he needs to have higher effective FG% than others and he just doesn't

Below are high major players with usage over 25% and minutes over 60%

He is 36 out of 47 eff fg%
His FT rate is 42 out of 47
His assist rate is 46 of 47

I am just quoting facts, sorry.

When you almost never get him the ball unless he is 18+ feet from the basket with a man on him, yeah he probably isn’t going to be highly efficient.

That Athan slip on 3rd down was killer too. Stupid turf

It’s disappointing but people need to stop with the self absorbed whining. The team is competitive, Kansas St was one of the favorites to win the B1G 12 this year and RU was very close to beating them. We need more speed on defense. More athletic LBs and DBs. Need some explosive DEs. Offensively, need to keep getting better up front. The skill players on offense are getting there. RU is not going to be a playoff caliber program but we can get to a major bowl in the next 3-4 years.

Miller not coming back for that 3rd down catch in the 3rd quarter provided a huge momentum swing toward KState

Agree, if he comes back and makes the catch I believe we would have held on to win. Game changing.

This game is reminiscent of so many Rutgers teams losing when they should have won easily.The problem is Rutgers teams simply can't play solid on both offense and defense for a whole game.In this game the defense stunk for most of the game but the offense dominated in the first half but didn't respond in the second half after Kansas State made quick touchdowns.The mens basketball team scores 82 points but allows Princeton to easily make the winning basket.

These two games make fans shake their heads and ask why can't Rutgers teams have coaching and players that can perform consistently for the duration of a game?The end result is that most Rutgers teams are no better than mid level programs and having no chance of winning league championships.Mediocrity is the accepted norm.
