Down 17 after 10 mins.

Just did a puff interview with the kid that hit the shot. No mention of all of the blown calls. The Big 10 admin probably told them to keep a lid on it. ESPN is also saying nothing about the blown calls. This is why Pike shouldve went full Bobby Knight after the game. There is no sweeping it under the rug then.

I know I'm really jumping the gun here and hope we're in the picture for Madness when time comes in March. How will the committee view this game? I know we can't answer for them but if we're on the bubble will that push us up? Will our seeding be worse than it could have been because of it? A road W against a good team like OSU is gold and with the refs handing us a L I hope someone is in their ear when time comes that this wasn't your regular buzzer beater loss.

Does Greg have any other choice but to make major changes?

After Michigan State I would have been happy with Nunz as OC and Wimsatt as our QB going into next season.

But after the last 2 games we have appeared to have hit a wall offensively. I am not sure there is a viable option for Greg that doesn't include a new QB and a new OC. After listening to the post game press conference I was getting the feeling that Greg is already reaching the same conclusion.

Will the fanbase (and donors) accept anything resembling the status quo?

Tough game, gotta play well???
I don’t know a lot about them but I’m going with that.
Don’t want to get into we should’s , and if we’s we’ll win.
Carrying out Pike’s game plan and playing well should be enough to counter SHU’s best.
We’re better than them

What a game. The spark that lit the fire at the RAC that hasn't gone out since

It's one thing to draw a paycheck from Rutgers for game presentation, do things 99% of fans despise, and not be a fan.

It's quite another to rub it in those fans faces.

There was a discussion in another thread about hiring/firing staff. The AD has power to approve/disapprove who Greg hires and fires:

"Assistant Coaching, Football Support Staff Positions and Strength and Conditioning Coaches (hereinafter referred to as “Staff”)

With the consent of the Director, which the Director acknowledges shall not be withheld without reason, you shall have the authority to designate, hire, and terminate prospective members of your Staff (including support staff). Such hires shall be done in accordance with University and Athletics policy and practice, and any relevant statutes, rules or regulations."

As far as buyout:

The buyout stands at 76.875 percent of his remaining contract, starting at $24.6 million. That formula would then decrease the buyout to:

-- $18.45 million if he's fired after the 2021 season
-- $15.375 million after 2022
-- $12.3 million after 2023
-- $9.225 million after 2024
-- $6.15 million after 2025
-- $3.075 million after 2026
-- nothing after the final year of his contract, 2027

On Schiano's end, he would owe $8 million if he leaves before Dec. 1 of next year and decreasing by $2 million a year until 2025, when it flattens to $1 million.

Ash's buyout was $8.5 million, when RU was in a much worse financial position.

Not suggesting Greg should be fired now. But if 2023 is another poor year, or into 2024, it would seem to be not financially prohibitive.

The Gleeson hire was a disaster and not having a dedicated ST coordinator was a mistake but Greg made a good pick in getting Joe Harasymiak as our DC.
Looking at that statement maybe the title of the thread should be "Three Things I Think We Can Agree On".

If you told me yesterday afternoon that something as tragic as last night was going to happen to a B1G hoops team in such a critically important game, I would have know it was going to be us. I blame the universe.

If GS does a deep dive analysis, will it be completed and a coordinator is hired before the portal opens up? If you were considering a transfer, would you go to a team without knowing the coordinator?
I would assume (hope) that some contacts with coaches have already been made.

Is the clock didn’t start at the right time after the missed free throw. There was 5 seconds left when Caleb shot free throw. The rebounder caught the ball and passed it to #2 and when #2 caught the ball there was still seconds left. I have to think that at least a second should have transpired between the rebound and the pass. The ball left the shooter’s hands with .5 seconds left, so the clock operator is complicit in us losing. This is a clear cut violation of a home team clock operator ****ing us. That should be reviewed and conference should time that pass to #2 and change the verdict of the game

Does the benefit of some small increase in the NET outweigh the fact that i really don’t want to see Indiana or a bunch of our conference mates win, ever?

Good hire?

Anyone notice that most upsets to ranked teams start with stellar defense. Not a lot of 79-77 wins against ranked teams. Maybe that’s why we beat so many of them 😀

Refs ran off the court like cowards vs. reviewing last play. They should have reviewed it.
They couldn't rule on the two out of bounds misses to overturn the shot.
You know what they could have done at that time to correct the missed calls and right the outcome? They could have ruled the clock expired even though maybe not. They could have informed both coaches as to why . Using what power they have to do the right thing.How many times have you seen the refs huddle over the camera for 5 minutes for a meaningless out of bounds play?
Cowards didn't even want to engage. That's a crime and they should be reprimanded as unprofessional conduct. Not like a hostile crowd at that moment.

Sorry. That was perhaps the worst screw job ever. It was in the refs control. not a clock malfunction. Not a chance to a miracle win down with 1.3 seconds. It was a robbery totally under the control of the refs.

ARMY WINS!

Im watching a special on it. Anyone know why the bleacher seat sections behind the outfield walls at angel stadium were completely empty?

Takin it to em inside. Much improved. Up 10 at the half. Pickett good player for sure.
