Special shout-out to bac for the years of heartache and his unwavering dedication to the program. You and some others on the board truly deserve this!

Baker the shot maker

Are we up to a 10 seed now and how far can we climb?

 

[BigLou]

Better than a 10 seed

Special shout out to the guys on this board who have followed for the last 29 years. I started watching and posting my freshman year 2001 and have been amazed at the diehardness of many on this board over the last 20 years. It’s truly a great day for them and all Rutgers fans.

This team can make a run in the BTT. They just grew up today. I know ppl say Michigan is a bad matchup but beating a team 3 times in a row is a tough feat

I would rather be a 10 then an 8 or 9

Solid 10 seed for now. Definitely move up to a 9 if they win on Thursday

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! I am SOOOOOOOO EMOTIONAL NOW. What a clutch performance by EVERYONE! Yes, Geo was clutch throughout, but great play by everybody (no I'm not going to criticize here) and great adjustment by Pikiell using Harper as a decoy all game to force Eastern outside, opening up the paint.

I AM SO PROUD OF THIS TEAM AND COACHING STAFF!!!! WHOOO-HOOOOO, WE'RE GOING DANCING!!!!!!!

I’m watching Geo’s live instagram feed from lockerroom in tears

Unfreakingbelievable win! So great! Finally. We all deserved this. No tears actually - but the hugest shit-eating grin you could imagine. I just ran around the whole house like an 8-year old screaming Rutgers Wins! Rutgers Wins! Cracked my wife up, as she was quietly watching upstairs (she can't take my screaming and cursing during a close game or one we're losing).

Waiting for RUBob to come on and say we need to win 2 more, lol....

 

[Degaz-RU]

This game was one for the ages. Go into the belly of the beast, fight Purdue punch for punch, and Geo just makes clutch shot after shot after shot, and win a “must win” game on the road, probably cementing our first NCAA tournament berth in 29 years.

EPIC

I am so emotional now. It's been 29 long years, and Pike did it in his fourth year. Too all my friends and board mates CONGRATS! We deserve this!!!!

Pike played for Calhoun at UConn. He is going to do for Rutgers what Calhoun did for UConn

 

[RUinFla]

First 20-win season in 16 years. Win just one more and it will be the most wins in 37 years. Recruiting is picking up, and we are clearly moving forward. No longer a joke for nameless color analysts who are out of material. Who cares what seed we are? Just be happy to make the tourney, finally.

 

[Rhuarc]

I watched the game in the Rutgers club, in between sessions of the wrestling tournament. I was very emotional but tried to keep it together in public. The noise level reaction wasn’t as loud as I thought it would be when we won, but there was a lot of hugging and hi fives between the people who knew what was going on.

 

[FastMJ]

Pikiell has a shelf set up for the NCAA trophies in his office. Start filling ‘er up!!!!!!

No we still need to win the BIG tourney.

 

[njcanesfan]

Been following since 97, been a fan since 2015. This is simply amazing!!!!! The whole family watched with me!!!!

Man, as bac said.... NO WORDS!!!!

 

[biazza38]

This team deserves this.
