i don't want to be 11th seed
Ok. Let me put my mask on 1st.Deep breaths
Pike is a really good coach. We came within a mishandled layup and front end one and one of beating a NCAA 4 seed on their home court in the midst of their best stretch of the season
I was agreeing that I am not overly worried about seed as long as we are not in dayton11 seed for what? Rutgers would have to be 18-14
Like to avoid 8-9 too. Would rather be a 10 seed frankly.I was agreeing that I am not overly worried about seed as long as we are not in dayton
I am on board with that.Like to avoid 8-9 too. Would rather be a 10 seed frankly.
Yea but we don't have to win them all. The highest probably is winning most of themSchedule is not as easy as most people care to admit. Expectation is to take care of business but a slip up is more possible than would like it to be.
2 gimmes and a bunch with higher loss probability than comforting.
Agreed. Purdue and Iowa I'd like to avoid mostWould like to see us :
1. With double bye
2. Opposite bracket to Purdue
3. Iowa to be in Purdue bracket
4. They will be the 2 most difficult to beat, so it would be great to only have to face one of them in tournament championship.
5. So assuming Purdue is champion and RU and Indiana are 2 and 3 or 3 and 2, that gives us the best setup. I think we can beat Indiana next time.
If not a play in game, not a bad thing to go against 6th seed then a 3 seed …. Anything but a play in or 8/9i don't want to be 11th seed
Agree with all of this. Before the Mag injury, I was thinking we'd finish with 13 or 14 B1G wins, but now I'm thinking 12 or 13 with 11 as the worst case, assuming wins over NE, MN and one of MI/NW - still easily in the tourney with 11 wins and our NET and good road wins, IMO, but I'd really love to get 13 wins and have that 5 seed in reach.I expect Illinois to be a loss, that will put RU at 8-6
I think road game at Minny and Nebby home are must wins as is Northwestern at home. I see us getting all 3
then we need to take 2 of 3 vs Michigan, at PSU. at Wisconsin
thats how you get to 13-7
its not the end of the world if we lose 2 of 3 vs Mich/PSU/Wisc. I do think Michigan will be tough. I think we definitely lose one of those road games and I am worried about Michigan
I dont see how RU finishes worse than 11-9
Michigan has better shooters than Rutgers but they are mediocre on the road.Both games are must wins for Rutgers if they want to achieve a top four seed in the B1G Ten Tournament.Watching Michigan and Nebraska we beat both of these teams
It's crazy how unanimous it is across all of college basketball fandom that it's best to avoid the 8/9 line ... I've never met a fan who'd happily "move up" to an 8/9 from a 10/11. As college basketball has added more and more parity each year, I think it has become even more important to avoid the 1-seed. In a year like this, a 3-seed could lose to literally anybody, haha.I think we get Ws against Minnesota, Nebraska, PSU, and NW, finishing 12-8. I could not care less about the Big Ten Tournament or where we are seeded. If we get the double bye, great, fine, but all I care about is getting above the 8/9 line in the tournament. Anything from 4-7 I'll be content.
