Enough heart attack games in one day!

The basketball gods are smiling down on Rutgers today . Friday watch parties are on deck.

 

[Dpgru]

Fire Pike! Maybe not. Probably playing Iowa in the 4/5 game. Should be fun

 

[Mr Magoo]

Wish we got MSU. Iowa will be super tough.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Northwestern, Nebraska, or Iowa

They just showed the bracket

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Yes yes yes

Storm that court

If you think that was a lot of confetti. Just wait for Wednesday!

 

[Loyal_2RU]

Some crazy people out there.

Bye Bye

 

[newell138]

Who can RU play in our first game?

Whoever comes out of Northwestern, Nebraska and Iowa.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Nebraska should wipe NW

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I want Iowa

We were fated to play Iowa either way, the only difference is now we don't face a potential Q3 loss first. Huuuuuuuuuuuuuge.

 

[IBleedScarlet]

Illinois wins = Rutgers 4 seed

Iowa wins = Rutgers 5 seed


Simple as that…

#4!!!

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Early prediction: the winner of our game on Friday will score more than 50 points.

Best line in this thread was the guy who said “Great, two ulcers on one day!” LOL

Two schools of thought on who we want to play: a loss to Iowa shouldnt hurt us. But the Nebraska-Northwestern winner would be playing their third game in three days and we'd be fresh.

+1

To those who say the basketball gods hate Rutgers, the curse is over. Iowa gets TWO 3-point free throw opportunities late and they make a total of 1 free throw of those 6. You will never see that again. Amazing when you think of all that happened today for RU
