Anything on Rutgers-Yale?

Last year we lost to Yale and box scores were not supposed to be released. Someone from Yale released it but there is nothing this year. I hope maybe this means we won this time and Yale didn't want anyone to know. I hope that is the case.
 
Yale hoops must be feeling their oats. They open at Creighton. A profile of the Ivy League’s top-rated team:

Interesting that they mention one Yale player this season, Makai Mason, who has announced already that he will play next year at Baylor, a team that Mason helped beat in the NCAA tourney, which goes against the bromide “If you can’t beat them, join them”. College basketball ain’t what it used to be. Mason’s academics can not hurt Baylor’s APR. Baylor and Yale academics are in different solar systems.
 
tough loss 67-65

We took Yale lightly...
Coach said his team may have taken Yale lightly. He said when he told one of his players in practice this week to take this game seriously, he responded, “Coach, it’s Yale.”

Mike had 15.......Mike Sherrod

--------
a 15-1 record at home and beating four top 25 teams at the RAC....this was the perfect
example of holding serve, as the coach used to call it

all that, and we were still just a NIT team.... without looking it up, the road record could not
have been stellar.

I will never understand this logic/excuse/reasoning from any team in the country, at any level. But, when it's Rutgers, and the program, isn't a program, but more of a 96 year old person on life support, it's pathetic!
Rutgers University and all of it's Athletic Programs are the laughing stock of Division I Athletics. And, it's been that way for a Century. For any sport to have "taken lightly" the opposition, is an insult to everyone who has ever played any sport, at any level. Rutgers should be hungry, motivated, unmerciful, and above all desperate. Each and every game in any sport should be a chance to avenge 100 years of jokes, and insults towards the State University of New Jersey. Where's the pride, the desire and every other adjective which every athletes playing for Rutgers should be wearing on their sleeve!?
I am embarrassed when we succumb to all the negativity surrounding Rutgers. And, it all starts with Administration to the Faculty, Community(NJ), the students and finally the players. This is the culture that everyone seems to want to change, but have no clue on how to....As Trump would say..."sad."

I understand your post, but I must admit I find it funny to be posted on a website that has a s—t ton of activity between 9am and 5pm Monday thru Friday.

That's all fine, but I think you may not have realized that the post you quoted is a joke as it is referencing a game from the year 2002.

Given that Mike Sherrod is closing in on 40 should have tipped him off

We were terrible on the road. Lost to a 12-18 ECU team in our early season tournament, lost by 14 at 10-18 Va Tech. Besides our one road win at WVU, we weren't within 10 points of anyone in conference on the road.

Same thing happened 2 years later. Sitting at 16-9, lost at Va Tech by 1 point after beating them by 33 two weeks earlier, then lost by 2 to SHU and to Va Tech at 3 in the Garden.

first off I got the joke....but with regard to your post..I posted similar on the football site regarding this subject. Was told by plenty to have a thicker skin and not be a cry baby lol.

Of course he didn't. He's in too in love with reading his own drivel. The funny thing is that we have a guy coaching now who is trying to change that.

No, I understood the ref. and the year. What my comments alluded to was not any of those factors, but the sentiment of the players. Do you really think that there is a different attitude towards all of the Rutgers athletic programs nationwide. We are talking about 100 years of futility, a few years, is not going to change that in the minds of many.
I love our new coaches. But, until we change their mindset of the administration we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.
BTW Petie, yes I do "love reading my own drive" it's a little like talking to yourself. Sometimes, it's the only intelligent conversation I can have...:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
 
Saw Sanders post a video of him faking out a Yale defender and hit about an 18 footer on Instagram

Posted a second video of him doing the same I'm guessing 2nd half on the other side of the court and hitting a shot.

Yale has a chance to be pretty (really?) good this year. They get the Mason kid back who missed last year after leading them to the Ivy title and a win over Baylor in the 2016 NCAA tournament. I have seen the name of Yale's other kid in the backcourt (name escapes me) on NBA draft lists. Yale has a heck of a backcourt. Maybe as good or better than many P5 schools.

St. John's is the tell tale story.....there is no guessing about this Sunday.....No way to verify Carino's info, there's no box score appearing anywhere.....if either team did great, I'm sure it would have been placed out there by either Yale or RU.....my guess is it was very competitive
 

It's not relevant....nobody can verify anything, I can with certainty confirm there's no way that info is legitimately accurate....I edited my response and St.Johns is where there is no guessing or anything to not be aware of....RU is much better and won't finish last in the B1G, I'm fairly confident that if healthy, we aren't finishing last.
 
So nobody can confirm anything, but you're confirming that Carino is wrong?
Sounds like he heard we lost a close one, but doesn't wanna make a thing of who is right etc. No big deal either way.
 
All I care about at this juncture is our team chemistry melding together and playing as a team so that when the season officially kicks off we're ready to play tough and competitive BB.
