B1G Today Show thinks we are probably in…

[SBP]

Even with a loss to Michigan , it seems. They think “it will be close” but good Q1 wins, body of work. Last 10 games doesn’t matter anymore

BUT , Dave Revsin said INJURIES ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT by committee ! Helps us with Mag. Interesting take.

We COULD squeeze in even a loss.
Crazy year.

The more and more I study the brackets and bubble teams the more confident I feel. My guess is were the first 11 seed or last 10 seed right now. That means 5 or 6 teams would have to jump us and with only 6 days left crazy things would have to happen for that to take place.

At the end of the day only the committee knows where we stand right now. For all we know they can have us as a safe 10 seed or have us completely out. Going to be a loooonggggg week.

If we squeeze in we went from a team nobody wants to play to a team that other's will think they got a good draw

 

[FinalFourOrBust]

Yup it’s very possible. Been saying this all week.

Our record doesn’t exist in a vacuum. We will be compared to all the other bubble teams. And in the end, few of them will have the quality wins we have.

I mean they're kind of biased lol

Aren't injuries only taken into account if you now have missing players back? So for example, our Temple game.

We're not going to get credit for Mag being out...

End the speculation …just win Thursday!!!

beat me to it...seems to make sense but hope you (and I ) are wrong. Although they could say the team hasn't *yet* adjusted to mag injury. IDK

Yup! But who are we kidding....

Was thinking the same thing unless they think we take another B1G team’s bid.

 

[koko2315]

lot of moving parts, but assuming no bid stealers and no one from first 4 out/next 4 out don't make much noise in conference tourneys...we do have a good win resume

 

[bac2therac]

Penn State hitting the shot yesterday was problematic for us

If the B1G Ten officials really cared about Rutgers, they would change the result of the Ohio State game,

Agree that’s how injuries probably come into play. For example, Justin Moore from Nova was out early in the year still recovering from an Achilles. He came back and when his minutes increased they started playing a lot better…almost inching Nova back into the tournament picture. Ultimately they didn’t win enough but that’s the type of injury I see the committee taking into account.

I think the Mag injury consideration could hurt us more than anything.

Sad but true

 

[JavaDunk18]

If we get in, it’s a new season. Tightness disappears…
They will not want to play us..

B1G wants B1G school in the dance…more at 11

One game at a time. Our goal in November was to be the first RU team to reach the NCAA Tournament three years in a row. That goal, although it will be tough, is still attainable. I know back in January some of us were dreaming Sweet Sixteen dreams and hoping for a good location for our two first round games. Today these thoughts seem like they were from another world and another time.
But it still boils down to we can still reach the initial goal that we had at the beginning of the season. Lets do it.
