The first comment he made showed how little he knows about college hoops but he ended up conplimenting Rutgers. Its too bad these guys are unaware whats going on at RU but its funny to watch their reactions when RU beats their team
Every team thinks Rutgers will roll over because they have been terrible since joining the Big Ten. Purdue is the only one that was right this year.
At least they got two good scares from us last year.
Maryland and Michigan... those are the two who haven't really taken punches from RU yet. I believe it's those two, MSU, and Purdue that RU has yet to beat in B1G play (interestingly we haven't knocked anyone off that list this season despite the 7 wins)
Yeah I mean the clear top 4 using results since we joined have been Mich, MSU, Purdue, Wisconsin. So it makes some sense that we haven't been able to crack 3 of those 4. Wisconsin, we caught them shorthanded on a lights out day for us in '15 and in a reloading stretch last year. Maryland has been close behind those top 4 and we haven't had a break against them.
We were like a St. Bonaventure to most big 10 teams until suddenly st. Bonny comes in and whips you. I think he hit the nail on the head. We aren’t going to surprise anyone anymore. We are now known as a dangerous team.
Fran said it after the game at the RAC. “I think Rutgers can beat anyone in the country.” I don’t think he meant Duke but I think he was sincere.
We deserved to win that game and I had a feeling we were going to win it. Our kids are fearless and the defense we played was incredible. I was yelling at my TV on every possession to keep playing that hard and stay on Bohannon. Mathis didn’t let up. He needs to figure out his free throw issues but he’s some player. Harper is a gift from god.
At least the author admitted to not knowing much about RU. But it was a nice complement towards RU.

Being underestimated by writers and other teams is an advantage ! They don't get ready for us. I suspect all BIG coaches now recognize how good our team can be, but can they convince their players ? If they can't, their team isn't ready for us emotionally.
In their defense until this year there was nothing about us that anyone would be interested in.
”Good evening everybody! This is Bruce Johnson coming to you live from Olean, NY. Where it might not be the end of the world but you can see it from here.”
Some of the post-game interviews from the Iowa game get under my skin because of the ignorance of the media. They continue to say Rutgers has nothing to play for and they are a bottom dweller, REALLY? WTF
