Losing tonight to a 4-8 mid major after beating a Top 20 in-state rival is just classic Rutgers. No school in the universe knows how to let the air out of the balloon and fast like RU. Need to beat Hartford and Wisconsin is still a big game, but to lose this one tonight is why RU just doesn’t get the average NJ basketball fan to really invest emotion into the program. You beat SHU and it’s all pats on the back and dreams of bigger things this season. You lose your worst game of the season in literally the next game and the excitement that was starting to build comes to a halt now until we win another big game (like Wisconsin). Disappointing that anyone could see this coming (as our coaching staff and players should have) and we allowed it to happen. Very, very frustrating result tonight.
