Game Thread: RU vs Stony Brook, 7pm, RAC, BTN+, story:

They played awful but even UNC lost to Wofford. Bad games happen. We know we have the capability to beat a good portion of the Big Ten.

UNC can sustain a loss to Wofford...RU as a program cannot afford these kind of losses if it wants to take the next step. Losing is part of the process in getting there but we have been here before too. There is no bright side of this lost

If u admit losing happens as part of the building process..why can’t ru afford this? They are building..this happens. Move on.

This is good for the team and program in the long run. Reality check.

Loosing is never good...ever.
Ask the greatest coaches of all time, your best teaching moments come after wins.
Loosing sucks every time and there’s zero good that comes from it.
Was Washington good for our football team?

As coach said after the game, RU got what it deserved. I think that’s always good, Sports and non-sports wise..to get what u deserve. I think it’s bad when someone gets something it doesn’t deserve.

You’re really reaching here Mike.
Winning this game playing like crap would have been far and away better for the team

Ok. But my mind isn’t going to change. (And I get u probably have a better idea on this than I do).

I still think RU deserved to lose (as I’m sure 99% of people who watched do). And I think it’s good they did.

On the other hand you can't realistically expect you are never going to have these. This was a perfect storm let down game. Let's see how things play out before you all slit your wrists.

but if you are going to turn the corner you stop having them, it just is a reality check thats we are nowhere near that. I can take WTF losses but losses the way it was done in the last 10 seconds is another story

its only good if you learn from the loss, we shall see what happens in close games against Big 10 opponents and in games where RU might be the favorite, this team is not ready to handle being the hunted not the hunter

No you don’t stop having them once you turn the corner. Hence Indana last week, UNC earlier this week, PSU and Cuse today. These losses happen to everyone, turning the corner or not.

Yes, the way it happened is another story. But the loss itself isn’t a program destroyer.

Agree. I think they will.

This team was never ready to be the hunted. One major win against a ranked shouldn’t have changed mindsets. Still a very flawed team with a long way to go.

Pike stuck with that small lineup waaay too long against taller guards.

Not possible. The guy is John Wioden incarnate.

I'm a huge fan of John Wioden. His run at YCLA was incredible.
