I'm not going to say what that is but 2 wins makes us a lock for this tournament. One might even do it depending on who we play in the B1G tourney and how things shake out with AQ's.
Heard Some Good News Regarding Our at Large Chances
- Thread starter Caliknight
- Start date
Based on where we stand right now, I can make that claim.
Things would have to go completely bonkers with AQ's for that scenario to play out.

Let’s start with the Terps for the first one!
This is our best chance at a victory between these two games. PSU at PSU is going to be a big challenge.
We need to win our home games.
Hopefully Maryland comes in distracted after glove gate.

It’s been a while since we’ve beaten them and probably the first time RU has a chance to beat a former national champion for any sport
It's time. We need to cross this one off the list.
There is a chance that there could be a 6 way tie after Sunday if Rutgers wins, Michigan beats PSU and OSU beats Hopkins none of which are out of the range of possibilities.
Hijacking the thread I fear, but is this true. Seems hard to believe. I’d have to do a lot of homework. UCLA or unlv in hoops? Women’s hoops? Tennessee ? Uconn?
He overplayed that one a little bit 89 😆 but it would still be a big win! GoRU!
Without confirming, but also in men's basketball....possibly any of these?
> Connecticut during 99-00 season (after they won in 1998-99)
> Syracuse during 03-04 season (after 02-03 natty)
> Connecticut during 04-05 season (after 03-04 natty)
UNLV win in 91-92 season would have been the 2nd season after their natty in 89-90 but the season after their national runner-up finish in 90-91.
So probably wouldn't be first time for beating a former national champ in any sport, even if the time period is limited only to the following season after the opponent's natty. Recognizing also that the opportunities available to face a national title winning team the following season can be somewhat limited, but arise moreso if one of your conference mates is the natty winning opponent that you then automatically face the next season (such as UConn & Cuse from Big East basketball in the 6-yr stretch above).
Truly anyone one in B1G can beat anyone else. Probably for the 1st time
RU was ranked #9 in the Committee Poll before today. #8 Army lost by 1 and #10 Georgetown squeaked by in OT to Marquette.
That Cuse UNC game was a really good game to watch. Unfortunately, though ESPNU cut out of the Hopkins OSU game to switch over to the ACC
Cuse asked that the game be moved to Maryland due to travel costs and a similar deal has been made with Duke (teams alternate as “home” team each year). They played on a high-school football field in the DC suburbs…not a good look IMO. BigTen money is the real deal….
It went to ESPN News. Don't know if that's on your system.
UNC is not good. They easily could have won that game. They play very dumb. Low IQ team.
I don’t doubt what you’re saying so I assumed they bussed to Maryland. Otherwise how much less could it cost if they flew?
I wouldn’t be shocked if it costs at least 50K round trip for a plane large enough for 30 passengers.
It’s a six hour drive from Syracuse to DC one way and even an ECHL hockey team owns their own sweet bus with TV’s and whatnot.
I thought the idea was to play the game in the middle of a recruiting hot bed, beneficial to both teams. Some teams also do it regularly at a high school in Long Island; I can't remember who.
Personally, I doubt that the location had anything to do with money...
Not according to the article I found. I’m sure a savings of at least 100K a year per team is meaningful since North Carolina is too far to drive without a stay over and vice-versa for Duke and UNC to upstate NY.
I’m not sure guys being recruited by Maryland were all that impressed with a game being played on a parochial school’s football field.
I believe it was both. The announcers said there was a cost cutting reason though. That surprised me.
We fly charter to the Midwest. Fundraising has already started for 24 and 25 because we will need to charter twice due to the BTT being at Michigan and OSU and will have a regular game there each season.
