Didn't we just blow out Iowa by like 20 on the road?
What is our overall Big Ten road record since joining the Big Ten? How many of the losses have exceeded 10 points? Without 3-point shooters and among the worst foul shooting teams, it is rare that we win and almost as rare that the game has some drama or comeback potential. When we fall behind it is just a matter of how bad we get it in the end.
Putrid? Not saying either game was a great all-around effort but we ran into the two hottest teams in the conference. We were a last second bucket away from people calling the PSU game one of the best of the season. And we ran into an absolute buzzsaw in Indiana, who was at home on senior day, in a game they needed to win to keep their tourney hopes alive. Obviously these games would’ve been nice to pick up but it doesn’t change the progress we’ve made this year. We’re one of the youngest teams in the nation and just a week ago everyone was super high on our future. This last week shouldn’t change that
Yep. That's the next step. Gotta find a way to beat some big boys to be a bubble team next sesson.
With .500 not likely happening this year, that’s (.500) still the next step to take. We controlled our own destiny after Iowa and laid an egg. The moment was still too big for Rutgers. Being an NCAA team next year is a gigantic step.
Based upon he was a starter and contributor at U of Texas.
Each step does not have to happen in separate seasons. We can finish over .500, beat a few big boys AND be a bubble team next season.
You’re right. We could’ve done it this year after placing last for what seems like forever. But we didn’t.
Yes,Rutgers needs to multi task and achieve multiple goals in the same season.
