Is there a realistic path to a post season tourney?

What do you think our record would need to be considering our conference strength of schedule to get into the NIT or CBI?

not this year but anything less fro next year on would be a downer

Funny. We're more likely to get an extra win playing on day 1, but to do that we need to lose more lol.

not for me

No power conferences entered last year

So why would teams from lower conferences pay to enter?
Don’t they have even less $ than the big conferences?

Rather harsh. 23 win season & still left out?

I question it

Great question. North Texas won it last year and they entered with a losing record. I guess they need to find 16 teams who are willing to lose a decent amount of $. The attendance at the games were really bad. The worst is there is a 2 out of 3 final where both teams obviously have travel costs and have to pay to host. I think some travel costs are paid by Gazelle.

To have a shot at the NIT...

I really think we will would need to be 9-11
And therefore 16-14 heading into the NIT...

I think you would need to win in the big ten tournament gets us...to 17-15...and then I’m not sure that’s enough

Sounds about right. I was think 18 wins should get into the NIT. That’s a stretch for this year.

 

[needmorecowbell]

I was literally think this morning, how many more wins until we can start talking about NIT? I was thinking at the 16th win if they make it that far.

Looking at the remaining schedule, I’d sign up for at least 3, hopefully 4 wins to get to 7-13 and 15-15 before Big 10 tourney. Seems possible.

We need 5 wins to get to 8-12/15-15.

Before the season started, I figured we'd go 8-2 OOC and 7-13 in the B1G to finish 500. The loss to Fordham means we need 8 B1G wins instead of 7.

Mike is correct. We need a really big run like we did in 1989 but now we are in the BIG rather than the Atlantic 10. We really need to slow down. One game at a time please.

True, but would be great to get in the 10/7 game or 8/9 game and have a chance to go for one win coming in fully rested and get to the QFs again.

Ah yes you are right, we went 7-3 in OOC.

Imagine this board now if we had beaten Fordham and NW (only 2 giveaways this year), 4-5 and 12-7

 

[RUsojo]

Just a hunch but I think our conference will not be considered as strong as people thought come years end.

 

[dconifer]

I'm going to say that Coach Pike and the powers at Rutgers are wise enough not to lower themselves to the point of buying a slot in the CBI if invited. For a P5 team, that stain wouldn't go away for a while.

Pike is moving along, he'll get there...
