the Fordham loss is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse. This is like losing to Villanova
Football is a worse loss imo and it’s not clos. Weird stuff happens in b-ball all the time.
Buffalo is going to a bowl. Fordham will finish last in a midmajor conference
Buffalo isn’t that bad.
Kansas would be a better comparison.
Speaking of which, can we stop the comparisons to football?

There are two ways to look at this, and each gives you a different answer.
1. Football you have an entire week to prepare for. All of your efforts for six days are focused on one opponent. You scheme for that opponent. You prepare to defend that opponent. A loss to an inferior team is inexcusable.
2. Buffalo is a far better football (and basketball) program than is Rutgers, while Fordham has been struggling for most of the time it has been in the A-10. Losing to Fordham, home or away, just isn't a good sign, while Buffalo has something pretty good going on. A loss to Fordham is inexcusable.
Of course, there is a third factor, as Buffalo was a home game and Fordham was a road game.
Empirically, the Fordham loss is worse. But a bad loss in basketball is, usually, far more excusable than a bad loss in football.

All it takes is a hot shooting team and the other team having a bad night.
Buffalo was worse because honestly they could have hung 50 on us but they decided not to. Football also doesn’t resemble an actual team. Basketball actually has competent players on the offensive aide of the ball who have potential. We’re not a “good” team. We have to show up with our “A” game every night. When we don’t, we get this
There is no hope for football under Ash.While there is still hope for men's bb .
The entire athletic department under Barch is a TOTAL failure and all Hobbs does is solidify that lack of success.

Worst thing that happened to Rutgers was that Fordham lost to Maine, Honor went for 29 yesterday. When Fordham lost to Houston Baptist their other loss, Honor went for 30 and they beat a now 7-2 FIU team.
That EMU team went to a bowl. This Fordham team is going to finish last in the A-10.
The Buffalo loss in FB is worse and I am a much bigger BB fan. Buffalo destroyed us at home. Destroyed us. Fordham beat us by 8 at their place. Road game. Not minimizing Fordham loss as it was awful but in comparison the Buffalo loss is worse. Plus in basketball, you face a hot kid as Honor was and that'll do the trick. Honor by the way is averaging about 20 a game. He's also real good. Both losses are awful and should never have occurred.
Fordham is a worse loss. In me eye, because we keep saying how we’ve upgraded our talent and it was a freshman back court that killed us. None of our young have shown an ability to take over like that.
