Manhattan 78 Monmouth 71

[bac2therac]

Blew a lead and I saw some pushing and shoving in the highlights

how many of these losses can they absorb..lost to Canisius, Army and now Manhattan, if they lose in the conference tourney, I think they can get in if they don't lose anymore but anymore losses and its going to be tough to justify it

St. Peter's alone in first now.

But Masiello working his magic again.

What did the bench mob do? A choke scene?

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

The bench is hurting them now. Teams really want to beat monmouth

 

[knights1212]

That is another terrible loss for Monmouth. Manhattan had done absolutely nothing this year to date.

I agree----a bad loss----one more of those and they'll have to win the postseason tourney to get a bid IMO.

Disagree on the Bench Mob----team is in first place in the league-----any time you play that kind of club at home you get an A effort.

See RU last night.

 

[bac2therac]

and the bench mob looks lame when you lose games

I could see the bench mob backfiring by painting a target on the team's back. Seems to get under the skin of a lot of teams

i believe they single handedly gave the RAC juice this year. Building was almost full.

 

[RutgersJoe]

After reading this, I dislike the bench mob even more

Saying Nebraska stinks and Villanova is overrated could also qualify as lame.

Agree. The first time I saw it was funny, but seems to me this is the epitome of dissing your opponent. If I was the coach I'd be saying "enough".

Villanova is overrated...you watch when they get into the NCAA tournament...fold early every time. Nebraska? well they need to finish strong to make the NIT...Monmouths bench is biting them in the ass

 

[TDIrish27]

So they're going to lose their last game---------wizard !

Meanwhile they're ranked 5th and have won 23 straight conference games.

You stated Nebraska stinks and obviously after beating Mich State in East Lansing they don't. Teams that stink don't pull that off.

Here's a thought-----why don't you tell us who's good .

That should be the Kiss of Death for somebody .

 

[bac2therac]

or go back to where you came from instead of trolling Rutgers message boards like you do

 

[TDIrish27]

Have some cheese with that whine.

 

[bac2therac]

go back to Somerset Charlie

Monmouth has no shot at anything but the NIT--only because they have a nice home arena.
King Rice--and I am a Carolina Alum--destroyed himself in the coaching profession by
barking at too many of the Iona players in first half of that game last week.
Might be a Monmouth lifer like his predecessor. $1mm salary, memberships to 2 golf clubs, and
a new cars for him and his wife every 6 months.

The bench mob has always been a mistake; got LOTS of attention/publicity for the school
but 99.9% of coaches would never let that happen.
There is a reason why cheerleaders are not behind the bench.
Who would hire one of those guys, anyway. NOT me.

 

[knights1212]

I think the bench mob is a big mistake. Those guys act like fools. I know if I was a coach I would never allow that for my team and as a coach of another team it would fire me up to get my players really wanting to win a game against that type of behavior.
