Survive and advance.

I wish this game were at home. Would feel mighty comfortable if it were.

 

[RUich]

Hard for me to understand how the #9 team in the country is still a bit of long shot to make the post season. Go RU!

 

[RUTrack94]

Let’s go RU!!!!! Win this thing today, get the 3rd seed!!!!!

 

[RUMountie]

The Patriot League playoffs went well so far for us, hopefully Loyola eliminates Lehigh as an at large bid. The ACC tournament sucked, but maybe if it comes down to Rutgers vs. Syracuse for an at-large bid we will get the nod having beaten them soundly earlier this season. Really I would like to see us take this whole thing by the balls and just win the B1G tournament to kick the door down. It's starts today with kicking OSU's ass.

Not enough at large bids. Couple of bad losses. Can't miss big tournament and expect a bid. Need to take care of Business today.

 

[rufeelinit]

Just need to find a way to get a W today. No excuses.

I think Michigan's win today put Rutgers in the BigTen tournament

It did. OSU now needs to win to make the tourney. If RU wins, PSU makes the tourney and RU will be the #3 seed.

Hypothetically speaking, is PSU behind us on the bubble regardless of today's result, and would a loss put OSU ahead of us on the bubble?

 

[herdof3]

PSU lost?

I would say PSU is pretty clearly behind us. We beat them head-to-head and a home loss to Michigan hurts them badly. OSU has virtually no chance to jump us unless they win the Big 10 Tourney. It would be a bad loss for us though as far as making the NCAA.

 

[Tango Two]

Just win

 

[Tango Two]

PSU lost?

Yes

 

[Caliknight]

Michigan women just beat PSU on a last second goal. Rough weekend for Penn St.

 

[koleszar]

Mazzone is having a tough outing open twice right in front missed one pass then shot right into goalie. Down 1-0.
Lost both face offs so far.

 

[Caliknight]

Need to finish in front.

 

[koleszar]

This ain't going so well. Now down 2-0. Another slow start. We are not getting ground balls.

 

[RU Mike73]

Down 2 zip in less than 4 minutes. Pick it up boys.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

We don’t make things easy for ourselves...ever.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Our man-up is SOOOOO bad.

 

[RUONTHERISE]

Better get things straightened out.

 

[koleszar]

We are playing God awful, man up we lose ball, D is parting like the red sea giving wide open shots. Not sure if RU is awake yet. That is a pretty dreary looking place when it's not filled with 100K

 

[RUTrack94]

Team is relaxing because of the PSU loss today ...

 

[Leonard23]

Ugly start. Need to turn it around.

 

[koleszar]

Team is relaxing because of the PSU loss today ...

Lose this one and it's B1G tourney champs or bust. Hopefully they do understand this.


There you go now 2-1.
We have lost all 4 face offs thus far it continues to be a huge problem.

 

[Rutgers83]

Give it time guys. It's only two goals. We can go on a streak like Michigan. 2nd overtime with Maryland Hopkins tied at 7. Great lacrosse in Big Ten.

 

[Caliknight]

Getting killed on faceoffs.

 

[Caliknight]

Uggh, Jules a little off so far.

 

[Rutgers83]

3rd IT. First time in 94 years.

 

[Caliknight]

Like that Hopkins and Maryland are beating the shit out of each other.

 

[koleszar]

They don't get this face off thing figured out they're going to lose. Now down 3-1

 

[Caliknight]

Like that Hopkins and Maryland are beating the shit out of each other.

Love that result.

 

[Rutgers83]

Maryland wins it. What a game.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

If we were better on FO’s and man-up we could win the whole damn thing. Like, nationally.

 

[koleszar]

Now 0 for 6 on faceoffs this is getting ridiculous.

 

[rufeelinit]

Just brutal on face offs. Such a disadvantage. Combine that with the turnovers and you feel lucky to only be down 2. Need productive possessions.

 

[rufeelinit]

Another wasted possession.

 

[80RU]

Weren’t they zero for 10 in the second half of the last game? That would make it 16 losses on face-off in a row.
