I can’t believe this turned out to be our last game of the year!!!
I loved watching this Purdue game on the road. Our guys played their butts off and were rewarded. Hopefully this will carry over to next season.
Lost in the madness of this season, can you believe we played Purdue in men’s basketball TWICE in the same year and swept them ?!? Swept! Beat Purdue TWO times ! In the same year!! Crazy
My son and I were jumping up and down that we made the tournament, and he was so excited because last year was the first year he'd filled out a bracket and had it taped to the wall. Hated telling him that there wasn't going to be a tournament after all.
The win at Purdue was incredibly significant. Not just because it was the last game of the season, but because it eliminated any doubt whatsoever that Rutgers was a tournament team in 2019-20. I never bought in to us getting in with less than 20 wins, especially without a quality road victory, and I know many had varying opinions on that point. That Purdue win ended the discussion.
Yes, it was, which is what made winning it even more special. The team gutted it out to a level not previously seen on the road this season.
The last week of the season did so much for the future of this program.
The last season that ended on a win was 2007-08, and before that 1977-78. Last season to end with two wins was 1970-71, when we finished with three wins in a row.
