The Rutgers Scarlet Knights baseball season is officially over. They did not make the NCAA Tournament. Rutgers was listed as one of the first four teams outs. Brutal ending to one of the best seasons in the program history

Thank youthank you for your coverage this season hrod! you did a hell of a job
Get a clue. We were expected to finish at the bottom of the conference with a major rebuild. You don't schedule tough OOC in that scenario as you want to build a winning culture. We overachieved to even be in the convo.Im sorry but from basketball to Baseball,if Rutgers doesnt have someone with knowledge to this point of RPI ,strength of schedule yearly and makes yearly modifications,as a point person in Athletic department to make schedules.,It can NOT be left up to head coaches.

Get a clue. We were expected to finish at the bottom of the conference with a major rebuild. You don't schedule tough OOC in that scenario as you want to build a winning culture. We overachieved to even be in the convo. I was worried this would happen because our RPI was low and it did. Sucks.Why are people surprised. The rpi sos was trash and RU ended up losing to a mediocre Michigan which already gave the Big 10 two bids. Also there was a stunning lack of quality wins
The overconfidence on the board about making the tournament anyway after a loss last night was stunning but not surprising. SOS always matter no matter what ncaa sport
Its a hard lesson for the program and schedule makers. It was an incredible memorable season but you have to rake care of business and never let some committee in a room decide it
Think the losses to Princeton and Seton Hall really really hurt. No great wins to offset the damage there.Get a clue. We were expected to finish at the bottom of the conference with a major rebuild.

Everything you say is true. But it is not a formula for an at-large bid.Get a clue. We were expected to finish at the bottom of the conference with a major rebuild. You don't schedule tough OOC in that scenario as you want to build a winning culture. We overachieved to even be in the convo.
Agreed.Think the losses to Princeton and Seton Hall really really hurt. No great wins to offset the damage there.
Sure it it. The formula was to win more. Had we beaten SHU and Princeton, that may have been enough. You don't think RPI during a rebuild schedule planning.Everything you say is true. But it is not a formula for an at-large bid.
Yep - we were all excited about Maryland getting knocked out but that came back to bite us in the ass... as you said, if MD wins the tourney, we are in and Michigan is out - simple as that. Of course that also would have happened if we took care of business yesterday. Still an absolute shame and seems very unfair.The Big Ten is viewed as a mediocre conference only worthy of two slots.Michigan upsetting Rutgers and Maryland not winning tournament left Rutgers out as a final selection.
Except that the guys that do this for a living are saying they are shocked that Rutgers did not get in. I don't think it helps that no one from the Big Ten is on the selection committee. Definitely some funny business Happening Here.Why are people surprised. The rpi sos was trash and RU ended up losing to a mediocre Michigan which already gave the Big 10 two bids.

Bill shitAgreed.

We also led the nation in runs scored and finished 1 game behind MarylandWe finished 2nd in the B1G and went to the tournament finals. I don’t want to hear about SOS from the analyst if nerds.
We got effed having to play a game at 3 in the morning. F the NCAA
Look at the OOC schedules for the two schools. Rutgers Athletics continues to play just horrific OOC schedules in most sports.How is Maryland the 15 seed but Rutgers can't make it in a field of 64?
Maryland went 18-5 in the B1G, while Rutgers finished 2nd just 1.5 games behind them at 17-7.
Maryland had a 45-12 overall record while Rutgers finished 45-14. Rutgers went 3-0 in the B1G Conference tournament before losing in the championship game and had one of the most powerful offensive teams in the country.
How the hell are they not in the tournament?
blah blah.... lame excuse for people looking for lame excuses...Look at the OOC schedules for the two schools. Rutgers Athletics continues to play just horrific OOC schedules in most sports.
Strength of schedule was horrible. Losses to SHU and Princeton. 1 Quad 1 win all season. 1-3 vs Mich, 1-2 vs UMd, and 0-1 vs Coastal Carolina, teams that did make it in.How is Maryland the 15 seed but Rutgers can't make it in a field of 64?
