with the anticipated late finish and having to get up early for work, there will not be any recap til probably tomorrow night so someone else will have to pick up the slack.

If the game is close and exciting and we play well, but don’t win, can I post that I enjoyed the game greatly, despite the unhappy ending? Or is this expression of my healthy perspective going to give my fellow fans agita or whatever, in their moment of extreme emotional distress? 😁

well I think half the board is expecting a loss so I think any board meltdown will be kept to a minimum. Bring your joy!

Unless you can’t sleep because it’s such an incredible exciting victorious performance.

TBH, I really don’t know what to expect. There’s a boatload of potential in this team. But it also has some maturing to do.

there are valid concerns but equally valid causes for optimism. I’m excited to see how the team responded to the embarrassing loss last game.

 

[bac2therac]

Also it looks like game won't start til more like 10:45-10:50

 

[Scarlet Shack]

We get This done

 

[biazza38]

No idea how, but these games seem to last longer and longer

You’ll need artificial stimulants to stay up so late.

Say it ain’t so. I will stay up with anticipation.

 

[GotEmmm]

Did this game actually start at 8 pm? Because this is crazy long if so

 

[NBHPRU]

No idea how, but these games seem to last longer and longer

Yet they schedule 2 hour slots for some games (like our next game) and others for 2.5 hours. How often do any men's college basketball games end in under 2.5 hours, and especially when they are televised?

 

[RU to the Core]

So I guess we’ll miss the first 5 mins of the game.

 

[RU Mike73]

Whenever we have late game, count on it not starting anywhere near stated time. This absolutely sux. I hope UH Bama goes to OT. Fvck em all.

 

[ScarletDave]

You just know OT is coming. Typical for Rutgers game. Didnt expect a sports game this year starting later than the USC football game, but here we are.

Also, this is a reminder that this tournament, no matter what happens, is as excellent a preparation for March Madness that there is out there, next to Maui

 

[RU Mike73]

So I guess we’ll miss the first 5 mins of the game.

Are we on same court?

Won’t start for 45 minutes.

 

[ScarletDave]

So I guess we’ll miss the first 5 mins of the game.

Yep, in a first of it’s kind, 2 games will take place on the same court. Look out for Cliff to start blocking our shots while we’re not even playing him

 

[RU to the Core]

Since this is all in Las Vegas does our fame not start at 10:30?

 

[ClassOf02]

Need a buzzer beater here Houston….please.

OT….because of course.

 

[RU to the Core]

Bc we’ll miss the whole first half basically since this is now OT

 

[jkernpop]

It was always going to be OT. How does this stuff always happen to us…

 

[GotEmmm]

Jesus Christ, wtf man.

 

[RU Mike73]

OT, perfect. Fvck this.

 

[NickRU714]

Are we on the same court so we'll start 15ish min after this game?

 

[newell138]

Worst possible scenario

 

[KK1827]

Is this like a tourney where our tip time wont be until 20-30 mins after the conclusion of the prior game? If so, our game aint starting til like 11:15 the earliest and im probably just gonna go to bed

 

[NickRU714]

I'm going to make a coffee. Be back in a minute.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

They play on same court. Just gotta wait it out. Nothing will be missed.

 

[RU Mike73]

No game follows this on same court. Correct?

Tip probably around 11:20-25pm EST

Glad I'm retired.

 

[DirtyRU]

Same court.

 

[ClassOf02]

Yes, correct. We will not miss any of our game. But our game will be severely delayed. Go get a coffee everyone (mine happens to taste like wine).

 

[RU to the Core]

I’m cracking a beer. Wasn’t going to but F it.

 

[FrankZ]

5 OTs penned in

5 OTs penned in

Get your hat ready.

 

[RU Mike73]

Bullsh!t for 2 east coast fan bases.

 

[ScarletDave]

Alabama seems to have this in hand. Surely there’s no way Houston can come back now and send it to 2 OTs

No one has ever come back from 4 with 80 seconds left, it's a lock.
