Scores of Interest

[lion1983]

I know there are 2 threads on the Maryland OSU game. But there are other games of interest as well:

Maryland vs OSU - now 63-25, 14 min left

Alabama 38, UNC 28 (was 31-18), 2 min left 1st half

Albany 63 Columbia 46, 11 min left

Wagner 28, Coppin St 21 at the half

Monmouth 27, Lehigh 39 at the half

Just for me, Florida 37, UVA 30 (my best friend is a UVA fan).

Alabama;s Wrightsell out for the year..tough blow for them

 

[Caliknight]

Announcer insinuating Alabama overpaid for Cliff.

Ouch!

Ouch!

That was Jay Williams. Thinly veiled ripping of Cliff.

Seton Hall are putrid. It's barely even basketball.

Allowing a god awful NJIT squad to stick around

Kenpom says they are #320 in offense and #17 in defense.

They are us from last season except somehow worse on both ends.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

let's refrain from saying anything bad about seton hall until after we play them!

We beat seton hall last year and they are us so..

Hopefully we don’t win the NIT

He tried to save it at the end but it was too late

[darkcheck]

Creighton over Kansas

 

[RUJMM78]

Creighton over Kansas

Parity and the 3 point shot will cause plenty of upsets this college season.Winning twenty regular season games will be a real challenge .Great uncertainty for NCAA bids with 17-19 wins.

 

[bac2therac]

Oregon struggled for much of the game but averted absorbing a bad loss at USC with a 68-60 win

this is awful having to care about those 4 teams. so stupid.

 

[Rutgers25]

Don’t disagree, but I’m sure other big ten schools felt and some still feel about us.

Fully agree. What is the purpose of 18 league conferences...its comical looking at ACC and Big 12 standings

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I didn't like it when we joined.....and I still don't.

Players should be paid because they are pawns, playing in games where they can get the most revenue for schools.

If this is really college athletics all games except for a few extras should be a bus ride away.

I hear ya. I also yearn for the 2-handed set shot and guys smoking on the bus.

We’ve gotten too far away from the true meaning of university athletics. We should be known as Rutgers College, taking on the likes of Rutgers-Newark, Rutgers-Camden, Rutgers-Livingston, and the Douglas College All-Stars.

Campus bus routes only, except for the occasional scrum with Princeton, FDU, Rider, and Monmouth.

Old Big East works well

 

[G- RUnit]

Just wonder how many bids the NCAA will give to the B1G. And not a complete round robin or same schedule.

Yes, I know they say conference affiliation is not a factor but still…

 

[bac2therac]

Creighton had a rough time in Vegas going 1-2 but thats a big win...they have Bama coming next week...who says you cannot schedule tough ooc

 

[bac2therac]

De paul after scheduling 7 sisters of the poor finally lost its first game going down to Texas Tech

Columbia suffers its first defeat of the year at the hands of Albany

Wagner wins

SEC goes 14-2 in the challenge with the ACC, 11 by double digits and 5 by 20 or more

ACC's catastrophic performance in the ACC/SEC Challenge might mean another frustrating Selection Sunday | Sporting News

ACC principals have complained -- loudly -- about receiving only five NCAA Tournament bids in each of the past three seasons. With the way they've performed in non-league games in 2024-25, getting five teams in the field might be an achievement.

10 school conferences where you play each other twice.

I say lets go back to 1980

Southwest, SEC, ACC, Pac 10, Big 10, throw in a Big East and that metro conference that FSU, South Carolina, Va Tech. and Fla State were in

 

[bac2therac]

Fun fact: The Metro Conference was the first conference to study the viability of a "super conference".

In 1990, Raycom Sports was commissioned to conduct a study on a conference that would have included members of the Metro, Atlantic 10, and Big East conferences. Penn State was also included in an early plan prior to them accepting membership to the Big Ten in December of 1989.

The proposed conference would have consisted of the following schools:

• Boston College
• Cincinnati
• Pitt
• Rutgers
• Syracuse
• Temple
• Virginia Tech
• West Virginia
• East Carolina
• Louisville
• Memphis
• South Carolina
• Southern Miss
• Tulane
• Florida State
• Miami

 

[fatsam98]

Penn State favored over Purdue tonight.

Not something I expected to see this season

Good for sports and geography, but some pretty dubious academic company for RU!

 

[bac2therac]

I get why but why...has Penn State really done anything this year...they have feasted on some cupcakes and lost to the only real team Clemson they played, best win is an awful Va Tech team

meanwhile I see Purdue has games lined up with Texas A&M and Auburn later this month, who said you cant schedule multiple big time games.

Is it possible people aren't sold on Purdue

 

[bac2therac]

Well they already have wins over Alabama and Ole Miss with a loss to Marquette

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Purdue seems like they have a good resume so far

If I’m not mistaken, that was the proposed “Eastern Seaboard” Conference.

 

[G- RUnit]

Maryland and PSU far better than predicted.

 

[fatsam98]

Purdue looks horrible

 

[bac2therac]

Penn State up 40-24 at half

 

[G- RUnit]

Just noticed Satellite on B1G commercial. New?
Glad it wasn’t a drone!

 

[biazza38]

Shocked by that PSU score.
Don’t know what to think of the B1G

what Im learning is that a few teams are playing some very good defense...Rutgers better learn to do it
