Selection Committee and Rutgers news

if this was reversed yes at 19-12 RU is a lock right now, I get its not reversed but if i was doing my analysis at 19-12 yes it would be.
agreed...Add we aren't playing well now but you never know...Play great D and maybe we upset someone and see what happens...Gotta be in it to win it
This is my thought. They may be getting this out there so when we're sent to Dayton people aren't stunned. They are already letting people know now why.
the team sheets are all about numbers, metrics, quads, win loss, schedule, NOW THERE IS A GOING TO BE BIG ASTERIK THAT SCREAMS SEE FOOTNOTE WHERE THEY WILL EXPLAIN WHAT HAPPENED
We better not be getting set up here
It's pretty obvious what is meant by the statement, as "consider it as a loss" would be rendered nugatory given that it is already in the books as a loss. The context makes it clear it is a positive for us.
If the committee has to decide between us and other teams, ceteris paribus, this gives them something upon which to base our inclusion.

Imagine being pathetic enough to think like this.
Dave, there is literally no universe in which it would be better to not make the NCAA tournament - long term, short term or medium term - none.
You are not familiar with Aaron Breitman? Definitely recommend you follow him as an RU fan. He’s part of the media that follows the team. Always part of post game press interview session. Provides great analysis in different forms including the The Scarlet Faithful.

if the Big 10 felt so strongly why didnt they give that a consideration in the conference tournament seeding.
maybe, but OK a Q2 win is better than a loss
lol....we lose by 1, we would have won by 2, the net wasnt going to change either way
this makes a big difference, with a loss i was thinking maybe 20% chance now its at least 50/50
Leather jacket… White T-shirt, sweater vest….Devastatingly handsome
Can’t keep track of everyone haha. But this is good to know, thanks.
because it would directly (and exclusively) affect other conference members - they are not going that far. All said, I think this is better than most on here seem to want to believe. We are in the tournament (probably dayton if we lose thursday, though I still think we sneak in as the last 11 bye).
That’s fine. But I just disagree.
I think we need to win…as many bracketogolosts are saying.
Aware that we're in regardless. Committee probably made their decision prior to the game.
I doubt the committee would institute subsequent ripples if the win was awarded to us--there's only so much they can consider with the myriad scenarios of all possible teams for invitation to the tourny. When the B1G announced that the shot shouldn't have counted and we should have won the game, I suggested that rather than subverting the nature of refereeing by switching the result, the B1G could have kept the win in tOSU's column, which likely would have placated the refs union, AND awarded us a win, which would have been deferential to the actual result. It's messy when these things happen, but it can be remedied by the NCAA committee, since the regular season is all about getting into the tourny. tOSU isn't in even with the win against us, so they've got no beef with a win being assigned to us at this juncture. In fact, they'd love it if it kept Michigan out.
They were never going to change the outcome of the game….nor should they.
Missed calls happen all the time in every game…which effect the outcome of games.
The only reason the B10 made a statement was cause it was the end of the game and very noticeable.
Said this the day after the OSU game. The conference officially acknowledging this was very important.
But the big ten never announced we should have won the game. Why would they have awarded us a win?
Oh now there is a difference in high quad 1 wins and middle and low quad 1 wins ?? Is this a new metric someone like brad just came up with ?? Wtf
Couldn’t disagree more with Brad.
It’s one less loss for a team on the bubble
5 roads quad 1 conference wins is meaningful.
It moves the needle

Yes, that statement is like a Rorschach test.
Essentially they did with saying that the shot should not have counted… without officially changing the game result. From the conference view, they don’t want to establish a precedent where they reverse results of games after the fact. Would create a nightmare for the conference going forward with all the games that go down to the buzzer. Instead, they unofficially announced publicly that the officials screwed up which was very important to do so without creating additional controversy by reversing a game result.
So in Wachtel’s mind, we would have been a lock with a road win at Minnesota, but a road win at Ohio State (a better team in the metrics) wouldn’t have mattered?
Meaningless if it’s a quad 1 win for us. What’s important is that the committee consider it a win.
