They’re not going to consider it a win! They’re not going to change Rutgers record.
FYI Aaron confirmed they are taking into account the fact that the BIG said the basket should not have counted.
so when Brad counts meaningless Q1 and 2 wins by Nevada and Arizona State and USC how does that factor in
at 18-14, Rutgers record is very sloppy. Its easy to dismiss with the few bad losses and terrible non conference sos
at 19-13 its not as easy.....6 games over 500 vs 4 games over 500
plus would have 6 Q1 wins, if we count Ohio State for schools like Michigan and Penn State and Wisconsin on their resume why not Rutgers
The way it reads is "they will consider the controversial loss", not "they will consider it "A" controversial loss" as part of the resume. That's a positive. It sure beats "we will not consider the controversial loss".
Oh Rah Rutgers Rah?!?!?! And you don't want Rutgers to continue an NCAA streak when we RARELY ever danced in the past? You are insane. And I have to ask, how much of a Rutgers fan are you? Am I correct that in your world, the hard work each and every player put in over the past year (and the fantastic effort and start to the season) should not be rewarded with a chance to travel and spend at least one last time to compete together because they have not played well over the past few weeks? Wow....just wow.
Again, I agree to disagree. Don’t think it’s a big deal. Win Thursday. That’s it
there is a difference in upper level Q1 wins and lower level Q1 wins, yes those are seperated but the bottom line is a Q1 loss would possibly be considered as a Q1 win..yeah that is pretty ****ing important at least to me
Well I will go a step further and declare anyone with common sense and can read would consider this news only positive. There is no negative. As to Greene’s conspiracy theories , let me opine what this news means , it means we are already in the bracket as either a 10 seed or a protected 11 ( no Dayton ) . They hold their first meeting on Wednesday on the first day of games in the BIG conferences and decide the locks . Then Thursday to Saturday they decide the bubble.
If we were to lose we can get dropped down to Dayton so when they get questions about Rutgers they can say we already had them in the field and losing to a tough Michigan team dropped them to Dayton.
Anyone not understanding how positive this news is has their head up their —-.
To the poster saying the only reason Ohio State is still a Quad 1 is because their win over Rutgers, you are incredible naive and clueless. Ohio State was supposed to be at the top half of the BIG 10 and has an NBA freshman. They are still 63 in the NET and that is despite a 9 game losing streak and losing 10 of 12. They would definitely still be Quad 1 giving us another Quad 1 win.
There is a ton of positive today and the shitty negative posters that can take this as negative and not understand the significance is absolutely mind boggling
Disagree. Essentially they are considering it a win without “officially” changing Rutgers record. I think Aaron’s tweets make that pretty clear. Unsure why so many people are struggling with this. As to whether RU still has to win on Thursday in order to get in, that’s a different consideration… although the fact that the NCAA is getting ahead of this might bode well for us regardless of Thursday’s result.
Yea this probably just gives me false hope lol. Going to make Friday-Sunday even worse now after the L.
I believe the majority of this board (including myself) can't see this team winning on Thursday, so we're just looking ahead to Sunday already and what the chances are.
Yes . I think that means rutgers is penciled in , regardless of losing to Michigan Thursday.
I guess we have to wait for basketball season to be over for you to stop being an ass.
The original Breitman post was worded oddly.
Once he clarified this is overwhelmingly POSITIVE.
This board last season: it’s not about the metrics. It’s about the eye test
This board this season: it’s more about the metrics than the eye test.
I think the eye test is what’s going to doom RU. And this news does very little in terms of that. We still struggled pretty badly against a bit so good OSU team

Agree with this on some level as the body of work, in conference, would still be 19 games (10-9). Thus, unofficially at least, it's an above .500 conference record and one less Q1 loss.

You do no
Are you just stubborn. They issued an apology not because a missed call on the baseline. They issued the apology and statement because it was a clear violation when someone steps outside the court on their own and jumps back in and touches the ball first , and Rutgers would have been awarded the ball up 2 with less than 1 second or with 1 second left . You cannot see but everyone else in the world would declare that a Rutgers win. There is a reason Jay Bilas on GAMEDAY mentioned that for a month and why the BIG 10 network for a month when we we’re in 2nd place saying that game was the difference from us being closer to Purdue. It was hammered home for 2 months. Then when the refs blew the call at the end of Duke / Virginia costing Duke the win , the first thing Bilas said was remember the Rutgers/ Ohio State game.
Things happen and consequences result when something is done wrong. This is an acknowledgement that they have the ability and will likely correct it if it comes down to it.
The statement just came out today , head in the sand. Plus a majority 67/81 have us in today as either a 10 or 11 seed and some even 9. So your point is really not anything of consequence
Of course it’s not anything of consequence. Do you think the committee is taking into account anyone’s opinions on a message board?
I was called clueless cause I don’t think what Brietman reported (and keep in mind there was no official “statement” as you claim) will have an impact. Professional bracketologist Brad Wachtel also doesn’t think this news will have any impact. Which is why I ask is he clueless too?
And Iowa lost twice to a "not so good" Nebraska team.
Some matchups just don't work out well.
That is why the entire body of work counts.
We have played poorly of late.
But we are 4-3 vs. the top 4 in the Big Ten including wins AT Purdue, AT Northwestern and AT MSG.
We have some big positives as well as some big negatives.
Couldn’t agree more. Big positives and big negatives.
I’m taking this as a positive. We could use all the good we can get
Yes he is. This news can only be viewed as positive and if Brad thinks it is neutral news he is clearly wrong and trying to justify his all negative tweets about Rutgers since the Minnesota game. BAC does bracketology and I am sure it impacts his evaluation. Otherwise , why would a statement be leaked ahead of time if it had no consequence. They are getting ahead of the questions that will come if we lose to Michigan and make the tourney , they will say we already had them in and we slid them to Dayton plus we gave them the benefit of the doubt with the Ohio State game and Quad implications. Bracketology guys focus intently on Quad 1 , 2 records and this statement clearly changes that. I am already tweeting at Brad that he is wrong. Which wouldn’t be the first or second time I have told him that he was.
Nothing was leaked. No statement was put out. And frankly I don’t think this is quite newsworthy.
I’ve been saying since that game that the committee knows what happened. Why wouldn’t they take what happened into account? It’s there job to take everything into account….this isn’t quite breaking news.
Agree to disagree on this.
I love Brad, but he's downplaying it for this exact reason. He's been all over RU the last week with our recent struggles. He doesn't want to shy away from his statements now even with this news.
What would be the point of the committee making this statement unless they are actually taking it into consideration? They easily could have just said "we consider it a lost no matter what". They didn't.
Please stop talking
The committee doesnt get capsule results
They get a team sheet
That they will be given a footnote on what happened in a loss is a BIG deal
Yes . it was leaked . And they aren’t going to have an official statement on something they wanted leaked
Except that we’re your thoughts and thinking that would be fair and what a committee member doing their diligence should have been aware of but just maybe they forgot because it happened in December and are just looking at records and Quad wins on the team sheets and not scrutinizing every game.
This information from Aaron confirms that the Committee is well aware of the RU/ Ohio state outcome and also how it changes records , Quad 1 wins , etc. Huge news.
Barring a really bad loss to Michigan, a lot Bid stealers or upsets, we should get into Dayton at a minimum. And yes, we deserve to be in the tournament. While the Minnesota loss was a collapse, the loss to them or Nebraska doesn’t look as bad. Wisconsin squeaked by at Minnesota. And Nebraska’s win at Iowa was huge.
Being selected for the tournament means better than other teams being considered, so yes, even now we are better than Pitt, Mississippi St, etc. & we swept Penn St & beat Wisconsin on the Road…
& if we get to Dayton, we will win, we will be looser & winning will get confidence back..

What do you think was the implication of negating their buzzer-beater?
They should be well aware. I hope committee members didn’t “forget” about this game. I doubt they did.
The fact there really hasn’t been a peep about this from other local guys….it’s not very huge. Again…I think this was pretty accepted that they’d take what happened at the end of the OSU game into account cause that’s there job
What do you mean negate it? It was not negated. The big ten admitted they blew a call. That’s it. They blow a lot of calls each game which impact the game.
They made a statement about this one cause it was in the news and happened at the end of the game. That’s it
