Seriously, chill out

so I should be mad because some teenagers playing sports ended the season on a down note? They lost one of their teammates in an ugly way. But they should just block it out and move on? I guess they didnt. Some of them hit a wall and didn’t get over the hump. They picked a bad time to do that and to lose their edge and swagger that we saw a month ago. They peaked at the wrong time. Professional teams have that happen. They are kids. So they are allowed to have a lousy year but peak in the tournament (year 1+2 of pike) but not the other way around?

I know you might think I’m making excuses but we are rooting for a team of teenagers. And now we are supposed to be upset all night and for tomorrow? Why? Or we should doubt their abilities now for the next 8 months or be worried about pike? I saw a coach tonight who cared and was trying what he could to get his team to win. They laid an egg. They might have legit reasons for that and maybe no excuses too. But to be this upset over a game you didn’t play in makes no sense to me.

It was fun watching this team this year. It was the funnest season in years and next year will only be better. Coach has 2 scholarships to fill and these kids have an offseason to get healthy and work on their games.

It will be okay. They’ll make the tournament someday. And that’s for the coach and the kids to decide and figure out.

Don't forget there are always shifts during the offseason as some transfer out. Not saying it will but it usually happens.

What about the other schools that are recharging their roster? Long road ahead.

Poorly coached game, horrible strategy against a team that was 6 deep in foul trouble.

Awful.

Sorry. That's a patriot league attitude. I didn't ask Rutgers to go big time and join the big ten and go stinkola for most of it (4 years) so far.
I'm not investing thousands of dollars to watch Lehigh and bucknel. This is supposed to be big time college ball. Not some nice little post high school rec league.
Teenagers..like 13 and 14 or 19, 20, and 21 year olds? Come on. Sorry. Ill root for our team but not accepting this constant joy of less than mediocrity.

very well said...ive been following ru for 40yrs now...nothing really shocks me as far as performance goes....its funny to read some of these over the top posts on here... the coach stinks blah,blah..then, the coach is great the next game . same with the players...i sure do hope the kids don't read some of these posts..this has been a fun season. that's for sure.....the irony is the first game of the season the team played lights out. they looked like nat.champs.....the last game of the year should have been played like the first game, and vice versa....played this game like a bunch tentative freshmen
funny that they crushed a team that's going to the dance...it's a funny game
and a roller coaster season...can't wait till next season, and see what a honest to goodness true point guard looks like...but,.this is ru after all, and i'll have to temper my expectations..
