So much good press that could be gone with a loss. A chance to steal a winnable game on the road. A two round bye in the Big Ten tournament..I hope we don’t blow it.
So Nervous for Iowa

The good press won't be gone with a loss. Stop being a drama queen
Oh please. Stop acting like you’re the only fan who doesn’t feel the way I do. You who melt down during the first eight minutes of a game if we are not playing well.
You just said if we lose we blew something..what are we blowing..this is a house money game
Winning is tremendous
Losing does not ruin or kill anything

Drop the game tonight but take care of Nebraska and Purdue and the good press will still be alive and well
Better to maintain momentum.
I thought it was house money too but changed my mind. People think it’s a fluke we are in the Top 25. “Oh they got in and couldn’t handle it.”
Let’s handle it.
So you're really nervous for Rutgers in the Iowa game? Not Iowa?
Losing to #19 on the road is not a bad loss..yes if we lose by 20
We will lose games this year. Iowa is very good. This board has been guilty of downplaying how good they are
I hope we win because we can win tonight but it will take an A game

Well shoot, it’s ok to have the jitters but you do realize this league is insanely good...hell, even MSU got walloped on the road.
Even if we lose big so what? Unless you truly believe we are built on smoke and mirrors relax, OP.
Because we’re not. At this point barring some bizarre bitch slap back to an alternate reality, this team is good enough to win many more games.
So the way I look at it is the rest of the season is being played with house money! Why? Because not one poster on these boards would’ve ever thought back in November we’d be playing as a ranked team on the road against against a ranked Iowa with a 14-4 record! Or that we’d go 2-1 without Geo. Or that JY ALMOST had us a road win against Illinois....and on and on....

As a fanbase we are not there yet mentally.
If we start believing we should win all the time , please don’t stop us. A lot of the old-timers don’t know what it’s like to win, don’t bring down the group who goes into every game expecting to win. That’s how program expectations explode and stay high

Why would Penn State winning matter to our game. You are off the deep end drama queen.
We are playing on the road against a team ranked higher than us. We are supposed to lose tonight. If we should somehow find a way to win, it will be a huge win.
The way Iowa shoots the 3, and with Garza inside, how the heck have they ever lost a basketball game
Bro we were a 5.5 dog for a reason. A penn state win doesn’t change anything. Still tons of games left. A win tonight would be huge. A close loss would be alright.
there was no shame in losing tonight against a really good Iowa team
Man, expectations have sky rocketed. Some people are considering a loss to number 19 on the road as a wtf.
Lol... It's just @RUSCFORMERLYRULOU being himself.... We failed the Illinois test in his eyes and then got ranked a week and half later. LMFAO
Agree with the no shame comment. But if we were a “normal” program - in other words, every once in a while making the dance -this wouldn’t sting so much. I know that we have the talent and the coaching to get there, but we are Rutgers.
Dwelling on what happened in the past prior to the build and progression that Pike has implemented is a pointless exercise. The core of this roster is full of Sophomores and we appear to be ahead of schedule in the progression.
It’s called perspective. A trip to the NCAA this year means that everything has changed. So I want to grab wins when we cAn.
