Agreed. While this board (like any) is a little nuts sometimes, tonight is not the night to judge it. We may have just watched this team gag up an NCAA tournament berth to a 1-16 B1G team in 70 seconds.i dont think its unreasonable...we choked a 10 point lead to the one of the worst Big 10 teams ever with 70 seconds to play and did so with a senior roster. Its not like we choked a 10 point lead at Iowa.
Its not unreasonable to have expectations. Some years there will be rebuilding..next year maybe is that year but when you put your ncaa hopes in jeopardy with a bad loss like this while you had bench players who were soft at charmin when they were in the game singing Africa like the game was in the bag, well then the board will be salty tonight

Huh?
This isn’t and shouldn’t have been a “rebuilding year”.
Losing Geo and Ron was big but we have enough talent and experience on this roster (albeit maybe just enough) to get back to where we were the last 2 years.
Anything short of that is a disappointment imo.
What does OP expect after having an epic loss to one of the worst teams in the Power 5 and suddenly putting your tournament hopes in jeopardy?
Come on. This was as brutal and excruciating a loss as you will possibly see in the sport of basketball. Let people be upset.…seriously.
Heaven forbid we ever have a full rebidding year …
If the board isn't going to meltdown after this choke job then when?
How about talking baskerball without sone of the crap being mentioned ???
Big difference….
Ok?There is a diffeenxe bwtween a meltdown …and some the venom on this forum
I’m pretty much done posting …because , for what the kids put into being on the court , they don’t deserve
Basketball criticism…have at it
Ad hominem …I’m out
This.I came on the board late tonight after watching on a delay and honestly it's pretty tame compared to what I was expecting.
The criticism I'm reading is fair and justified. Then again I have a bunch of trolls on ignore so maybe I'm missing some of the nonsense you're referring to.
Hey, look on the bright side. Maybe we'll squeak in as an 11 seed, somehow end up in Albany and go on a little run!
He’s probably just surprised because it’s usually so tame hereIf the board isn't going to meltdown after this choke job then when?
I dont know most of the criticism is fair and not personal attacks. Its alot of stuff people have felt has been going on but the board doesnt like to criticize..there are some major issues with this roster
People do come unglued but you are understating how bad the end of that game was. That's an order of magnitude less likely comeback than RU at PSU was. That doesn't even out any time soon.There have always been issues with this roster
Wake up!!!
We have seven players …and one is out and now it’s 6
This is why we are a solid tongood team …and not a great team.
For every Minnesota , there is a PSU comeback
For Purdue , there was Miami on the road
We forget we got Indiana without drew , but then can’t discuss we lost mag
There is highs and lows in this meat grinder …and we get way too unglued when something negative happens

Okay I agree the personal attacks on players don’t belong on the board.
But getting back to your OP - this isn’t and shouldn’t be a “rebuilding year”.

I didn’t say this was a rebuilding year
What I have said was this is a thin roster since day one and it requires staying healthy to thread the needle
And you just made my point
Go ask any PSU hoops fan about the game from their perspectives …and they would call that game a meltdown of biblical proportions
Perspectives change depending on the hat you wear and the lenses you choose you use
As much as a meltdown people says we has ..no one wants to credit minny for hanging around and making tough shots ???
Sure , we made mistakes , but they were also good enough to hit four three in the end game
People need to look at it both ways ….
I don't mean it as a matter of perspective. I mean if you look at actual estimates of how likely it is to happen, PSU was like 3% at the lowest point and this was like 0.3% at the lowest point. This isn't actually that relevant to anything, as only the final state matters. But it impacts the reaction. The more sure people are of victory the more shocked and angry they'll be when it doesn't happen.And you just made my point

I don't think message board meltdowns directly impact future winning.You are every reason from an alum/fan standpoint that RU sucked for decades. If you don’t demand excellence, you don’t get it. Time to expect more.

exactly...shack i love you but you posted about a rebuilding year and that does not make sense, what does that have to do with tonight
Scarlet Shack is not on the team. He won't be getting any trophies from the NCAA, participation or otherwise.Then good for you, be happy as an also ran. Hopefully for you, the ncaa starts to hand out participation trophies. Oh, and carry on being a schmuck.

Not by posting angrily on message boards.Let me put it this way; do donors and alums impact a program?

Insofar as holding the programs to high expectations they do. RU fans have been ok with losing for way too long. The reverse reaction via $ and voice puts pressure on administration to react accordingly. If no one cares, why should they? RU fans need to demand excellence, not be ok with mediocrity, which has been done for decades and why RU has had very minimal success.
