If we were undefeated at the RAC, that would have deserved a banner. But no other school will hang a banner for NCAA 2020. Neither shall we.

Did you read my previous post? We led the nation in home wins.
What should have happened first was for the NCAA to hold Selection Sunday if for no other reason than to give closure to all of the teams and players. 68 schools and fan bases would have felt some degree of satisfaction after having the rest of their season canceled.
Then RU could hang up the banner. But as usual, the NCAA missed an opportunity to make a lot of people happy.
Hi, I posted a thread saying we should hang a banner. It was deleted and then I started getting notifications about this thread, which I've never posted in. I thought maybe you merged the threads, but my post isn't here. What gives?No banner. Every team across the country got robbed of a chance to participate.
I'm proud of our guys and the results. We had a great season by our traditional standard, but programs that have success don't hang banners for 20 win seasons (and this was really only 19 if we are being honest).
Pikiell has bigger things in mind here. When we get our shot, then we can recognize that accomplishment. Till then, let's hold off on hanging laundry in the rafters
"Participation trophy?" We won 20 games playing a Big Ten schedule. That's a real accomplishment that any serious observer agrees would have merited an NCAA Tournament bid.No participation trophies / no banner. When we make it next year, hang it up there!
Perhaps we can use the likeness of the PSU player the video team always replayed on the video board at the RAC.we should make a commemorative bobble-head
Whether it’s a 20 win for the year banner or something to that effect, give the kids on this team that made us so proud something to always remember
The banner should be “2019 / 20 season” and have our overall record of 20-11 and our conference record of 11-9
Every player and coach name on banner as well
No banner. It was a great year and the start of bigger things, but as much as the team was "special", we should not lower ourselves to put up a banner.
Maybe if we had gone undefeated at home we could have put one up saying just that, but because we did not, I don't think anything at all should go up. Coach has much bigger goals and the banners will follow.
Best of Luck,
Groz
Undefeated at home would be a great accomplishment but it wouldn’t deserve a banner either.
Hobbs is making the wrong decision.Again, Hobbs already said they’re not hangin one so it’s really a moot point.
Sorry brother...I have no idea. I'm back working at the hospital now, barely have time to check in let alone moderate right now.Hi, I posted a thread saying we should hang a banner.

Stay Safe BK ! Thanks for your service during these difficult times !Sorry brother...I have no idea. I'm back working at the hospital now, barely have time to check in let alone moderate right now.
Really, what would the banner say? 2019-2020, the year we thought we would make the tournament?Hobbs is making the wrong decision.
No worries. Thanks for all you do! Stay safe.Sorry brother...I have no idea. I'm back working at the hospital now, barely have time to check in let alone moderate right now.
We could also hang a banner that Rutgers MBB was the NBA Champions too!Conference tournaments would have had a big impact on NCAA selections. They didn't have them either. Why not hang a banner declaring RU Big Ten tournament champions? This is nonsense talk.
Itd be a total loser/participation trophy move to hang anything for this season. No thanks. Banners should only be hanged for winning titles
Why not a banner saying something like "20 wins, 2019-20." Simple, factual, to the point, and a great way to honor the coaches & players who made this special season happen.
Let’s just hope it’s not a high water mark like 2006 for Football.I don’t understand your obsession with the banner. No one is going to forget this season with what happened. Everyone will remember this was the season they broke through. There’s no specific accomplishment worthy of a banner.
That would be a lot like you calling yourself a moderator.We could also hang a banner that Rutgers MBB was the NBA Champions too!
I'm not obsessed with it at all. This isn't Rutgers claiming to have won something that we didn't, like UCF in football or FSU in basketball. There is no dispute whatsoever that RU would have made the tournament after the Purdue win. But even with that in mind, we could still just say "20 WINS" and list the year on the banner. Then nobody could mock Rutgers or say it's a participation trophy. We're simply honoring this team for what they accomplished and ensuring it's remembered not just 5 years from now, but 50.I don’t understand your obsession with the banner.

Dude... enough with your obsession. No Team in the NCAA will be doing that. NO ONE CARES that we got 19 wins ... the 20th win was vs a D2 team ... JUST STOP already. We get that we would have made the tourney ... but alas CV19 killed sports across the globe. that banner would make us look so Bush league. We need to act like we've been there before and celebrate when it actually happens.I'm not obsessed with it at all.
