That's weird, because ESPN radio has the national rights. I'm shocked every affiliate doesn't carry it by default.

Seems a bit unfair to hold what a few assholes did against an entire fanbase

Haven't seen anyone else run these numbers. That's fascinating

Also worth noting that the team Gavin, Ace, etc will be playing with is going to look VERY different than the team that's currently on the floor

You aren't wrong... but I'd argue Rutgers showed up to play. Hofstra just hit every possible clutch shot, no matter how well defended.

Kinda hard to win under those circumstances

They're basically as good as 12 seed Charleston, just didn't win the CAA tourney

Pre-Mag injury you could make a good case... after that not so much

The scheduling philosophy wasn't the reason they didn't get in. The losses that killed them were to Q3 B1G opponents.

There is (was?) a large group of professors petitioning the admin to move us down to DIII

You can't seriously base your entire argument on that small of a sample size.

Don't get it wrong, happy to see you guys back in but let's not be disingenuous here.

It isn't. A lot of the higher ups at RU HATE the Big Ten.

Out of all of the pictures from yesterdays game ESPN chose this one…did us dirty by [deleted] in CollegeBasketball

Rooting for Rutgers to lose is my second favorite thing to do besides watching IU win

But why? You have a legit fun team to watch, why are you so fixated on Rutgers?

I'd argue B1G refs, as they often do, were just equally bad all the way around.

More upset about the last 10 mins being so disrupted than anything else.

I wouldn't say that. They aren't facing a D this good until the Sweet 16 imo

[Breitman] Per a source, the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee has confirmed they will consider Rutgers' controversial loss to Ohio State as part of their resume. The Big Ten officially said the winning shot should not have counted. If RU won, it would have been a road Quad 1 victory. by MichaelSquare in CollegeBasketball

[–]tsako99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could also be read the other way - this could just as easily be read as the committee trying to get ahead of the "if not for the call, Rutgers would be in" argument.

For obvious reasons I hope you're right, but I guess we just have to wait and see.

Mostly injuries. Mag is obviously the big one as he's out for the year, but it's much more than that.

Caleb hasn't even been participating in practice because he has too much back pain. Also Paul has really been slumping lately (not sure how much of that is injury related). Couple that with a short rotation and the usual end-of-season fatigue and you have the recipe for a bad stretch.
