This is a must win/must-can't-lose game if we want to maintain our chances of an at-large NCAA bid.

I know we have a good RPI due to our strength of schedule and ranked wins, but the 6 loss number is bloated and scares me. We cannot lose to a winless (in the B1G) Michigan team at home. Period.

Up 3-0 versus a bottom dweller at home in total control and ends in a tie … could have been worse , but sucks to see any hope of a league title or semi final home game go out the window

Yeah, unbelievable, blew a 3-0 lead with 30 minutes left. I was at an event last night and couldn’t watch, but I checked my phone and saw we were up 3-0 and figured it was over.

But we’re Rutgers, so I should’ve known better.

{Sigh}

Watched the 1st half. Total domination. Michigan didn't have a shot on goal. RU up 2-0. How the hell you could be up 3-0 in the 2nd half
& end up tied for a 3-3 final is beyond me.

Rutgers coaches have to take most of the blame for not keeping on the pressure to score.

Were you there? We had over 25 shots, 11 in the second half, to Michigan's 8 total shots. There was plenty of offense. I attribute the tie to a couple factors - loss of a several starters to injury, tired legs due to games a bit closer together than we would have liked, and an uncharacteristic error by our goalie that allowed the 3rd goal.

Don’t care. You CAN NOT blow a 3-0 lead at home to a BAD team. Period. The blame goes on ALL involved.

I'm not saying they should not have won - they definitely should not have blown a 3-0 lead. I'm saying there was plenty of offense and the coaches did NOT have them back off the pressure to score as some have suggested. I was simply, having been at the game, sharing my observations on why this happened and it was NOT lack of offensive pressure. It was extremely frustrating as a fan to be there. Hoping they can still redeem themselves and make some noise in the Big Ten tournament and beyond. This is a very solid RU team.
