End the OOC schedule discussion.....it doesn’t matter

Agreed. This is the point I was making. OOC schedule doesn’t matter if you don’t lose to the cupcakes.
He has no more of a clue as to why we missed than anyone else. The committee basically said we didn’t get in because of Mag injury
They do the same exact thing with the CFB playoffs. They’ll just say whatever makes their choices seem better after the fact but will be inconsistent between teams.
So then conference wins don’t matter?
The whole thing just screams “we had to cap the B1G”
You lost me with committee guy said.
Rutgers didn't pass their eye test and these are the reasons they came up with to explain it. I'd have respect for them if they would actually come out and say it.
Cmon.....we are going to take the narrative that the final 8 games was the reason....?? They clearly didn't watch the games, Mag or no Mag.
Caleb strapped it up and played, Mulcahy played through stingers and everything.....this whole excuses about injuries as the reason is a joke.
The criteria and NCAA is crooked and inconsistent. Let's just call it what it is.
That's why you don't give them a reason. NC State got it because they are NC State. That is clear. Any 10 year old can figure out that is the reasoning the committee applied. Our late season collapse allowed them to look on their list of excuses and point to "injuries." The team let the season slip away in the end and the committee pounced on that to leave them out.

Might as well just leave the B1G. RU will never win a conference title in any of football, Basketball, or WBB. So we might as well leave the conference and have a better chance winning a lower conference tournament. Why be a struggling bubble team every year. You could throw the entire season and just win a conference tournament to get into the big dance. Whole system is broken.
the ncaa has specifically stressed non conference wins do matter...look there is lots of criteria...ru failed in a few of them, nc state overcame their **** schedule because they didnt lose to *** teams like Minnesota in the acc
Actually - if we “gave up” our road game at Minny so that Michigan State could play them instead we’d have been 10-9 in the league without that stupid loss.
Also for the record, I’m not sure SHU will end up being Q3 anyway. We’ll see tomorrow. Memphis won by 10 to boost their final net.

well they stopped watching after Northwestern IMO.....they didnt watch the Purdue game and the field was already selected
I yield to your knowledge.
BUT
If we had bench depth…we likely don’t lose to Temple.
We avoid the meltdown after Mag injury…including the Minny loss and likely some others.
Take away those two loses which were caused by our lack of depth….we are in are we not? With the same schedule.
Seems like root cause is depth.
That’s what I’m saying..you don’t need to schedule up..you need to win the games you are supposed to. Can’t lose to Temple, Minny, Shu, or Nebraska. The rest of our schedule with Q1/2 in conference is enough to look good on a resume
thats on Pike and he needs to be criticized as well....to have 4-5 holes on the roster every year isnt a good thing so clearly a few guys now need to leave and we need to hit the portal hard
we had too many this year...last year our wins were all upper level Q1 wins this year just one
You have no more of a clue as to why we were left out than anybody else. Last year, according to you, it was lack of road wins and NET
if we run with this, the conclusion is we do not deserve to go. Resume was sloppy. we lost 5 home games, 3 to non ncaa schools
Now that is something I agree with. The head of the committee claimed they used many more metrics than ever, yet they really did not. Really went back to just subjective choices at the end.
You can't beat all the teams we did on the road(even if we did lose other games) and not have them count for something
Best of Luck,

Huh? Your argument is Q1 and Q3 loses are equal? Are you paying any attention at all? 4 Q3 loses cost us a bid.
That’s my point when everyone keep pointing out a better OOC schedule which is not worth it. People just want to play name teams for the hype.
There is a reason football why the SEC barely plays out of state or versus big name schools.
Just win games your supposed to
The fact that Penn St was a 10 seed tells you everything about committee hatred of BIG1G
They just don’t care about quality wins apparently.
The point in scheduling tough games isn’t to give yourself an opportunity to win, it’s to protect yourself from picking up bad losses.
Pretty lame IMO.
200% how the frack can 114 of 118 independent experts have us in yet this? The NCAA is a political animal and our conference and lame duck president commissioner did NOTHING to help us.
That is not supposed to matter. It's supposed to be body of work. They continue to contradict themselves and clearly we were out before the B1G tournament even started.
Everyone's looking at this game vs that game, this schedule vs that schedule. Simple answer is they weren't giving the B1G 9 teams and the ACC 4. ESPN would go nuts about devaluing their franchise.
Our resume this year was better than last for sure plus this year there were no real bud stealers. I firmly believe that the conference was getting no more than 8 teams and Penn St (rightfully so) stole our bid. I think if they lose first round of tournament, we make it. The committee taking that much credence into Mag’s injury and saying it publicly is unacceptable. If that were the case, why were they not as accepting of loses due to PM and Caleb’s injuries
Was going to say the same thing. Hypocrisy.
Btw.. I know it was home but nobody wants to consider that Nebraska went 5-1 to finish their regular season including wins over Maryland, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
Then they lost in the first round to the other cupcake Minnesota having their one injured starter back.
