Excuses

[chrebet80]

I think we deserve to get in but if we don’t, it’s not some miscarriage of justice. We simply lost too many games to be a sure thing. Crying about it won’t be a good look.

 

[Danprusa_4]

Totally right. We did it to ourselves if we’re out.

 

[anon1753890747]

I more win, anywhere on the schedule and we would not be in this situation.
Sux if we don’t get in

 

[RUwishbone]

Are you a Jets fan. Me too expect nothing and hope, just need faith and charity to get where we really want to go

 

[The RUT]

Agreed. Not a single person has a right to complain if we don’t make it.

 

[Sweet Pea's Corner]

It's not the amount of losses it;s who we played. See Michigan,,,,#7 SOS

 

[bac2therac]

if RU does not make it they only have themselves to blame, it will not be a screw job

schools played their way in this weekend, RU had alot of warts that they didnt fix this week.....the losses to NW and Minny loom as large as the one to Lafayette

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

If RU doesn’t get in, a HUGE FAIL by Pike considering all 5 starters played significant minutes last season.

 

[WhichReligionIsRight]

Can we save this for after the selection show? This is just a hypothetical.

 

[needmorecowbell]

Lots worry about something that hasn’t happened. Positive vibes people!

 

[Knightmoves]

The RU fans habit of self loathing is rearing its ugly head again. What a surprise.

I don’t worry about anything in life until I learn the actual cold hard facts.

Couldn’t agree more. Chances are we’re just all over reacting even with the Davidson loss and we’re in regardless

Deep man. Real deep

Worst losses, imo:
- Lafayette (should never have been close)
- @UMass (late game collapse)
- @Minnesota (should have beat depleted weaker team)
- @Northwestern (missed golden opportunity)
- Maryland (just flat as hell at home against a team we should have beaten)
- @DePaul (another golden opportunity missed)

Too many "almosts".... we win one more of those 6, and we'd be a lot more confident. We win two of them, and we're talking about seeding right now instead of crossing our fingers.

Look at the other side Iowa Ohio state Penn state and Nebraska on the roaf

Something tells me you’ll be one of those people crying if we don’t make it

 

[ru66]

I think the fans are to blame,no the refs, no the icy sidewalk ,no not blaming the refs. Blame game is so typical of some of "experts ", sounds like the bitching in the threads during games-- let's hope they're wrong like usually then. In any event try not doing the dishonorable,kicking the team when they're down.But we know it will be the usual suspects.

 

[jerzeyguy]

I'm still gonna enjoy the tournament regardless. If we get in lovely.. If we don't -- you get what you deserve.

 

[bac2therac]

i made peace with this...while we are a tourney team by any eye test and by important wins, we also left the window open to be left out with just one too many mistakes and if we are left out I would be okay with it

if we get in we are a tough out and can get the sweet 16 meaning 3 wins including Dayton, lets see if we get the opportunity.

Coin flip

Yeah, if we can sneak into the tournament, we'll be a dangerous team for our seed line..... we'd likely end up with an 11/12 seed, even though we've been playing like a 6 seed the last 3 months. Unfortunately, we weren't really ready to play our first 6 games, and we dropped @DePaul (103), vs. Lafayette (319), @UMass (178) in rapid succession. Lesson learned for the team - every game counts.

 

[RUTrack94]

It’s a shame RHJ was hurt and Geo missed games early due to injuries…. If RU was any of the other teams (Mich, Indy) the argument would be key player was hurt and other best player played injured.

 

[RU MAN]

This thread is now MOOT!

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Kill the thread///

I never broke a sweat.

I would have started to worry if we didn’t make it. All is well.

Why the thread? We’re in so stop complaining about the early losses.
