its no good because they are now giving the committee a reason to either send them to Dayton or leave them off entirely. There are teams getting wins to punch their ticket of late. Its not good that there are some other Big 10 bubbles out there
GAME 30 MINNESOTA: AS OF NOW RU STILL IN BUT NCAA TOURNAMENT BID IN JEOPARDY

Not Paul's fault?!?!
No one asked cliff to break the press as a dribbler. Wtf are you talking about? Lol
If I didn't know any better, I would think we had Jesus Christ in our lineup and then go down with an injury. 8 ppg player turned our team into a dumpster fire, who knew?
for now...need them to lose to Indiana..but they are more equipped to make a big 10 run than RU is
We never play in your face perimeter D. The long 3 is a shot that’s always there and normally we’re okay with it. We shut down the interior game instead. Nobody is going to hit 3s at the rate Minny hit at during that last minute even wide open over the course of a whole game. There was one minute to go. In order to have any chance, Minny needed to hit 3s to chip away at the lead. All we had to do we trade fouls with them to wind down the clock.
you cannot say that when 4 Q3 losses are on the resume...if RU loses the next 2...yes they are in serious trouble...they can still make it but anyone declaring its a lock is talking out of their *** about it. Could happen but might now
ESPN talking about what a damaging loss this is during a break in the UCLA game.
I’m starting to have doubts about Steve’s future here. The singing of Africa was all I needed to see he has no control over this locker room. Ace will decommit shortly and we will be back to eddie Jordan days
I have no confidence in this team beating Northwestern with their asses on the line Sunday night and when we lose that game, they will limp into the B1G tournament and if they lose that game you can go buy your NIT tickets. Enjoy.
Why, why, why. let Minny roll the ball at the end!!!!
Put the bottle back in the liquor cabinet please.
That collapse was the worst two minutes of ball I can remember from is in YEARS with our ticket waiting to be punched. Totally threw it away. Sickening.
I don’t think we’re a lock even with a NW win. Are you really certain we could absorb a neutral loss to a team like Nebraska or OSU now?
At least now, no one should complain about the OSU loss anymore. The way we’ve gagged this season up is on this groups shoulders alone.
Agreed. It’s a dagger to the program. Bac, I fear the fall out will be far reaching such as to top notch talent in the future not willing to commit IN WRITING to play here. There is player rot on the roster which needs to be excised with a meat cleaver. Is Pike with his 10 year contract willing to do what is necessary? Stay tuned.
I don't think it's that bad, although you will probably not want to hear that song for a while.
I still expect to see your team in the NCAA's...
Yep, comedy of errors was the phrase I used in my thread - just so many terrible things all jam packed into a minute of futility.
I've accepted long, long ago that Paul is not a point guard.....he shouldn't be put in these high pressure levels to handle the ball and attack. If he merely takes the ball and advances it past half court, he would get fouled.
BUT.....BUT I will say again.....if you play passive offense and you are not wired to attack, you wind up overpassing the ball.....Mulcahy had NO reason to give up the ball, but he always is passive and not attacking. That is who he is as a player. It is up to the coaching staff to NOT GIVE HIM the ball in key situations against pressure.
I don't know how else to say it, but it is a ONE guard option for this current roster. And when the next team presses RU, what is the answer then?? Keep Simpson on the bench??
Something in Caleb’s head about FTs under ten seconds left.
Paul was playing poorly and making bad decisions for any player regardless of position
Cliff was never asked to break the press dribbling that's just a complete fabrication
This will be the 4th Q3 loss for Rutgers....RU will be just 11-12 in Q1/2/3
The NET is going to drop, just how much is the question. RU was 8 heading into tonight, would have stayed an 8 if they won, I need to see all the numbers tomorrow. By eyeballing RU could end up on the 10 line tomorrow they could possibly be the last 9

I said it last week and got jumped all over. This team needs to be turned over and more talent brought in. You are correct, 5 or 6 players need to go.
no one wants to say it but if he made the free throws at Ohio State that last play wouldnt have happened
Cliff finally dominates a game and we blow it, If that Cliff showed up all year we would have a few more wins.
I don’t even want to think about this team any more this season.
Lose the next two and end the suffering.

agree, to move forward with the new recruiting stars to make sure next year isnt a step back, Pike needs to hit portal offering major playing time for a senior. We have Cliff and Gavin and Mag and then alot guys coming in the following year.
Cant have stale players who do not make a difference
Cliff was awesome on offense tonight, though he could have been better on D, he let someone just make a layup on in him uncontested in the 2nd half
it takes a perfect thread the needle scenario for a comeback like this to happen. When the ball starts rolling though you cant stop it, you never want to start it because you cant stop it. Game was lost when we just didnt make a stop at the 3 previous possessions were were 9/10
When you defense is trash, this is what happens
