Losing 7 of last 9. Losing At minny in dramatic fashion . This team will go down like the 2007 Mets. Sad . Sports is cruel . It was a choke job for the ages.
This is the thread you start after the team's disappointment? They didn't choke. Were 2-3 in the last five, with wins on the road, won by double digits against Michigan and gave Purdue a scare. Try supporting the team instead of coming up with ways to knock them.

The team didn't choke. Minnesota game was a fluke. also the team is offensively challenged which gave us a small margin for error ....that's life. The team did their best. Nothing to be ashamed of..
The Minnesota game was not a fluke, it was a total choke job.

Don’t lose 7 0f 9 !! Win one more and we are in
not according to Katz

and if you are right, why even have a NET if we're going to be ~30 spots better than 2 teams that got in?

classic Rutgers fan trying to blame themselves for getting pissed on

This team busted their *** all season, got effed by the refs costing them pretty much two games and had one of their starters go down with almost no depth and still busted their asses. Gtfo

Minny game was serendipity for them, crazy things sometimes happen in a BB game, how about that bank corner shot from Iowa couple of years ago we lost at the buzzer. Team played real hard all year and just came up short, no choke job! Btw, future is bright with the established culture and solid recruiting.

I agree that we got screwed, but we had a chance to take care of things ourselves and didnt do it. We left it in the hands of the committee and they boned us.

I don’t know what world you’re living in if you can’t see this as an epic choke

just a total screw job.

The Minny game was a choke. No one can deny that.
We play in the Big Ten where anybody can beat you on any given day. We got beat down the stretch. We have to get better and build depth. Simple as that.

The guys were busting their asses and didn't get it done.

No we didn't. You lose a ten point lead in two min to the glorified HS team Minnesota, you don't belong in the ncaa

Bottom line is the loss at Minnesota killed us. But no way NC State deserved a bid over us with only one quad win and an NET rating of 67. We were NET 40 with 5 quad 1 wins - 6 if you count the theft at Ohio state! Too much love for the ACC considering they had six teams with NET ratings of 125 or higher and the big 10 had only 1. The top half of the ACC just fattened up on the 6 terrible teams at the bottom. Its as if we got to playing Minnesota 10 times.

i know you're prone to hyperbole...but that shouldn't decide the entire season

despite the minny choke job (yes it was), we still did enough to get in...Rutgers self-hate and all

call this what it is...a complete screw job.

Let's face it - they dropped the ball. Nice effort vs Michigan and it will never be forgotten. Rooting for them in the NIT and will be there. Finish off Caleb's legacy the right way, and this era. But that was a rough collapse. No doubt Mag injury was a big part of it. Go back to even before rhe season - Mag was a big reason why this team might have not missed a beat despite losing key stars. Not on the stat sheet offensively, but in a myriad of other ways.

Still, losing to MN was unacceptable. Especially in the fashion it was done in. Michigan and Nebraska at home were also a very poor showing. Plenty of blame to go around. Not saying Bash the team or don't root for them. It's not the end of the world. But yeah, tough way to end the season and era.

It did. It literally decided the entire season. That's the reality of where we are
