We can all relax now, we’re in.
Get off the ledge...lol.
RU fan philosophy.
Stop complaining, haven’t you watched the last two decades, this is great.
So we lost, all we have to do is beat a Minnesota team that’s regressed as much as we have.
Geez, I hope the their center is coming back.

Bracketology was updated this morning and has us an 8 seed . With no additional bad losses possible I see us as 11 seed at worst

Its the 13-12 record that will be the issue. Its the possibility that a 2nd loss to Minnesota in the Big 10 tourney would knock us out.

The seedings by Lunardi and Palm currently have us 9/8. Its notvlast night's disaster that will put Rutgers in trouble. Its the Minnesota loss

So now Minnesota because the most important game in history

Probably not in the top 100 Bac, according to some.
We always have game 7 the first round of the tournament.

As predicted, Nebraska moved into Q2 on the road. Minnesota barely hanging onto Q1 road.

Nebraska at 122 is pretty good. They might be able to sustain staying Q2

Nebraska is not good. They are so not good that all we had to do was be decent for stretches and we could have gotten back in this. But we were horrible on offense and defense. It’s like we though they were going to cave. Then we got smacked in the mouth and panicked and forgot any semblance of fundamental basketball on both ends. On the Nebraska side when you’re up 20 it’s easy to make shots and have fun. That’s the problem with being soft mentally for extended minutes against anyone in this league. Get back to fundamentals and get the heads right for Minnesota please.

With the Rutgers loss to Nebraska, it just gave 7 conference teams, UM, MSU, Indiana, Wisconsin, Purdue, Illinois, and PSU, an extra Q2 win. We are still 13-10, Q1 4-8 Q2 4-2 Q3 3-0, @ Minnesota game is a Q1, if Minn wins @ PSU, Minn will stay a Q1 even after a home loss to RU, 5-8, 4-2, 3-0. If NW and MSU get above 75, our resume becomes 14-10, 6-9, 4-1, 2-0, H10-4 R4-6, not bad

In 2018-19, tOSU(19-14) got in as an at large 11 seed, 4-10, 5-3, 5-1

122 Nebraska(7-17) @ 6 Iowa, @ 89 Northwestern,
89 NW(6-14) vs 29 Md, vs 122 Nebraska
77 MSU(13-10) vs Indiana, @ 2 UM, vs 2 UM Q1 4-9 Q2 3-1(7), 3-0(10)
70 Minnesota(13-12) @ 52 PSU, vs 38 RU Q1 4-10 Q2 1-1(5), 5-1(10)(NW)
57 Indiana(12-12) @ 77 MSU, @ 22'Purdue Q1 3-9 Q2 6-1(9), 1-2(10)(MSU,NW)
52 PSU(8-13) Vs 70 Minnesota, @ 28 Md,

The key is getting NW and keeping PSU above 75 and Nebraska above 135 knowing they can't get in without auto bid. It eliminates home Q3 losses by Minn and Indiana to NW, while getting MSU back above 75 with Minnesota and Indiana, best case

Indiana and Michigan St have the better resumes. Minnesota needs work. PSU win, RU loss, 5-10, 1-2, but would need a Q2 win and Q1 loss in B1G tourny for 5-11, 2-2 to have a chance, NO team got an at large with Q1 AND Q2 under .500, like 5-6, 3-4 in 2018-19, Q1 under .500, Q2 over .500, Q1 .500, Q2 over, Q1 over, Q2 close to .500, Iowa St, a 6 seed with Q1 8-7, Q2 3-4 but got upset by 11 seed tOSU.

Play in(At large) St John's(21-12) Q1 5-7 Q2 5-3(10), Q3 3-2*(13)

Where does 4-8, 4-2, 3-0 fit at 13-10?
Kind of like an Ole Miss resume at 8, which we currently stand.
If the B1G falls right and we win @Minn, 6-9, 4-1, 2-0 before B1G Tourny seed jumps much higher, If you were wondering, I had all this written out before the cancellation of the season for seeding purposes last year.

1 seeds in NIT
UNCGr(28-6) *2-6 2-0* 6-0
Alabama(18-15) *3-10 7-3* 5-2
TCU(20-13) *2-9 7-4* 6-0
Indiana(17-15) *6-9 3-6* 2-0, double losing record

I'll guarantee a few people in the B1G are running scenarios to get in as many as they can for this exact reason.


"Units” are what the NCAA calls its tally of wins, automatic qualifiers and at-large bids that determine how much conferences are paid.

The value of each unit will be $280,300 when payments are made in 2019 and $282,100 in 2020.

From 1997 through 2018, the Big Ten Conference has been paid the most at $340.4 million, while the Southwest Athletic Conference has earned $25 million, nearly the minimum it can earn given that all leagues make money from their teams that qualify automatically.

I guess that's some good news following last night's debacle. But honestly, this team needs to win again to try to get itself together mentally. Defense just has to be much better to start games. It has been brutal.

I mean when experts were saying we were a lock after indiana what did all of you people think that meant? A lock means if we lose by 40 to every team on our schedule we still get into the tourney. A lock doesn't mean"you're in but In a few days that may completely change". Reading comprehension crybabies.

I still think we make it even if we lose out, it just won’t be comfortable, nor will it be out of the first four game. That being said, a win either vs Minnesota or in the BTT will ensure us a round of 64 game. Just go win
