Sad this thread even exists in early February.

This team is going to go down as the most disappointing in Rutgers history.

Agree we will pull off enough wins + the star power of the two will get us into this one…

The Thanksgiving tournament was awesome. Would love to see us there if we don't win the B1G tournament of course

No NIT. Just finish above .500 and we will be in the Fox Vegas tourney. With the likes of Cuse, Nova, maybe UNC. Could be a fun tourney. No one is going to NIT.

They shouldn’t

I think they have already won that title, even with 7 games left. They have clinched the division already like a baseball team for that title.

They are being paid so should be required.

 

[Duff366]

Why should it be required to play in a meaningless tournament at the end of the season? An injury could cost them millions

They are being paid so should be required.

And how do you “require” them to do that?

 

[Plum Street]

They are being paid so should be required.

They have missed other games.

Of course NCAA is the goal and this season is major disappointment but how many tournaments of any kind did you make in whatever you dedicated countless hours and the vast majority of your life to? It always cracks me up when folks on these boards put down lesser bowl games or lesser tournaments and dictate how the actual kids who play them and put in all the work so our middle aged asses can sit home and critique and comment should view them and accept/not accept them.

"Kids", seriously? "Kids" don't play B1G basketball, professionals play B1G basketball. Some of these "kids" make more money playing B1G basketball than they would playing in the NBA G League or overseas. These "kids" don't want to play in minor bowls or lessor tournaments, it is all about the $s and the risk of injuries.

They’ll be gone. No upside for them only downside.

Kind of like they are “required” to go to class?
