who didn’t nc state beat in non conference of note? they played in atlantis and lost to kansas and beat butler and dayton. not exactly murderers row. they played no one else and have no marquee wins away from home,m. 1 quad one win all year
Out of conference schedule
- Thread starter RU72
- Start date
Vandy..but with them it was about being clean
Ru wasnt clean...its strength of record was poor and did zilch in a charmin soft schedule
We’re 7-8 against the field.
I think they’re 3-4.
Our overall schedule is better and you know it.
Look at Utah State’s OOC schedule. This whole think stinks
unc third out is a joke. the comittee basically saying don’t lose to anyone ******, rack up wins against mediocre teams and you don’t really have to beat anyone , especially on the road
So do you all believe me now that the committee has no rubric, no consistent system. They pick who they want and cherry pick the metrics to support it.
Carino - "In the end, the warts on Rutgers’ resume – principally four Quad 3 losses, an unprecedented amount for an at-large selection – held the day. A non-conference stretch of schedule ranked 342s out of 363 teams surely didn’t help, either. And once again, following a trend in recent years, the selection committee appears to have tuned out championship week as it pertains to at-large selection, meaning Rutgers Big Ten Tournament win over Michigan and hard-fought loss to top-seeded Purdue fell on deaf ears."
comittee has no idea what criteria they use to pick teams year after year. irs completely random and makes no sense. every bracket guy i follow had 1 team wrong; the team they all got wrong; rutgers
Now this i agree with
Thats why you have to never give them reasons to keep you out
4th year i said this..bit us this year
There is no defense of a 314 rated ooc sos
In the end our NET sos was 41, Utah States was 73 nc State was 78.
It has never made sense to me that the committee mentions OOC SOS, but doesn’t mention overall SOS. This matters.
If we beat Lehigh instead of losing to Temple that's 3 Q3 losses and we have 20 wins instead of 19.
1. Don’t have OOC schedule ranked in the 300s.
2. Don’t lose 14 games.
3 Don’t squander a 10 point lead with a minute left vs. the last place team in the last week of the season.
Even with all that, we did get hosed.
Wait, weren’t you saying we were in before we found out we were out? If you were wrong about that maybe you are wrong about this.
And who is to say we would have replaced Temple with Gonzaga? If we replaced one of the cupcakes we won against with Gonzaga and lost that game would we be in? I would bet not.
At the end of the day Rutgers has to be able to beat teams like Temple and SHU before scheduling even stronger. Heck, let’s try and go 1-1 against that schedule first.
You know what you are right. If we were 20-13 we would still have our bid in the hands of others. We had every game this weekend go our way.
The problem isn’t PLAYING Temple, it’s LOSING to Temple.
Houston lost to Temple at home. They are the #1 seed. It's not Temple, it's the sisters of the poor on the rest of the OOC schedule.
Schedule one pre-season tournament or a game against Gonzaga or the like to replace one of the cupcakes and the schedule will be fine.
agree fully
its not just one thing, its a few, our resume was sloppy and yes we were still hosed considered the crap that is Nevada
These are meaningless excuses because none of these guys were in the room to hear the actual conversation.
And Carino shouldn't even be cited on these boards any longer after that infamous "Dean is the starting 4" tweet.
more convinced that our play vs Purdue was not even considered. Field set before conference tourneys. Thought that was the case last year but now its confirmation...and psu a 10 further confirmation
guy said RU didnt show they were the same team yet did he watch Michigan and Purdue..nope
Rutgers scheduling strategy is based on winning 18-20 games.Pikiell feels winning 9-11 league games is the base for a successful season.The out of conference strategy was to play as many easy opponents as possible and hope that Rutgers can split the more difficult games.With a mediocre offense there was a very small margin for error.Losing five games at the RAC isn't going to be seen favorabley by the NCAA Committee and neither is losing 6 out of the last 8 games.
thank you
all the circle jerking is hilarious
they do what they want...UNC 3rd team out? what a GD joke.
Yea and lost twice to us but we pad their resume since we're a Q1 loss/NET 40. But us beating them twice didn't matter. I'm confused.
Don't allow 15 points in 65 seconds ...and scream your head off (go Izzo) in situations like the OSU clusterf#**

We should just copy seton halls framework for OOC. Or just do something like below. The below is a good way to have a solid out of conference schedule and basically cheat a little as the away games are driving distance so it has a neutral type of atmosphere
SHU
Gavitt
St johns home and home
Temple home and home
Princeton 2 for 1
Rider
Monmouth 2 for 1
FDU
Then one early season tourney
Results in probably 2 less home games a year ooc wise so just raise ticket prices to make up for loss of revenue.
In the above schedule it’s basically just three q4 games. Away games at temple monmouth and princeton would basically be neutral courts.
70 spots based on playing Kansas......LMAO......that means nothing when your in the watered down ACC.
The entire schedule is what you're missing. RU could have played Kansas instead of Temple and would be in the Oklahoma State bucket.
And keep in mind North Carolina and Clemson were 3rd and 4th behind RU, if we are believing the NCAA crooked committee. UNC was ONE slot behind RU.....?? LMAO
Just stop with the schedule nonsense.....if Carolina had showed a pulse vs UVA, they would have leapfrogged 8 teams to the 10 seed line.
your are right. Don’t lose 13 games so that you can allow for the B1G refs to screw you.
