Perfect storm

I know people are still upset about the loss to St. Bonaventure, but the Bonnie played the perfect game. If Rutgers were to play them 10 times, they would win at least 8 of them. It wasn't Rutgers night.

Wow crazy stat. Shots did sure feel like they were just falling for them that night

Interesting stat!

My guess is that people are more frustrated with that loss than anything else, but as you pointed out, sometimes that just happens (especially early in the season). I'm glad that the team used the loss (and likely the loss at Pitt) to get better as a unit. If RU played that game with the defensive intensity that they are playing with now, they win going away.

Tuesday's game should be 149-148.

Well, I’m glad they’re all giddy with excitement! Golly and shucks, Opie! Let’s go tip some cows!

They took it to us so a tip of the hat to them. At the end of the day if it makes them feel all warm and fuzzy up in the Olean metroplex, have at it.

Bonnies’ amazing offensive efficiency as noted, and two quick, weak calls that sent Myles to the bench for most of the 1st half were the keys to the RU loss.

That game was lost in the first half, falling behind by 13. Considering their amazing outlier shooting stats that night, and it practically being a home game for them, we should have gotten completely blown out, but we outplayed them by 7 in the second half and lost by only 6.

If it helped us get our heads straight for future games then so be it. If we make the big dance we’ll go to battle with a complete team humming on all cylinders. So we’ll be ready, in part thanks to the Bonnies.

That bad loss could come back to haunt Rutgers at the end of the season.Rutgers will need to upset a B1G opponent to make up for that loss.

Not if Rutgers does at least .500 in the B1G. The strength of the conference is unmatched which helps to trump that game.

If Pitt doesnt become good..the combo of losing to them and St bonnies can hurt when stacked against other 500 in league power 5 schools
