Does the quad thing really matter anymore?
I never followed the figuring of it during the season anyway
The Flying Dutchmen are GOOD

- Start date

Disagree. It's not like we are a perennial Sweet 16, Elite 8 program. I can see a program like North Carolina not wanting to play. We went to two tournaments and won a grand total of ONE GAME!!!!
Post season basketball is still a novelty in Piscataway. Like I said be disappointed today, get prepared tomorrow and play hard on Tuesday. If we come out and stink up the floor then we've just validated the committee's decision.
I am hoping that we show up and play well, and that Nevada, Pittsburgh, and NC State totally crap the bed and each lose by 20 plus points.
I would love to see both of the play in games be absolute blowouts killing all ratings. I’m feeling extra spiteful tonight
It's done. No one cares. We could be NIT beasts (I suspect we won't be) and no one in sports would care at all.
The NIT is a completely meaningless tournament. It’s the equivalent to the Beef O Brady’s Bowl.
And he can set a new RU record for steals. Even Eddie Jordan played in the NIT (twice, including the year after they went to the Final Four).
Let me put it this way — when you’re in HS and there’s one girl you want to take to the prom and she says no so you are crushed. Sure, you could take some other girl that you don’t really like and try to have fun but at the end of the day it will never feel the same.
We are energy team. The RAC is going to be empty, the students are on Spring Break, and the the entire program is down.
Like I said, I’ll be very surprised if we play well in this tournament. And no it has nothing to do with validating the NCAAs ridiculous decision to leave us out.

Maybe the RAC being empty is good. We played like garbage at home in front of our most raucous crowds
Their decision won’t be validated or invalidated . The results in either tournament don’t matter . It’s not like there are consequences
Hofstra is undersized. If Hofstra had Cliff, they’d be in the NCAA tourney.
If we had Edey, we would in the NCAA tourney

Wait they are now called The Pride
Was Flying Dutchmen problematic

Apparently it's to go with the lions on their coat of arms?
They changed it about 20 years ago. Who knew
The irony of it all is that The Flying Dutchman name comes from the legendary ghost ship of the same name, not a group of people. The ship use to be part of the athletics logo.
Why oh why do I ever click on "show ignored content"? It only reminds me why certain posters made my ignore list.
But as I did that...
Yeah, I'm sure Caleb, who has poured it ALL into this program, would skip playing another game at the RAC when he is two steals away from the career steals record because it's "only" Hofstra.
If he can play, he's playing.
For all those who post you don't care who wins, we hear you. Just go away then until Rutgers is no longer playing NIT games this season.

Our big advantage here will be on the boards. They don’t have anyone who plays over 6’9 and their leading rebounder only averages 5.5 per game. And that happens to be a 6’4 guard.
I'll never stop calling them the Flying Dutchmen. Best team name ever.
Definitely an all time great. But in the running is the UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs
This is not a walkover. We better come ready to play or it’ll be an early, inglorious exit.
