Worst tournament miss of all time?

[scarletknight077]

Has any team ever choked a sure tournament berth as badly as we have? Up 10 with a minute to go against one of the worst teams in cbb. Win there woulda done it for us.

plenty have

We were 99% lock just a month ago.

Huge choke

 

[shields]

Plenty. You are dramatic.

 

[WPUknight]

Lol there’s been way worse.

Huge choke

We were 99% lock at 9pm this Thursday.

Whether it's happened before or not - we definitely let a high percentage tourney make slip out of our hands. We're not dead yet, but not feeling good going up against Michigan.

Every single year teams blow it

 

[RedTeam1994]

As said above - plenty teams have choked like this down the stretch. I am sure there are other teams this year that are doing the same or similar.

As RU fans we just dont see it since this literally has never happened (been a virtual lock and then choked)

 

[Salvi's Headband]

I'm not even mad about this game. Thursday was perhaps the worst sporting experience of my life.

??
Opposite actually. For 3 years now we've lived on the razors edge and got the big win when we needed it on the last day of the regular season. Tonight we finally came up snakeeyes

 

[Duff366]

I didn't say Rutgers

 

[scarletknight077]

I know plenty of teams have choked but we were 99.99% going dancing up 10 vs minnesota with a minute to go

 

[RUfanSinceAnderson]

How about unc. National champs. Number one team. Not making it back in.

Who? None come to mind. I'm sure there are a few.

But they were never that close to punching their ticket

 

[Duff366]

Is this the first year you've watched college basketball?

 

[Salvi's Headband]

I didn't say Rutgers

I misread your post yeah sorry

 

[WPUknight]

Who? None come to mind. I'm sure there are a few.

For starters, Xavier last year.

They lost their last 8 out 10 games and were one of the last teams left out.

Good one. They got robbed

no we werent, stop paying attention to worthless January bracketology

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

They don’t deserve the tourney at the moment.

Choked miserably at lowly Minny.

Showed nothing on senior night.

Only way they get in is 1 or maybe 2 conference tourney wins and we know they are not beating Mish.

The Mag injury on the famous neutral site msg court basically ended the season hopes.

We were 99% in to get in the 2nd week of febrauary

 

[scarletknight077]

Our chances of beating Minnesota up 10 with a minute left was >99% and we were a lock to make it with that win. Other teams have fallen apart but it’s hard to imagine anyone choked that badly ever

 

[Mikemarc]

It’s an historic collapse

 

[Plum Street]

This is worse than 1999 and 2004 .

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

It’s an historic collapse

Yep

A bunch of us saw this coming weeks ago and were screamed at by the deniers

A bunch of panties all twisted in a lot of threads last night and today cuz they were wrong.

But it’s just basketball , some take it too seriously
