Would you rather…

[Section114]

Rutgers and be snubbed or Arizona, a 2 seed who gets upset/beat in the first round?

 

[bethlehemfan]

Haha I can’t even imagine

 

[bac2therac]

To make the real tournament

 

[ScarletKid2008]

I thought about this…. I dunno.

Making the tournament is important for the program and records.
But also not being an annual upset highlight played every March is helpful for the mental health and pride

Princeton is never easy

 

[RUforlife]

Arizona has lost to a 15 seed before to Santa Clara and rebounded to win a lot of tournament games. That's their MO to a certain extent, next year don't be surprised if they make a deep run.

 

[Scarlet Jerry]

Would rather be Rutgers in the Big Ten than Arizona in the crumbling Pac 12. I like playing the long game.

Same here - can't believe this is even a question.

It's still been 32 years since we have been in the field of 64 with fans in the stands.

 

[RUtix4me]

So a whole season of really good with a bad finish, or a middling season with a bad finish. I’ll take the former

And we’ve never been in the ncaa with an active volcano in nj….whats your point? The field is now 68.

 

[eedouble]

Considering we pretty much pulled an Arizona in the NIT, I'll take the big dance any day

After seeing tournament basketball live, You saw this team as 99% in and convinced of the snub ?

Not sure what you're asking. I was at Indy and Dayton, but not sure what that has to do with us being snubbed this year, as we were - terrible snub, IMO and in the opinion of many others, including 96% of bracketologists.

 

[rupop2]

Being a 2 seed means we had a hellava year, I'll take it.

I was asking if you thought this ru team was a tournament team based on what you saw live

 

[RUtrumpet92_rivals498139]

Let's see. Lose as a 2 seed in round one of the NCAAT, or lose as a 1 seed in round one of the NIT. Hmmmm...

Obviously, give me the MAIN tournament!

The way we played down the stretch, no, until the last 2 games, but we were supposed to be judged by our entire body of work, which absolutely was tourney worthy IMO (moreso than last year).

Huge RU fan that picked Arizona to win my pool.
Been a rough 5 days...
