Wow. That is taking homerism to a new level.
 
They lost to B10 bottom dwellers Minnesota and Nebraska towards the end of the season and they want to complain?

Nebraska's not a terrible loss.

Minnesota, on the other hand, is why they are out. So it essentially came down to one bucket.

To be fair, SUNJ got hosed. If the reaction on this board over getting a 4 as opposed to a 3 is any indication, I'd hate to an all time snub.

I do not think this is an “all time snub” scenario. Team was 19-14 and 3-7 in the last time. I could see it either way and while I don’t think they deserved it, I wouldn’t have been shocked to see them included. Honestly thought they would play PC in the playin games. 35 in Kenpom and the highest ranked team on KP not in the tournament.
I think the strongest case you could make for a team they should have gotten in over may be PC. Similar metrics to conference mate MSU. Arizona state the worst KenPom rating of any at large at 68, but had 22 wins.

I believe they were "in" 85 of 92 brackets on bracket matrix. Not really worth debating the credentials one way or another (your points are valid), but hard to argue that over 90% of the best aggregate of bracket models has you in and you end up a 1 seed in the NIT.
 
rutgersal was one of the best fans of another team to come here preseason year after year with a detailed optimistic report about players on his team and why Rutgers would win the BE. He’s scrappy on steroids.

Never came true but like night follows day he’d be here every preseason with that same optimism in spite of results.

Throwing shade on him after the meltdown this forum went through over a two point loss to a top ten team is just plain weird. He’s got nothing on more than 90% of the people who post here!

didn't they have a guard at some point that was better than MJ?
 
We need more fans like Al on the Yard. He's a gentleman and a scholar. I'm pretty sure he's not killing his coach after 9-point road wins.

Sorry, you go 19-14, you don't deserve an at large bid. Sorry Rutgers. Also sad when 19-14 is considered a great season.
 
I changed the channel with Rutgers up 5 with under 20 seconds to go. Must have been an epic meltdown.

Once a Rutgers, always a Rutgers.

But their staff coached so many pros.

Their injury platooned their season. They should be pretty good next year though. If Mag can come back healthy they should only lose one player from this year's team of any significance and they bring in maybe the best high school shooter in the country.

I am sure Rutgers will figure out a way to Rutgers it up next season.
 
I like Pikiell a lot as a person but he has too many of these type of losses going back to his Stony Brook days.
