They've got a bubble watch thread over on their board ... ACC tournament bubble watch
Rutgers is 8-7 this season with two Top 5 draft picks on the roster. I'll say it again, loved him as a Husky player, but Pikiell's highly overrated as a coach. He's in his ninth season at Rutgers, has one 20 win season there and is 1-3 in his career in the NCAA Tournament. Bailey and Harper wasted their one year of college ball. Great he was a Husky, but some honesty on his coaching ability.
Not a fan of Rutgers, but I'd really like to see him be successful. Too many "branches" from the UCONN coaching tree have failed...We loved Coach Pikiell at Stony Brook. He is a great dude and built the program to a decent level. But even back in those days we felt he struggled winning the big games. Always struggled to break through. Looks like the same has happened at Rutgers
"lucky," "fluke," "didn't play anybody"I will say I no longer punch down, but I do visit their board from time to time and I think they’ve finally given in that we’re a superior program and they dream to be us. It’s definitely satisfying. You’ll still get your typical Cuse meatball saying we’re lucky, but I just chalk it up to lack of sun and hair on their scalp.
Idk 2014 we beat State, Florida and an under seeded Kentucky team. Let exCuse come up with excuses lol"lucky," "fluke," "didn't play anybody"
OK, maybe in 2014, maaayyyybe in 2023 (though we killed everybody, albeit so-so competition), but last year we played an 8, 5, 3, 4, and 1 seed, and beat them badly.
Remember when Syracuse started the year 25-0, printed #1 t shirts in January, and then finished the year at 28-6 and then got to watch us win yet another title? That was fun.
I believe was not an easy task, beat a 1 2 3 and 4Idk 2014 we beat State, Florida and an under seeded Kentucky team. Let exCuse come up with excuses lol
