71-68 with 2:16 to go in OT!
They are playing before the next rankings come out.Yep! 90-49!
Welcome to the top 25 Rutgers!
Hope they can pull it out. I like playing ranked teams!
They'll still be ranked when UConn plays them, just not in the following list.Yep! 90-49!

Coler said:Way to beat Rutgers. Play a 2-3 zone. RU loses in OT 74-73. Ugh. Win Streak snapped at 9 games.
ouch.Amazing loss. Rutgers out-shoots Memphis by 54.5% to 36% but makes no 3s and shoots 59% from the FT line. Knights also had 24 TOs to Memphis's 9.
What happened?
I wasn't expecting this at all!
Unless they pull the upset!!!Thus Rutgers stay in the polls will be short lived.
I credit you for being a fan and participating in a thread like this after a tough loss.Coler said:I didn't see it, but I was listening. Turnovers hurt us badly, and stupid fouls. Also Memphis played a 2-3 zone all game that for the 2nd straight game we struggled against. We shot above 50% I think, but we had like 24 turnovers... Hopefully this lost and Sunday's will be a wake up call. We were playing so well there for a couple games too...oh well learning experience I guess.
I have to agree with Coler. I didn't see this coming either. I didn't see or hear the game, but the turnovers, fouls and free throw shooting seemed to be the difference.I didn't see it, but I was listening.

Creme may not have Temple in the tourney as a 4th AAC team, but they have a more than solid shot, with a #42 spot in the idiot RPI. Massey projects the Owls to finish the regular season at 17-12 with a #36 SOS, and if Temple then goes 1-1 in the AAC tourney with a second round loss to UConn, that's a decent package for the selection committee. I think they may well do a little better than that with maybe one more road win than projected. And four out of ten AAC teams in the tourney would be very respectable and a far cry from what some doomscreamers were predicting for the conference this year.Don't mind AAC teams beating up on Rutgers this year. Would like to see it happen to Louisville as well, but that's not going to happen. . Three teams are projected to make the tournament from the AAC and two are leaving the conference next year.
I looked at the box score and the Rutgers bench scored 0 points. Considering that they had a tough time with Memphis and their bench was nearly nonexistent in the game, I imagine they'll lose to Uconn by 20+ points.
Apparently Rutgers got ranked just in time.Just read this was Memphis' first win against a ranked team since 2003.
I think most of the "doomscreamers" predictions were for next year and thereafter. After Louisville and Rutgers leave. Not so much this year, when you have the 2 NC finalists in the league. Then you are down to 1-2 bids (as it looks now).And four out of ten AAC teams in the tourney would be very respectable and a far cry from what some doomscreamers were predicting for the conference this year.
