Rutgers Loss

[choochoo]

I for one always feared playing Rutgers. They were organized and a beast on D. After loosing in the NC and all the hoopla with the radio thing not so much of either! Rutgers has landed great class after great class and been a shadow of their past prowess. Hell they even stole a recruit away from Geno. She has had a great staff and a supportive fan base but continues to not get her team to perform on offense. With the exception of a few incredible players that created their own offense they still struggle to hit 60 points a game??? Just don't get it. I would stop watching if I were a RU wbb fan. Hell I struggle to watch them when they play Uconn! Just ain't fun ever.

... Apparently we made a 12 point comeback to lose by 1 point ...

Her future incentive-based Rutgers contract is rumored to include making a 25-point comeback to lose by 2 points.

Unlike some RU fans. I don't think this is the end of the world. Am I disappointed? We should have never lost to UMass. That being said is that even in our good years we still had bad losses early in the season. The year we went to the F4 we lost to Pepperdine, ODU, and to Duke by 40.

We're 4 games into the season, we're 3-1 and we still have LSU, Georgia to play......I still believe we're going to be a good basketball team. Because almost every RU team gets better with time.

UMass isn't even the same universe as Duke or even the ODU of a few years ago. And Pepperdine was still being coached by Mark Trakh back then. I'm not seeing the comparison in seasons.

That said, I'm sympathetic to you and the other RU fans. As a UConn football fan, I feel your pain in seeing a once-proud program underachieve.

Well I'd still count those as bad losses in that season. *shrugs*

That said, it's still only the 5th game of the season, and RU teams in the past have gotten better as the season goes by. Was the UMass loss an embarrassment? Heck yeah. But I'm not going to call for CVS's head 4 to 5 games into the season when we're 3-1 and team has shown some real good things we can build on.

Sorry but I'm not going to join in on jumping ship that most of people on RU's board are doing. Not freakin' 5 games into the season.

I agree there's no rush. It's reasonable to wait until the end of the season to evaluate the team's performance and CVS's coaching status.
