Will Rutgers win a tournament game

[Lafayette]

I'm not sure that there's any difference between living in Syracuse and living in Fairbanks.

State of Alaska pays its residents while State of New York taxes theirs.

I have no ill will towards any original, former, or current BE team. I want to beat them, but I'd be down with any of them being really good. Even in the heyday, I'd root for any BE team OOC or in the tourney and always hoped to outdo the three BE team Final Four in '85.

The landscape has completely changed and the schools we used to fight in and out with have mostly faded. It’s eerie when you think of how the OBE members have fared, even the ones in the NBE right now for one reason or another.

You have a bunch of midwestern and southern schools running the sport mostly now but it feels incidental, not cultural like the OBE or even old ACC.

Will Rutgers win a tournament game before there is 5 million people living on Mars?

Seriously? It’s going to take hundreds, maybe thousands of years to terraform Mars sufficient to sustain human life. Of course that will all happen before Rutgers wins a game in the NIT.

Edit: Wait, did you mean the NCAA tournament?

As much as I love Pikiell

He isnt your big time winning coach.

He is the type of coach that is a good face to the program, will run your program clean, and will win the ocassional big game from time to time to keep you dreaming. A good dude all around. Recruits well...

But in key moments he has never been elite.

He had the same issues at my alma mater (SBU). He was a good enough recruiter to turn them into winners but his teams inexplicably flopped when coaching the big games (i.e: AEC tourney Finals)

Great guy, terrible coach.

If things would have gone just slightly different, Pikiell’s your coach to follow Ollie. I think it all worked out pretty ok for UConn.

He and Rutgers seem to be coming to an end. Last year was a huge hit and they’re not winning anyone back with the play this season so far.

Tough to recover from 2 lottery picks and not even making the tournament
