Heck yeah, we beat them twice and it knocks Rutgers back, so it helps our net and conference standing.
Come on Gophers four point game with 2:15 to play, let's go go Gophers!
Rutgers is going to start feeling some heat if they can't find a win or two on the road.
I agree about the way Orturo played tonight.
Agreed. And when sleazy Bruce Pearl loses that's the icing on the cake!
He also has logged 35+ minutes per game for 25 games, where they've leaned on him heavily. Guessing he's hitting a mental and physical wall. When your bench is short....over 30+ games, the warts start showing up.

I think Rutgers is going to miss the tournament. They only have 1 road/neutral court win. No team since 1994 has made it into the field with fewer than three wins away from home. The only one since 2007 to get in with fewer than four was Oklahoma, which had three in 2018.

Interesting take. They have a nice collection of quad 1 wins though. The way things are now evaluated, it would be hard not to take them. Not sure. One road win isn’t good for sure.

Interesting for sure.
In the BracketMatrix.com they are currently adjacent to Illinois as an 8 seed.
I realize, of course, that these are just educated guesses by "not the committee", but it would be surprising if an 8 seed wasn't taken.
They have 17 qualified wins, not 18.
They need 2 wins, and if one of those is in the tourney it can't be NW, and the other needs to be on the road.
I don't think they make it, their road record is horrid.

Obviously there is a lot of ball to still be played so it's premature to say RU is in or out...but if it comes down to where they're right on the bubble...I guess they get in. Your Last Four In/Out all have warts. If you go on the assumption there are good arguments for all 8 of those teams, I think the committee does the "feel good" thing and puts them in.

I for one definitely hope Rutgers gets in. However, the tournament is just so much more interesting to me when Illinois is in it. Just adds so much that it is hard to explain.
