Man, wish Gabe had dropped to the Bears 🥲

I happened to watch the full recap and it got a little testy in the last couple minutes when Chris wouldn’t admit that Houston wasn’t a championship caliber farm 😂

Made me cackle 😂

Idk man, the Big Ten has turned into a “drive to the rim, get 2 free throws” kind of league. I feel refreshed after watching a game where the better team won based on basketball ability, not flopping ability.

Gotta get to the under 4 commercials 🙄

Yeah. I just tend to think that 4-5 games either way is too small of a sample to be predictive when we’ve got a season’s worth of data. For my personal brackets, the smallest sample size I’ll use for predictions is 1-15-2026 onward

If anyone’s cagey about this team heading into single elimination - get this - our team is 6-4 from February onward (no good). However, during that time, Torvik has us as 5th best team in the country (very good), higher than our season average of 6th. We’ve been playing well overall, we’ve just...

I’ll take a short one. Tuddy time 😤

Doesn’t feel like a game that Rutgers wins by kicking field goals

Brett Bielema has talked recently about how players in our football program earn their way to good NIL rather than Brett prioritizing tapping out our NIL budget with high-value transfers. For basketball, it seems like this is the opposite from the outside looking in: we’ve given big, $2M+ offers...

I feel like I just want to disassociate from next year’s team if there aren’t changes to who’s running the defense and even offense. Just have no faith that we’ll get the most out of our talent with the current staff in their current roles. Hope I’m just being overdramatic 🤷‍♂️

We’ve been around 141st on Torvik if you filter on the last month…
