Rutgers...

Oops. My bad....I missed that this was about Rutgers. I thought it was us. Having said that, I agree with you 100% that their season was very comparable to our Eddie Griffin year. Both were epic disasters and were supposed to be seasons of triumph.
At worst 2 picks in top 15..

There’s zero chance they accept the NIT invite. Can’t allow the 2 freshman to look bad because you know they wouldn’t play the NIT with the rest of their team.

Harper and Bailey are great, but there is a huge difference between 23 year olds and 18 year olds.

This is actually good evidence as to why coaches are no longer going to recruit high school players but older transfers instead.

Regardless----- screw Rutgers this couldnt have happened to a more deserving team.

I don’t think they’re even eligible for any post season with a losing record and no conference tourney championship.
 
Depend on teams that reject the NIT. Last year they took teams below 500 I think
 
Who had a more disappointing season?

Us
Expectation: Question marks but hope to find a path to the right side of the bubble
Result: Possibly the worst major conference team in the country

Them
Expectation: Final Four or bust
Result: Under .500 no tourney bid

We had hope but that was about it.
RU had hype and two top 5/10 lottery picks. They were a complete bust.

NIL is a crapshoot, but spending that kind of money on two freshman has even more risk. There season is exhibit A.

There will be no NIT invite forthcoming, but if the College Basketball Crown (owned and run by Fox Sports) want them, participation is compulsory.
