Can someone explain to me the Rutgers love on this board? I grew up in NJ, have a lot of friends who are alums, I'd love nothing more than for them to make some noise—and take anyone's spot in the tournament other than Hopkins. Would love for them to beat up on OSU and PSU. But where is this coming from? Is it all based solely on the addition of Kirst? He's great, but scoring wasn't really the issue for them. They weren't good in 2020 or 2019 and were kinda meh in 2018, and that was with Heningburg and Rexrode. We don't really know if this FOGO transfer is going to make a significant difference. I won't be too surprised if they finish 3rd or 4th in the conference but making the NCAAs this year is going to require a huge jump from where they've been the last several years.

Do you now understand why Rutgers fans are high on this team? Dugenio did what was needed as did the D.

Kirst, AC and others took care of business.

Haven't watch the game yet, but fair enough.

Also possible PSU just isn't great without Ament.

So Hopkins fans have to get a sport pass to see our guys?

For today's game on ESPN3, all I needed was to be ESPN subscriber on cable (and to know my user id and password of my cable provider).
There may also be less expensive routes.

I meant for b1g non home games we need a big+pass.

Which is separate from the Big Ten Network?

[jhu06]

even if you have the big ten network you have to pay an extra $10 a month for bt1+.

[jhu08]

Pretty sure that's $15/month.

Unless they charged me extra just because they like me so much.

Believe the $10 is for one school all sports. So you would only get Maryland if you pick that school
$15 would be all access for the month
$40 for a sport men’s and women’s for a year.

And Hopkins isn't an option for the one school plan, so for him/us, it's either $15 per month or $40 per year.

On the discussion regarding potential third playoff team, a small data point that might help the BigTen is Robert Morris. They have a brutal schedule with 2 home games and all else road. Have a lot of senior talent but best case is probably 4-6, could be worse. That has them winning Colgate today, at Jax, Cleve St at home and at Utah end of season and losing at UVA, @ ND, @ Air Force and @ Bucknell plus existing Ls to Duke and High Point. With less total and OOC games a 4-6, potential to be a 1-9, 2-8 record here, will ding all their opponent a little even if RoMo is actually better than that record might imply.

(This May also jam up the SoCon at large potential as well)

is romo not playing in a conference this year?

[Farfromgeneva]

Nope, got bounced from NEC (very similar in some ways to Bart getting booted from the PL in 04 in fact) when they made the move to Horizon for other sports, driven by basketball post NIT win over Kentucky,I guess asked about staying as affiliate member, like Hobart, and the schools said “pound sand bro”. So independent this year with a nasty schedule (wish we were playing them, NEC has each team playing their closest conference opponent by distance 2x which would’ve been RoMo for us but instead we have to play MSM 2x as next closest - apparently closer than Providence, Philly, Staten Island and Fairfield Co CT to Geneva which seems crazy).

Next year RoMo joins the SoCon but “we” (wasn’t a hobart influences decision) didn’t let them play this year out. Here’s their schedule:

2021 Schedule
02/07 @ Duke L 16-12
02/13 @ High Point L 21-15
02/21 @ Colgate Preview
02/23 vs Bellarmine PPD
02/27 @ Notre Dame Preview
03/13 @ Air Force Preview
03/20 @ Virginia Preview
04/03 @ Jacksonville Preview
04/10 vs Cleveland State Preview
04/17 @ Bucknell Preview
05/01 @ Utah Preview

interesting.
given their results thus far, i don't really see 1 and 9 or 2 and 8 in the cards.
and for an individual team's rpi, the game played is dropped for opponent's record.
almost as important (although not for weighting but because of dispersion) is opp opp record, and theirs should be pretty strong.

they finish 4 - 6 or 5-5, that's 4-5 or 5-4 on opponent's rec, with a potentially high number on opp opp.

it's playing teams with very bad record or average record and very bad opp opp (or of course poor both) that dings teams and leagues. right now, i'd give romo a very good chance of avoiding either.
