Just got a big win in OT against Seton Hall in the Big east Tourney. Trending on twitter now. Can we sign this guy? Assistant coach or something?
Unfortunately, he'll have to win the Big East tourney to make the NCAA's. He has had some great come from behind wins against good teams this year though. He's a good coach, Rutgers has a bright future with him.
Playing Steve Lavin's St. John's team right now on ESPN--just pulled to within 2 early in the second half. Go Rutgers!!
Mike Rice Jr got jobbed by the refs! St Johns player stepped out of bounds and flung the ball into the stands with 1.7 seconds left on the clock and the refs did not call it. A few minutes earlier St Johns should have been called for an over the back on a missed free throw, but it ended up being off Rutgers out of bounds.
That was beyond terrible officiating. The big east shouldnt let those refs officiate any more games in the tourney.
Not to mention the foul that should have been called on Rutgers' last shot with 7.5 left. Absolutely horrendous officiating. One of the worst finishes to a game that I've seen in a long time.
On the plus side, though, Rice is getting more publicity and better press from his handling of his being publicly sodomized than he ever would have received from a victory. Now, everybody knows that he's not only a very good coach, but also a total class act. He will be getting offers, I have no doubt.
HCP, please tell me you were watching the Rutgers game yesterday with the elder Mike Rice. I'd love to know his take on that obvious jam job by the refs.
We were in the air! He would have gone nuts. He was going crazy as we were reading to him what happened when we landed!
I wish Mike Jr. as much success as the Rutgers women's coach has had in her career. And if you don't know, look it up.
Only for Bris's and Bat Mitzva's, I suspect. (I also suspect that my use of the apostrophe here is wrong).
Actually, for anyone whose sexism does not blind them to facts, I was paying Mike Jr. a hell of a compliment, wishing him a Hall of Fame career. I'd bet Mike Sr. would take it as a compliment, and a well wish. Andalusian, m not s indicates plural. Bris'm would be the plural of Bris. Like goyim being the plural of goy.
