This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Maybe they should have played a tougher schedule by steelhop

SoS is a huge component of tournament selection and not playing at least an ACC team likely killed them and then playing a team making the move from D3 and a bunch of also rans doesn't help. Rutgers only played 2 tournament teams - Hopkins and UMd - going 2-2. Hopkins played 6 going 3-3.

Don't get me wrong, Brown is going to torch Hopkins defense because it is awful but Hopkins is one of the 18 best teams in the country even with all of their issues.

Edited to add: If Rutgers should be mad at any team making the tournament it is Navy.
