I don't see where fans think Rutgers will score 70+ points especially if Sanders is limited in playing time because of the sprained ankle.

Rutgers 63 Penn State 60

I predict a win...looks like Corey will play
but coach P at least had some time to consider Plan B if he didnt

3 of their starters Stevens, Carr and Watkins are Freshmen...
there are NO Srs on the team..

Thiam is healthy
Corey is healed
coach P said Omoruyi is B10 tough & will play more minutes
Diallo will have more confidence having played more
Williams looks to have found the 3pt trigger
Freeman will have another solid game
There will be a LOT of emotion in this game


RU by 11 pts..at HOME

I'm concerned if Sanders doesn't play. That concern comes from watching PSU crush ST. Johns in MSG before the game we played. They looked very good. We need Sanders.

but Penn State has generally looked poor most of the year. Whether it was Albany or George Mason or their most recent game at home against Northwestern where the game was over in the first 10 minutes and the 10 point loss was not indicitive of the blowout it was.

Jmm...I have RU scoring 70 because I think the PSU defense is pretty bad.

After watching Nebraska's youth go toe to toe at Bloomington, anything is possible with freshmen willing to jack up 3's or shoot from anywhere.....defending the three has been better, we forced a couple of step inside the 3-point line shots from Wisconsin, so a 2 is better than a 3....

I think we sweep PSU if we get the game Sunday afternoon, because defense and rebounding travels in sports and I'm not quite sure what RU will do for points most nights, but PSU didn't get back on defense a lot and I see Mike Williams having a very big afternoon from 3....

RU by 10+....

I guess you didn't watch any of their other games. Just the entire body of work before you focus on one game.
