Hard one to predict. I could see this as a blowout loss (off the high of Saturday) or a squeaker in which we continue the momentum. I'll go with:
Maryland 75
RU 59

Maryland does not win games by alot in general this year and they tend to play down to their weaker opponents except for their first game against Illinois, RU could hang around in this game but the thing with Maryland is while they keep opponents in striking range, they simply know what to do at the end to win, they have been doing this for almost 3 years now. Remember RU in Jordans first year played Maryland close at Maryland and at the RAC until the final minutes

Congrats on your win the other day!

For those of you who haven't watched the Terps play this year (and as someone above alluded too), we rarely ever blow teams out or run away with games outside of the last few minutes, so I'm expecting nothing different tomorrow night, especially now that you guys have some confidence going.

I'll say: Terps 75, RU 64

But it will be single digits basically for the entire first 30 minutes. It's kind of our thing.

Good luck!

Unfortunately, this isn't a good matchup for us. Hopefully we'll hang tough and make it a game.

My sentiments exactly. They did smoke Illinois 84-59 Dec 27th though.

i'll go with another great 1st half defensive effort followed by a bad 2nd defensive effort/result (this has been the pattern)

1st half
Ru 28
MD 27

10 minute mark
MD 50
RU 44

Final
MD 69
RU 57

I hit the game vs. NEB, exact score.

Worse is that we have to sit though Bob Wenzel laughing at his lame jokes and doing his wanna-be Bill Rafteryy routine when they go on their inevitable big run in the second half to put the game away.

What a shame we have to listen to an announcer who knows more about our program than most others, and is a bit of a homer, and always has positive things to say. Who would you like to listen to, LaPhonso Ellis and Hugh Gass?

You really think Bob knows more about 2017 Rutgers than other BTN commentators like Shon Morris and Jon Crispin? I don't.
I watch my share of games - RU and non-RU - and I can say with certainty Bob has lost a little off his fastball.

This one is always tough. If Melo plays I see a 9 point loss; like 71-62. If he doesn't play; it's a closer game and we have a shot to win. The win on Saturday could give us the confidence we need to get one on the road. Corey is playing at a different level right now.

It's important to play good tough games against Maryland and Wisconsin and carry them into Iowa and at penn state

If we do...think we sre 14-10 with 7 game to go

I think we all know how that goes. Look forward to the hundred mentions of his illness and how heroic it is that he's playing as he drops 30 on us.:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Yes but you beating Nebraska, who is only the 2nd team to beat Maryland at home in the B1G, will certainly get the attention of the players. We have Cowan and Brantly who are playing so well right now, I think they can make due without Melo.

I do not think Maryland will take Rutgers lightly at all.

Maryland 78 Rutgers 59. Don't see this as a good matchup at all. I hope I'm wrong. No Trimble could go a long way towards making it a better game.

Resting their star player because Rutgers is coming to town? We got them right where we want them.

Bob does indeed still folow RU very closely to this day. So does he know as much as Crispin about say Illinois or Purdue? Probably not, but RU, his alma mater and former employer? Yeah, I'll take Bob.

Bob was incorrect on the flagrant foul rules and said Freeman didnt play last year for various reasons....two big mistakes
