Rutgers builds an early lead,get overtaken with 2 minutes to go. Down one, with the last shot, Rutgers calls their last timeout, to set up the play. Michigan over plays Geo, leaving Harper open, who nails the winner as time expires!!! RU-63 Michigan-62[cheers]

I probably will be missing the end of the game
Getting sick with it going down like that

Taking the approach that we are most similar to IL, I see that Michigan lost to IL twice this year, scoring 62 points each time.

So I’ll say Mich scores 62 against us. Not enough.

RU 65-62

ESPN has it Rutgers 50.2 % Mich 49.8% for a win

I think we WILL go on our usual run just before the half & lead by 12
but the also fight it out down to the wire in the 2nd half

Rutgers 68
Mich 65

The last two games I’ve been suspect of Pike’s second half rotations. This will show up on film and we might not get away with it the third game in a row. So my prediction is made with the understanding that he knows it’s an issue and gets it fixed.
RU 71
Michigan 62

If Michigan is missing one or both key guys than we win by double digits (pending again the adjustments

Critical game because the influx of road games are down the road where Rutgers will be the underdog .

Rutgers 68- Michigan 63

Is that a serious question? I'll be very surprised if it's under 15K and it'll be 2:1 RU fans, at least, as I've been saying for quite some time. Almost a home game.

Are you surprised at his attitude? He’s still upset Waters is no longer coach. Everything sucks with this guy

I went through Michigan's schedule. Their 21 point win over Gonzaga is such a huge outlier from the rest of their results. Regardless of how that result happened, its hard for me to be confident against this opponent. But RU has been defying expectations all season. Game is a coin flip for me.

I think we played St. Bonnie minus their best player. The fact that a few starters are missing from this team doesn't make me feel it will be any easier. They're Michigan. They have a full roster of great players.

So that's where the negativity all started? Time to let it go FIG lol

If Simpson and Livers are both out this game won't be close

Your right Scangg, time to let it go. I was a huge Water's fan and also a friend, hated the way Mulcahy treated him in his firing, it was dirty beyond belief and I was so glad when the same thing happened to him, Karma is a *****. I walked away from being a season ticket holder, court club member and regular radio show attendant. Gary Water's and his wife were two of the best people I ever met and while never have met Coach Pike from everything I hear we have another great man here. Time to give the hate a rest FIG and jump on board. And while your at it why not leave the race card out of things that have nothing to do with race, like players of all colors celebrating a 3 point shot. As i stated above 2 of the best coaches and people this program has ever had were black and white and it wouldn't and shouldnt matter if they were green and purple.Pounding Nails

Now with learning that Simpson is not going to play, I see Rutgers winning this game by 8-10 points.

[In edit, I just looked at the stats from all of Michigan's games, and their defense is pretty bad against non-cupcakes (77 ppg against B1G teams), so I'm changing the score from 69-61 to...

RU 75
Mich 65

14,691 at MSG, about 9,000 of which will be Rutgers fans.

14,500 of which 10,000 will be Rutgers fans!!!

I was adamant a week ago that the crowd would be at best split 50/50. But the late rush for tickets has to be all RU fans, so I'm starting to believe RU will have the edge - probably more like 60/40.
