THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-OHIO STATE PREDICTION THREAD
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
RU 63-59.
On the road is always tough, but OSU has lost 6 games to 4 teams we have beaten this year, so I’m thinking it’ll be a favorable matchup for us.

I'm not going to predict a score, but I just have a good feeling about this game and believe we walk away with an important road win.
Surprised so many picking RU to win. I think it'll be another road game barnburner and hope we can pull it out, but I don't usually do predictions, so I won't here. As of the most recent info I've seen, still not timetable for DJ Carton's return.

In order to win:
1. Start Geo
2. Keep Myles out of foul trouble
3.Get Caleb Wesson into foul trouble. Go right at him and make him foul you.
4. Someone other than Geo needs to step up.
5. Keep Ryan Young neutralized
It's a winnable game.

For someone who uses stats and percentages a lot I would like to know why this is a bad match up. Fact that, as one poster said, OS has lost to 4 teams we have beaten and 2 of those teams won twice should come into play from a statistical analysis as to why or why we should win or lose. Also is positive mental note for team knowing we beat teams who beat them
If anything this is a close game and maybe home court give them slight advantage.
We win this one.
But this league is crazy, you and I or anybody have no clue what two teams show up.

Ohio State is the best 3pt shooting team in the conference - 37.9%
Rutgers is the worst 3pt shooting team in the conference - 29.5%
Our failures on the road have been in the last 2 minutes of games. If Geo is out of his slump I think we’re all much more confident about our chances in the end game.

Minus the 1st half against Purdue and Geo’s barrage on Sunday, I do not like the way we have been playing lately. Our only road win is vs. Nebraska and I’m glad we played that earlier in the season. OSU is almost in a must-win scenario.

We've been close in so many road games. I think the overriding sentiment is that we are overdue for one of these to break our way.
As a standalone event, we are clearly the underdog. But no question this is an opportunity to give a big boost to our resume. It would also give us some breathing room to not have to win all 3 remaining games at the RAC.
In summary, big upside to this game but a loss doesn't derail the train.
Given the way we have played lately the sky should be falling. If Geo was average on Sunday 80% of people would be picking OSU by double digits.
Having said all that........I feel a victory too, which mildly scares me.
