Basketball ESPN BPI predicts future games / a look at possible NCAA bid

ESPN BPI projects Rutgers Hoops remaining six games

I do agree, however, that these two games are our best chances to win. Unfortunately, even if we do that, 19 wins while losing our last 4 (and potentially one in the B1G tournament), and only one road win, will not be a good look. We really need to win these next two and one on the road.

I feel good about Saturday, especially if Dosomnu doesn’t play. I’m much less confident about Michigan now that Livers is back and I fear Pike will not change his defensive game plan against them.

RAC environment should play a factor here.

Richie - the article shows the UM game on 2/22 instead of 2/19. Otherwise, good stuff. RU needs to be laser focused on what they need to do to beat Illinois. Not sure if they are preparing for Ayo playing. Hoping the Illini decide to give him a game off. I guess we'll find out tomorrow if he's even getting on the plane.

Agreed, I don't know how anyone sees RU as the favorite over Michigan with Livers back. I'm really worrying about those close losses we let slip by on the road.

ESPN has us down as one of about 32 teams capable of reaching Sweet 16 in the dance, they have 10 capable of Final Four category, about 20 in the elite 8 catagory. We are not even near the bubble right now.
