They would be better off not getting a bye. Then they’d play Northwestern or Nebraska, a team they could actually beat away from home.
Disagree, you don’t want to play those teams. Resume can only get worse
That’s dumb. Win now and avoid that game and get it. Beating Nebraska or northwestern does nothing. People add too much weight to conference tournament games
My point is, it’s the best scenario for winning another game before the postseason.
Let’s just assume, in your world, we have an 80% chance of losing each of our final 5 games. You have us losing all 5. And you seem very confident about that, god bless ya for that. You do realize that, even with an 80% probability of losing each of those games, the aggregate odds of losing all 5 is 32.7%. So not sure why you are cranking it to your prognostications like you are some kind of genius and we all should take it to the bank
Unlike some posters, I’m not saying you can either listen to me or not. I could be wrong. However, historically speaking, both short term and any long term, I have no reason to believe an offensively challenged team, that can’t win on the road and “Rutgers” on its jersey, is suddenly going to defy expectations.
It’s not about defying expectations at this point. It’s literally all about having one statistical outlier game and coming up with a win. That’s all we need buckerooooo. We don’t have to have a seismic shift and “defy expectations”, we need one night where we shoot a standard deviation better. That’s all! And we are close anyway, it’s not like we are going to away games and gettin our doors blown off
No, they’re not. Tonight was the worst lost in terms
of score since MSU. So I agree they play tough. They’re just not good enough. They’ve lucked out with injuries to opposing players and two miraculous comebacks too.
Ok so the point is... even if we are as inferior to everybody left on the schedule as you say we are, you don’t suppose there is just a little bit of a chance, perhaps a glimmer of hope, that we sneak out with a win? Maybe we shoot just a bit better and miraculously it occurs? Or nahhh? No chance?
That win does nothing!!!! If we end up in that position, that win won’t hemp. You’ll have to win that game and another. You don’t want to play two days in a row.
There’s always a chance. I wouldn’t bet it happens. I have no reason to think it does. Sure, the stars could align like at Iowa last year. But I don’t see it happening.
Well at least I got ya to admit that it’s feasible! Maybe by this time tomorrow I can convince ya the team is trying to win out there and, shucks, maybe they’ll try just a bit harder one of these times on the road and mix that with alittle luck and win!
Same to you. Even if there’s some sarcasm in there, I don’t take these things personally.
Being that your game prediction history hasn't been so good......not sure why anyone would care what you wouldn't bet on happening. At least you were generous enough to predict a victory over Caldwell - Lulz.
How can any RU fan in his or her right mind be so down on this team, this year? Guessing that you picked the team to win about 10 games?? Amiright?
PS.....stalking an apparent troll who posts here is pretty easy with the board archive and all.....
These are all good very points. I think our RU PTSD gets the better of us sometimes. When Waters' team faltered his first year, we would get beat badly on the road. This team has been close in most Big 10 road games and won I think three last year.
LOL WOW. If this doesn't SCREAM troll...not sure what else would. Rutgers56 literally has us losing every game we play! haha. What a joke.
