now ...need to get Michigan state
now ...need to get Michigan state
4-5 in quad one games

- Start date
This is huge . I posted this in the game thread . We r actually still in a good spot as long as we don’t have any major losing streaks again
The IU win does 3 things.
1) gets the team back on track
2) eliminates any nonsense about not being able to win on the road for a resume
3) gets us past the worst of our schedule
Agree, would be nice to go 2-0 this week to even up our record . One at a time though
very very good numbers....also Hofstra is about to become a Quad 3 win.
With MSU/Nwstern not doing well in the NET and in the case of MSU Q3 at home which is stunning to say its important to win this game

I didn't realize MSU's last 3 games were postponed due to COVID and that NW has lost their last 7 straight. You have to bring it every night, but these games are quite winnable.
Man I wish the RAC was open to rock against Sparty.
Agree 1000% - I really miss live hoops at the RAC, especially after last year's phenomenal run.
Game would have actually been at the Garden, but I hear ya..next year, w hopefully everyone back, RAC will Rock more than ever...Izzo will be in for surprise if he sticks with same game plan...we will have inside & outside options with everyone healthy
Izzo is a great coach. One of the best. But we were far from 100% at almost every position.
MSG would have sold out this year. Especially after rocking earlier in the year with us beating Baylor in the Jimmy V Classic there
yes ...Michigan state at home could finish as a quad 3 game ...if they collapsed
need this game this week
need this game this week
The MSU and OSU losses to extend the losing streak to 3 was not bad. What hurt was not splitting Wisco and PSU. Still in a decent spot, but need some wins
Wait we were originally scheduled to give up a home game to play them at MSG? Last season Michigan was the "home" team against us in the Garden and played us again at the RAC.
I'm not a fan of that. The RAC is a force. If other teams want to play us at MSG then it should be on their home dime imo.
We weren't really a contender for NCAA's then. Every win is worth its weight in gold now that we are. (And we lost to Wisky that game).
I'm still voting no to playing home games at MSG at this *point. Maybe it'll be different when every season we are confident it's just a matter of where we play in the March Madness bracketology, not if.
*well when fans can actually attend games again--I'd have no problem playing MSU at MSG this Thurs.

I thought it was a conference level agreement that a couple game a year would be played at site venues like MSG with the home team rotating? As long as it alternates and there will be years where RU gets to play a road game at MSG it’s not a big deal IMO.
Yeah I don't like it either. Didn't like playing a home game at MetLife when we were a perennial bowl team either (alas, that game was devastating for an unforeseen reason)
Michigan is still way more of a nemesis than Michigan St..I was at that Final 4 game..
There’s a huuuuge difference between playing a football game at MetLife from RU (sterile, quiet stadium, terrible tailgating) versus basketball at MSG (Mecca of basketball, amazing pregame spots, just as hype an arena and can be just as loud or louder than the RAC especially if we sell it out as we saw last year with the Michigan game) that is also a huge recruiting advantage to play there, unlike MetLife which has no history. Give me a game around Christmas/New Years in the City at MSG any year, love it
Agree. Whether home team or visiting team, from attending last year's game against Michigan, the MSG environment was fantastic. Rutgers Nation showed up in force, the back and forth with Michigan fans was fun and the buzz was electric. Even though we lost in a game where we should have won, due to all the missed shots, I'm sure the Players love playing at MSG and its a great fan experience for a change of scenery.
It's great to get an "away" game at MSG, but at this point I still like our chances better to get at least a split in a home&home series in the RAC (again when fans return). Playing an OCC game/tourney at MSG around the holidays is fantastic no doubt.
I agree, it's the toughest league in America and we already have 4 quad 1 wins. If our 5 next wins are Michigan State at home, at Nebraska, Northwestern x2, and Maryland at home, then maybe it gets a little dicey, but any other win gets us another quad 1 win most likely and will boost our resume more. Minnesota twice, at Michigan, at Iowa, and Indiana at home all offer significant chances to boost our resume even more.
The Ivy League didn't have a season, so that's one more at large bid for the tournament
9 wins from the B1G this year will get you in, but we only have 4 right now. Long way to go to break the 30-year streak. We will have to earn it
We had the most difficult schedule in the country the last 10 games, 8 out of 10 against top40, went 4-6 in 9 Q1 games, 1 Q2 game. 2-3 home, 2-3 road. It just looks bad, losing 5 in a row, and we beat NET #40 Syracuse 9-4 b4 the B1G schedule.

We are tied with Ohio St and Minnesota with 4 Q1 wins right now.
T3rd in most Q1/2 games with 11 played behind Purdue, 13, and Illinois, 12.
T1st with 9 Q1 games played(4-5) with Maryland(3-6) and Northwestern(2-7)
Purdue and Rutgers have the easiest schedules going forward.
Losing at Q3 Miami(6-8) is killing Purdue, Indiana loss at home NW only Q3 losses outside of Nebraska.
Michigan, Michigan St, Penn St, and Nebraska will be fighting time and getting tired in the process of trying to squeeze all 20 conference games in.
