Myles can handle Robbins. JY and Mathis can contain Carr. MN has a horrible shooting game. We win by at least 10.

RU 74
MN 62

This game needs a heavy dose of Young and Mathis and their perimeter defense on Minnesota's leading scorer Marcus Carr.

This is an interesting question: who guards Carr at the start of the game if we do not change the starting lineup again? I would not change it, BTW. It is more important to start with a solid flow on offense than to have Mathis or Young start on Carr IMO. I guess it is Geo and help him out as needed.

It could be Baker but my guess might be Caleb to put length on Carr to start the game. He is very good on the defensive end and this way Baker will not be utilizing as much energy on D to keep his shot fresh. I could be wrong but I think putting Caleb would be the way to handle it.

Rutgers wins by more than five. I don't know about a score.

It could be Caleb on Carr, that is the only other realistic option. Paul is not quick enough.

I think Carr, depending who we have on the floor, will give us problems before our defense is set. Once we are, I think our length and held D will make things tough for him--let's hope MN isn't lighting it up from 3.

I purposely open this prediction thread prior to each game to see if you are going to pick Rutgers to lose. If your predictions were always correct we would be 1-16 after this next loss. Is it purposeful or do you really think we will lose every single game? I ask the question honestly and it would be great to hear an answer.

Truthfully ... it’s decades of being a Rutgers fan, always waiting for the other shoe to drop. You asked honestly and that’s the answer. If you took the names off the front of the jerseys and just gave me the players’ and teams’ statistics, I’d pick Rutgers more often than not. But despite being told by my father since forever that I’m way too pessimistic, it’s how I’m wired. Hope that helps, even if some don’t agree with my thought process. Thanks!

Just go to a zone to prevent the 3pt line when Cliff is in and when Myles is in go to man and press
