RU 75 - Iowa 73

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

Ron Harper has a big game and Garza below 20- we have a good shot at winning (not a guarantee).
Without those two things happening barring something unforeseen - we lose.

 

[Plum Street]

The refs are not going to put Garza in foul trouble two games in a row

Iowa 73, rutgers 64

 

[hbbsm713_rivals]

We lose by 8

[BillyC80]

Iowa is not a great defensive team, so I can’t see them holding us in the 60s unless we brick everything from deep and from the FT line.

Their offense versus our defense is where the game will be won. Should be a close game, in the mid to low 70s for both teams, I would think.

RU pulls out a squeaker, 73-72.

[rudad02]

Refs will be critical. If they call a fair game we win.

 

[Degaz-RU]

Iowa is struggling of late. Rutgers is on a 4-game winning streak.

So naturally we will lose.

[LeapinLou]

Just thinking if we lose this game, we're swept by OSU and Iowa. To still finish 10-10 with two sweeps seems like it would be hard to pull off. But I guess if we can sweep Northwestern, Indiana, and Maryland, it more than makes up for it. We'll see how it goes.

 

[RAC’emUp]

RU 79-77. We close out the game with 8 consecutive free throws made.

 

[RUSeaGirtMA]

RU will win by 6.
Different team than first time around.
In the groove.
Long enough layover from last game to get out to Iowa and get head in game.
Don't be distracted by referee bs.

 

[zebnatto]

End game in Iowa is gonna be very tough. Don’t there’s any safe lead. Fingers crossed, I’ll call for us to hold on.

Afraid that ref’s take MJ out and Duke ends up playing 8-10 minutes!

 

[zebnatto]

My Rutgers training has me still thinking in terms of necessary and sufficient conditions. I think that taken alone, Myles playing well is not sufficient for an RU win. But I do think his playing well—making Luka work at both ends, getting rebounds, blocking/altering shots, getting his 25+ mins—is necessary. Both Cliff and Duke are way overmatched.

Hate to catch Iowa on a skid. I think they are super focused. Which will make them tough to beat.
