rutgers 67 - mich state 62

 

[Nycrusupporter]

I actually don’t think this will be very close. Either Michigan State has a big letdown after their loss to Purdue and we win by 12, or they take their frustration out on us and we lose by 10+.

 

[Colbert17!]

Tough place to win. Hope I'm wrong.

MSU 67

[dfr1966]

RU 65-61

 

[Rutgers56_rivals]

Michigan State 65
Rutgers 59

We’re obviously not going 18-2 in conference and we’ve never won in East Lansing.

 

[RUSCFORMERLYRULOU]

We win, 62-55. Unlike a few years back, the ranking makes us more focused and not less.

Michigan State 61, Rutgers 60

We’re obviously not going 18-2 in conference and we’ve never won in East Lansing.

Why is that obvious?

When Pike started there was a lot of things we’ve never done, not many left.

55-48 RU

I actually don’t think this will be very close. Either Michigan State has a big letdown after their loss to Purdue and we win by 12, or they take their frustration out on us and we lose by 10+.

This game could get away from us if our shots aren't falling.

 

[GimmeSomeMore]

Heart says RU gets it going a bit offensively and that is enough 66-62

Head says that we really struggle to score and fall short 62-50

 

[JonathanAlan]

But we win at MSG

 

[bac2therac]

I see a split vs Sparty either way

RU 63 - MSU 61

Four day rest and the team feeling confident

 

[richthedentist]

Michigan State 63
Rutgers-60
Continuing with my reverse psychology predictions has worked each time

 

[ImBadRU]

I think MS is going to be too much at home, unless Cliff really shows up on offense. I think we have to really cut down empty possessions and hit free throws.

 

[RUisB1Gtime]

Rutgers 63
MSU 56...

That Purdue game was a war. Will be hard for them to bounce back on short rest.

 

[BillyC80]

In years past I would not feel confident at MSU, but this year’s team is playing well on the road (should be 3-0) against good B1G teams. So I like our chances in a close game.

RU wins 64-63.

 

[JudgeSmails56]

Hahahahaha guess I’m in a good mood today.

 

[SpartanJD_rivals19842]

This game could get away from us if our shots aren't falling.

We don’t have an explosive offense and aren’t a great three point shooting team. If you guys play at least your B game you’ll be in it.

Izzo left an open schollie instead of using the portal. It leaves us with limited front court depth and now our top wing Malik Hall is out with a stress fracture.

After sissoko only front court guys we have off bench are two freshmen

we're undefeated on the road (don't say we aren't!) in the B1G

I don't think we can sustain that all year.

Malik Hall is a big time defender who can guard multiple positions

huge loss , hope we can take advantage

All of that was true against Purdue and you lost by a point. You guys had no answer for Edey. We don't have Edey.

[goru7]

Another tough game and a tough environment at Breslin Center. Same script we have had on the road. Good first half take the lead and hold on to it most of the game , they make their run we counter and win 68-62.

But we beat Purdue.

Worried about the quickness of Walker. He seems to get in the paint with ease and keep his dribble alive. It'll be interesting to see if he can against Rutgers swarming D. Wonder if we even try Caleb on him with Mag on Hoggard and Paul on Hauser

The backup 5 looked pretty solid to me

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

While I believe we match up poorly with them, I predict big game from Cliff, Cam dumping 20, Purdue-like effort from Caleb and 5-6 point win. Game will be high scoring. 71-66 RU.

in OT

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

They are quicker than us, but we have massive size advantage. And RU ain't as slow as we used to be, even a year ago.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Paul will be posting up their guards a lot. That I can tell you. Especially late.

a Rutgers win

Year to date 13-5 that should be 14-4
