THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-PENN STATE PREDICTION THREAD
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
a loss would not surprise me at all, despite the supposed great home court advantage our last two games at the RAC have not been quality basketball overall.
I’d go as far to say that this is a crossroads game of the season. Win, and we can talk about higher seeding again. Lose, and it’s back to panicking we won’t make the dance.
its a very important week......opportunity to all but cement a NCAA bid by winning both games. Winning both keeps RU in the race for the Big 10 title. Losing both and RU is 5-5 in the middle of the pack logjam with 10 other schools. No seperation. Split is mandatory no question. Iowa does not seem like a good matchup but geez our whole approach was just awful at the RAC. Still pissed at that and would love the opportunity to reverse it. If RU is as good as some say they are, these are games they have to start winning, if not they are much like last year moving towards that 10 and 11 line
Yup a lot of teams are hurting and have typical winter issues like colds, etc-- I wouldn't be surprised if RU didn't have same --- so these days off are a blessing

I expect it to be a long week by the time late afternoon Sunday rolls around.

We find our shot and give them open looks but we lock down the last 5 min on defense with a big assist from the RAC

They lost at UM by 13. They lost to Purdue by 13.

Our offense at the RAC has been MIA except a couple games in the B1G. If we win it will have to be from an amazing D effort, or lights out shooting from a couple guys

After the game we will be wondering why so many people were worried about PSU. We will need to take Pickett way out of his comfort zone and make the other 4 have to make plays and not just shoot.
Will we get to 60 points is my question....I think we will hold them to 59 or lower.

Don’t like this game at all.

I think we get them back at their place.

Optimistic Greene. Not as scary as optimistic kyk but still a little scary
Cam rebounds and scores 20. We learn to feed Cliff more than usual, Caleb controls Pickett, Paul takes more open shots and Mag harasses them on defense.
Pike has a game plan that works. The good Wolf returns and scores 6 points.
RU wins more comfortably than some predict 67-58.

If Rutgers was playing Piscataway H.S. at the RAC, you would say...."Just have a bad feeling about this one".
The fact that the consensus is scared about a game that last week would have been thought to be easy makes it easier
The ball sticks to Pickett. I think we can defend that.
RU opens a 15 point lead mid 2nd, nearly gives it back on a bunch of 3s but wins 67-60
