Pretty interesting game... they are still celebrating beating Purdue... who steps up for us with Mag out in a hostile environment... can we contain Hood-Schifino?

I think IU is going to win.
- They didn't have their phenom Frosh in our first game
- Trayce Jackson Davis is playing the best basketball of his career the last 1/2 dozen games
- They have a very sore *** about getting "punked" by RU the last time we played
- Mag surely will not be available

On the plus side, I think the fact they beat Purdue and have been hot actually bodes well for us. But I think there is too much against us to overcome.

Indiana playing at a very high level and they have the home court crowd.Rutgers absent MAG and still lacking 3 point scoring.

Cam showed signs two games ago of breaking out, then he was off again last game. My prediction is based on his scoring - 15 or more we win, less we lose. I think he scores 15 on the dot. We win 63-61z

Unfortunately. Without Mag, I can’t see us beating a hot Indiana team on the road.

We own Indiana but they’re playing better now than at any point over the past 5 years so this will be a big test. Not having Mag definitely hurts too. Eh I don’t know. Gun to my head I don’t see us pulling this one out especially with our recent road struggles.

You serious? They’ve won 6 out of 7 and only lost at Maryland who’s undefeated at home in big ten play. They’re a sold 4-5 in the tournament while in last years they’ve either been a bubble team or didn’t make it.

Indiana just peaked with their win over Purdue

Team emotionally rallies in first game without Mag

Simpson plays with confidence after his big game against Indiana first time around and has his best game since

The "usual" result of a key player getting injured is that the team steps up WITHIN THE SAME GAME AS THE INJURY, but then struggles in subsequent games.

This is my fear for tomorrow night. Short of Cam and Hyatt catching fire on offense, I just don't know how we make up for the loss of defense and rebounding with Mag out.

FinalFourOrBust already answered the question, but I'll add to it. If Indiana got "crushed" at Maryland after losing by 11, then in their 5 previous games they crushed Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan State, and Ohio State even worse, and also beat Minnesota, and after the loss to Maryland they beat Purdue... Hood-Schifino had an unusually bad shooting game at Maryland, shooting 1-14. And I don't know if there was any "home cooking" reffing in that game, but Indiana had 12 FT attempts (10-12) to Maryland's 29 (25-29)... So I can understand it if people think that Indiana is playing really well lately.

Over the last 5 games, TJD has been really tough averaging nearly 24/15. He tends to get every call and my fear is that he gets cliff into early foul trouble. If cliff stays on the floor and they contain TJD below his averages, RU wins 69-63

Halfway into the first half, with RU having offensive difficulties and down 6-7 points, Palmquist enters the game and gets hot, making 4-5 triples, leading RU to a 2-point victory.

I’ll be shocked if RU figures out how to win this game, but they’ve proven me wrong before…
