Seton Hall has better talent this season and they are playing home.

Never a game. They bottled up Cliff last year at home and had Mulcahy dribbling while facing the other basket every time he touched the ball. No need for that this year.

[RUJMM78]

There is a clear pattern where fans predict Rutgers will score less than 60 points. Last year both teams scored less than 50 points.

I know people are still hoping Pike will figure it out. But losing Cam and Paul in the 11th hour, and Mag still not playing, is going to be too much for Pike to overcome. SHU by 10. Look forward to exacting revenge at the RAC next season.

 

[BillyC80]

Common opponent St Peters: SHU won by 11, RU won by 31.

I guess I’ll be the first to predict a Rutgers win:

RU wins 63-61

Board capitulation = surprise RU win

What is the spread ??

Lou, I hear ya. But how do you determine which team should win, if not based on their previous games performance? And if you do look at previous games, why not consider common opponents as part of that? Just sayin

 

[Joey Bags]

Was hopeful up until now, team has no steelo

Wasn't that opening night for them? They weren't terrible at Baylor the other night until things unravelled late.

 

[RU82]

Both teams are struggling right now and desperately in need of a win.

I’ll vote with my heart rather than my head any day RU by 5.

 

[Freddy Stubbs]

Hall 72

Out rebounded by at least 12.
Pike continues to insist the team can score 80.

Jerry Carino has a good article on app.com on how the teams match up. He searches for reasons why the game should be close, then predicts SHU 63-60. But I get the feeling he's being kind and thinks it will be worse than that.

 

[Degaz-RU]

When have we EVER played well at The Rock? I can’t remember a time.

That aside, Sha will have the Pirates fired up for this game, make no mistake about that. And you can almost guarantee that at least one of Richmond, Dre Davis, or Dawes will go OFF against our defense, and that Addae-Wusu kid is the sort of under the radar player who will be a thorn in our sides.

Their C Bediako actually has a clue in the post, so going to need Cliff to put the clamp down on him and not get in foul trouble.

Big concern here is rebounding. SHU outrebounds opponents 37.6 to 31.1, and they have four guys averaging between 5.1 and 7.3 rpg. And our rebounding woes have been well chronicled.

So, with our struggles on the offensive end (we’re now a PUTRID #201 in AdjO on KenPom), struggles with rebounding, and historically poor performances at The Rock, I can’t see a win here.

RU 65 - SHU 60

SHU 82

Think they are going to punch us in the mouth early and team will be shook in the hostile environment

 

[RUJMM78]

A very telling stat with Rutgers losing 11 straight regular season games on the road against out of conference opponents.Its very difficult to win on the road without multiple scoring threats on the court In the end it always comes back to recruiting.

Rutgers 60

Degaz, rebounding-wise SHU outrebounded Iowa on the offensive glass 15-2, took 20 more shots, and still lost by 13.

I’m not saying rebounding isn’t an issue, but it can be overcome (hell, St.Pete had 16 offensive rebounds against us and we still won by 31).

And though 5-4 Iowa is probably better than us, besides beating SHU, their other 4 wins are against North Dakota, Alabama State, Arkansas State, and North Florida.

I can’t see a blowout

I think Pike lit into the team after Wake Forest. I expect to see a focused team come out on Saturday.

 

[JavaDunk18]

Yes. 65-60 Rutgers
1st Of 4 game winning streak at the Rock.
SH, Miss St. & sweet16/Elite8 next year

[RUskoolie]

I think we get beat by double digits and its never close. Idk who on this team even thinks its a rivalry since we have like 10 new guys.

 

[babbs09]

Yea we lose by double digits

Anyone want to adjust their prediction with Mag back?

No my prediction remains the same. This fan base talks like he is Jesus Christ.

With Mag’s return, I am changing my score but not the result:

SHU 64
Rutgers 61

 

[Knight Owl]

Seton Hall is a 3 1/2 point favorite.

 

[Freddy Stubbs]

Anyone want to adjust their prediction with Mag back?

Excited that Mag is back, but don't expect him to have a significant impact in his first game back. Guessing he plays 10 - 15 minutes. Hall still wins going away.

 

[Waldo73]

Hate to say it, but RU goes down again SHU 67 RU 59.
