THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-PENN STATE PREDICTION THREAD

[MCKnight]

RU wins easy, then beats Michigan Saturday, 4-6, and the board starts talking tourney again.

at least those two wins Keeps the season alive another week

 

[RutgersChow]

A game Rutgers should win, but will definitely lose if they don't play hard.
RU 72
Penn State 65

Not sure how pumped we'll be for this game.

 

[Miggins]

We should win. Two ways we lose is PSU shoots has a good game from 3 and/or we do not rebound well. We should dominate them on the boards but worry that RU assumes this and loses rebounding intensity.

In the end I think a somewhat comfortable win but not a blowout 63-55

 

[e5fdny]

20+ to 1

So far.

 

[Virginiarufan]

RU 76-64. Only reason I'm calling it this close is they have a 240lb center that might cause problems for Cliff at times.

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers favored by 7

 

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

We win IF Cliff stays out of first half foul trouble.

 

[RU-Hunter]

RU 69 - PSU 65

Except Bob72

And as it appears from my seat today we will not be winning this game. You may need to apologize but hang in for a few more minutes.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

And "Proud"

The judge likely coming in with a loss too

If you're predicting a loss this game, are you predicting Rutgers to lose every single game left on the schedule then?

It’s certainly possible

Except Bob72

You see motor54…. This type game is why you never doubt my understanding of coaching and players .I know athletes… I played many sports…. We saw early on that this team was was up and down. Pike is loyal to a fault and that is his weakness. It’s ok to have loyalty to your players but if they are not performing then it’s time to let them know.

 

[RUBOB72]

It’s certainly possible

The sad part of this loss is it is our fans still refused to see the overall poor shooting of this club was not going to change…suck at free throws. ..simple layups for chippies ….no outside threat except Gavin Griffiths… no concept of running an offense… poor rotations of players... Pike’s worst coaching job to date...
