Rutgers Currently 14th To Win It All
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Extreme pressure on Bailey and Harper to score in very high double figures in order for Rutgers to be ranked in top 25.There is no way Rutgers will score 70 points a game without at least 35 points from them.
Rutgers will either win or lose.
This data makes me think I am too bearish about next year. At least the bull case is very real.
On paper the guys Pike brought in (and still looking for) are not chopped liver.
Offensive success is measured by efficiency and not raw points scored by 2 players.
If our 4th and 5th leading scorers are in the 8.5+ area and we play 8 or 9 players things will probably be good offensively.
I am really surprised that a good big man, with one year left, has not seen the potential of this team and jumped on board.
Eh, wouldn't be so sure. Just a year ago we had 5 guys score at least 8.3, with two more over 7 and only scored 68 a game, good for 266th in the country. Year before, 4 guys average 9 and one at 7, same 68 a game, 245th. Year before that 5 guys at 8, 69 points.
I am going to go under the assumption Ace and Dylan will score much more than last year's #1 and #2.
I want to see 3 thru 7 score modestly, but in a very efficient manner.
FIFY, lol. I prefer positive words to describe a positive, not double negatives. But you are coming around. Nice to see!
What is FIFY?
Don't tell me how to behave......I'll make this glass 90% empty if I want to!:YesNo
Too add....not sure you want me to be too positive. I was very bullish (with concern about fatigue because of bench) before the Mag injury. I was quietly saying I could see the team going all the way
WTF does a year ago or two have to do with this year’s team? Cmon, post with more thought than that.
In fairness to him....he did provide facts that disputed my point. That is always welcome.
Fixed it for you. FIFY.
And I put an LOL in there to show I wasnt serious.
And I have an unending supply of water to refill your 10% filled glass!!
lololol. seriously, I like that you are coming around on this team.
If i was 21 years old I wouldn't forgo an incremental $250-$500K for an increased chance of a Final 4 appearance.
Yeah, but this team has had its roster COMPLETELY turned over. His dog don’t hunt.
Yes I did, but maybe I wasn’t clear enough. Sorry.
It means Fixed it for you. FIFY.
But what if they do? I keep thinking this.
It’s at least a non-0 chance that they just destroy the conference next year.
What if they are scoring over 40 to nearly 50ppg combined?
Just running up and down the floor.
that is EXTREMELY unlikely.
If the over/under on PPG combined is 33 PPG I am taking the under.
Yeah, I'm addressing someone else. If my post doesn't address your need for sunshine and rainbows to be blown up your *** at all times, don't read it.
I would too, but I'm fascinated to see how efficient each will be doing it. Acuff and Williams should be good at putting it in the basket too. I think how those next three perform will be a great indicator of how the season will go.
I have a hard time seeing our team as the 14th best odds without Cliff.
With him maybe. Excited to see how the season plays out.
Rutgers isn't winning many league games with Bailey and Harper scoring less than 33 points combined.
I think it speaks to the "bull case". There may be a lot more teams than 14 that would have a higher probability of making NCAAs
I would almost go as far as saying the more they score the less our chances of winning are.
I think we have the 8th leading scorer last year in college basketball on our team. He will help out with the chores.
Our offensive success will come down to efficiency. We do not want to see a ton of volume shots. We also don't want to see Harper playing over 32 MPG per game.
You are a well respected poster.....we don't agree here. Maybe I am overrating the pieces Pike has brought in.
I kind of am too but now that it’s basically professional sports, it’s more about the $$ than winning championships.
This dude could get numbers as the fifth option with ball movement.
Collects the puppies beforehand…then nice gather, load and release.
And according to the highlights has never ever missed a shot.

This dude will be known as Gibson Martini if he can make some key shots. IYKYK.
