THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-WISCONSIN PREDICTION THREAD

Wisconsin 81 RUTGERS 63

Funny, I was just wondering why you hadn't started this thread yet. And here it is.

Your prediction seems about right. The only thing...if they aren't hitting their 3s, and Francis goes berserk, we can keep it close. Not suggesting we can win, but I think there is a 1 in 3 chance we can give them a scare.

This will not be pretty for RU. Too many 3 point shooters for Wisky.

Cheese over Knight stinks.

Wiscinsin is 14.5 point favorites

Hammer the points and take Wisconsin. This feels like a shut off tv at halftime, waiting on NFL playoffs to start.

Going to be a very difficult game. Wisky can really fill it up (82 ppg), especially from 3-pt range. Blackwell and Carrington are both on a heater from deep, but the Badgers are good because everybody on the court can shoot, including their two bigs, Nolan Winter (14.1 ppg, 16-50 from deep) and Aleksis Bieliauskas (4.8 ppg, 13-39 from deep). All told, they have seven players who have hit at least 13 threes on the year.

They do give up 75 ppg, which is 14th in the B1G (Rutgers is 12th at about 73 ppg), so our only hope is that they have an off shooting night and Rutgers has an unusually good shooting night. Barring that, this is looking like an 84-68 loss.

We only have 4 guys on our entire team that have made more than 10 threes…

Correct, although two others have hit exactly 10.

The problem has been the Euros — they’re a combined 33 for 119, which is 27.7%, and that’s a high volume of our threes. They’ve taken 119 out of our team total of 338 threes, which is 35% of the total threes the team has taken.

Pike finally benched Badalau a few games ago, but he’s still riding Zrno, thinking that Zrno is just in a shooting slump and will break out if it. I mean, I think that’s a possibility, but Pike needs to manage his minutes more now to avoid more 0-7 and 0-6 nights.

Won’t be watching by the mid 2nd half.

Clearly team performances better than expected. Worse than hoped for i might add
