    THE OFFICIAL 2025-2026 RUTGERS BASKETBALL SEASON PREDICTION THREAD

    That's fair, I honestly forgot the Freeman injury was that early because I tuned out the last half of that season because it was so bleak.

    THE OFFICIAL 2025-2026 RUTGERS BASKETBALL SEASON PREDICTION THREAD

    6-5 OOC 4-16 Big Ten 0-1 Big Ten Tournament 10-22 overall Could also see 7 non-conference wins and 3 in B1G...this is the worst roster Rutgers has had in at least a decade, and it might even be worse than the 2015-16 ream that went 7-25 in Jordan's final year...Pikiell still being a better...

    Long, Dark Winter Ahead for Rutgers Men's Basketball? Don't Bet On It.

    Littlepage was before my time but of the bad hoops I’ve seen up close, I’m expecting better than EJ last year but definitely worse than last two years, thinking around 10-11 wins maybe.

    Carino Pod: good listen

    An insanely depressing stat I realized on my own recently...I was born in September 1987, so starting with that 1987-88 school year, there have only been two school years in my lifetime thus far where Rutgers had a winning season in both football and men's basketball...1991-92 and 2005-06, the...

    BB Recruiting NJIT Transfer G Tariq Francis commits to Rutgers Basketball

    This is semantics but I always see you post about a 7-year decline, are you really saying the program started going downhill after the Corey Sanders Linsanity Big Ten tourney run?

    Rutgers basketball: What went wrong in 2024-25, and what has to be addressed

    They certainly had lapses but their offensive gifts were so great that you couldn't turn the chance down and you could have still made it work with a better supporting cast...If you put Ace/Dylan with Mag/Cliff and a capable 5th starter, that unit looks much different this season.

    Rutgers basketball: What went wrong in 2024-25, and what has to be addressed

    Obviously the team must defend better next year--rim protection this season was especially laughable--but I'm sorry, this sounds like just a whole bunch of excuse-making...Hobbs being terrible didn't prevent Greg from securing some NIL funds and making it work for football, and besides that, I'm...

    Call your shot now. Will we be IN or OUT

    Right now, I think there’s a legitimate chance this team misses the Big Ten Tournament, I would be very surprised if they made the NIT and the NCAA is a pipe dream, the roster/coaching limitations are too much to overcome

    Pike-hating: so predictable and wrong.

    No I agree that team should have been better, definitely shouldn’t have gone 6-5 OOC…instead of 18-12 should have been 20-10, 21-9

    Pike-hating: so predictable and wrong.

    You got the years mixed up, that was the year they lost to Houston in second round. The following year was the play-in loss to ND but Myles, Jacob Young and Mathis were all gone.

    Season over.

    Yup, he’s not a good enough in-game coach or roster manager to win in this era

    Blue Ribbon CBB Preview Extremely Low On RU This Season

    I typically get the Blue Ribbon preview every year, but was thinking about not getting it this year and just saving a little money....That was before I saw the Big Ten rankings, now I almost want to buy it solely because I want to hear some of the justification for RU being 15th.
