    Basketball Francis, second-half defense powers Rutgers to Big Ten Tournament win

    That lineup was awful that pike threw out there. Does he want to get fired or dare Keli to fire him? Or is this master plan to get ready to start shopping portal early? I am sure Minnesota’s coach is confused and pissed that his team is not up more.

    THE OFFICIAL BIG TEN TOURNAMENT 2ND ROUND: RUTGERS-MINNESOTA PREDICTION THREAD

    Exactly what I was thinking. Give Minnesota 40 minutes of Hell by pressing to wear them out. We have 4 guards who should be able to chase them around. Keep Ogbole out as Minnesota does not have much of a center from what I can tell. Need transition points. If we get stuck in half...

    What kind of crowd reaction will Lathan get?

    Seems a little harsh about Myles and cliff. I think Myles was done with basketball and wanted to focus on academics and career. Myles was wired differently than most student athletes which is a complement to him. Cliff played enough at Alabama and contributed at times. He did what was...

    Lino Mark

    I would think the money for mark to transfer would not be huge. If he wants to be closer to home, then one understands. He really needs to improve his outside shooting to ever get paid.

    THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-PENN STATE PREDICTION THREAD

    State Penn 58, Rutgers 55 as Pike never prepares team for road games. This is an opportunity to avoid playing day 1 of B1G tourney. Hopefully game will not be as bad to watch as Maryland game or Minnesota / Oregon game last night which set back basketball many years. Bottom 5-6 B1G teams...

    POLL: Record over next 7

    2-5 with splits against equally bad Maryland and Penn state. See if their coaches have longer leash than pike. Oh yes they do because we have $20M problem. At least there are only 7 games plus one league tourney remaining.

    THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-MARYLAND PREDICTION THREAD

    Neither team scoring over 65 and painful to watch. Finally an opponent who is equally bad. Maryland longing to be back in ACC. Someone has to win so why not us at home Rutgers 62, Maryland 58

    Woolfolk, Griffiths & Chol

    For his size, Ogbole is horrible. He is out of position on defense, cannot score at the rim and rebounding and blocks are not great. He is completely lost on the court. Someone with his size should be averaging at least 10 points and 5 rebounds. I know he is new to basketball but that...

    Woolfolk, Griffiths & Chol

    I listened to Jerry carino’s jersey jump shot podcast this week and he talked about roster construction and brought up that last year’s team would have certainly been better with Derek and Wolf. Transfers brought in were worse when paired with Ace and Dylan. And then wolf and Derek would be...

    THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-UCLA PREDICTION THREAD

    I don’t think ucla’s coach lets his team look past Rutgers. Seems pissed off after letting Indiana beat them. UCLA 78, Rutgers 60. Be nice if we were not down 10 at start of game.

    THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-MICHIGAN STATE PREDICTION THREAD

    Only hope is that sparty does not light us up from 3 like most teams do. I know they are not great from 3 but still. I expect 25 point loss as we are held under 55 speed limit.

    THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-IOWA PREDICTION THREAD

    Expect a repeat of Wisconsin game where we get boat raced in first half and maybe throws some backups in second half. Maybe backdoor cover of spread like wisky? Probably not, Iowa 84, Rutgers 62

    THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-WISCONSIN PREDICTION THREAD

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

    Rutgers vs Illinois Shot Selection Disparity

    If pike hired someone to run the motion offense to get players open like Fran’s Iowa teams, we would be in much better shape. Inability to finish at rim is maddening. Opposing coaches know to bait our players into mid range shots and they are poorly coached enough to take them and they are...

    THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-OREGON PREDICTION

    Does it matter who plays for Oregon? Oregon 80, Rutgers 60 as 65 is our scoring speed limit.
