I don't. Absolutely brutal schedule the rest of the way. Both Harper and Geo appear to have lost all of their confidence.
Anyone see another win...
- Thread starter RUich
- Start date
We will be underdogs in every single game the rest of the regular season. And we can most definitely lose every one.
We never know what we are gonna see from night to night. If Geo and Ron show up on the same night we can beat most teams in the big. I’m 50/50 the rest of the way.
I have seen this thread 3-4 times this season.
Just "shock the world". Nothing is impossible. The RAC needs to be rocking on Saturday.
It wouldn't totally shock me if we beat MSU and OSU at home.
Rutgers won't be the underdog to Penn State at the RAC.
The MOST RECENT Rutgers team we have seen (second half of last night) could beat anyone in the B1G. Yes our first halves have been very bad, but the team HAS THE POTENTIAL to win any game. If they can be locked in for 40 minutes instead of 20.
last I checked were 6-5 in the Big Ten. Yes I know who we’ve played, who we’ve lost to, and who we have to play. But until we have 10 conference losses, the season is not over and this very Rutgers team has the chance to still do it IF they can get the mental part down to be tuned in for a whole game

We have 6 conference wins and have beaten a couple good/solid teams. Not sure why someone would think we’re not going to win 1 of the next 9 conference games.
Haven't really changed my opinion on this team. They have it in them to win any game left on their schedule, and also to lose any game left on their schedule. They're just maddeningly inconsistent, from game to game, and even from half to half.
The one thing that could change my thinking is if new roles are set by the coaching staff and some of the player(s) arent accepting. Things were neat and easy when it was 5 guys playing 34 minutes. I think we have been paying for the high minutes lately.
I may have misinterpreted your prior post which I took as sarcasm about losing confidence (I don't believe they have or will between now and next game) and was offering a light hearted joke (hence the "lol") about them losing confidence during their sleeping hours.
Got it now. I was serious but like the way you injected sarcasm and humor in the post. All good.
They will knock off one if not 2 ranked Big 10 schools at the RAC
It will happen..likely Saturday
I don't see roles changing enough to really build consistency.
Our offense is all over the place.
On 1/15 Harper had 31 points, then two weeks later he had 7
On 1/22 Baker had 25 points, then 10 days later he had 0
On 1/22 Omoruyi had 4 points, then 10 days later he had 22
On 1/25 Mulcahy had 0 points, then 7 days later he had 31
If in any game, 2-3 of our guys have an "on" game while others play their averages, we could beat anyone. If 2-3 of our guys have an "off" game while others play their averages, we could get our doors blown off.
I'm really curious what the standard deviation is on each of our players vs. the average standard deviation of other players with comparable points/minutes per game.
If someone wants to set the over/under for rest of the regular season wins at 1.5, I will take the over.
OSU bigs are gonna bully us I fear. Lidell and Young are full grown men
If we can defend the 3 like Iowa, Wisconsin is beatable. Caleb and Mag slow down Davis
They also have Key who spells Lidell and sometimes they are on the court together. But with them on the road and our home crowd and if we play balls to the wall for 40 minutes, we have a chance, lol.
Key started the last two games as a 4, so if that's still the case Ron will have to match up with him. Key is 6'8 245, so it'll be interesting. Key averages 9 pts a game. I like Dean, but Key is too much for him right now, imo.
My sense is the collapse is on and we may win 2-3, but we may win 0.
For whatever reason, he wasn’t helping the team on defense. It wasn’t a change, it was consistent with what pike’s done before. Lots of complaints on here when Caleb had the early season yips, but anything negative spoken about his defense then was unfounded. He was indisputable the best defender on the floor in those games despite his poor offense. He was ineffective on both ends the last 2 games. No clue what’s going on with him.
In our 9 remaining regular season games, the team most likely to trip us up is Rutgers.
Anyone who thinks that they can predict what this team is going to do is insane.
I saw in the press a possible avenue for our bench to be able to contribute quality minutes without us falling apart. It won’t work against everyone (wouldn’t want to run it on a team like Iowa for example that likes to play fast). But I saw in the second half, opportunity to build on the come back and improve as a team - despite the disappointing loss. Let’s see what happens.
Weren't we supposed to be 3-28, 0-20 after we lost to Depaul, Lafayette, and UMass?
I don’t unless the other team has players out due to injury or severe illness.
You can’t lose to NW or MD at home and expect to just turn it on.
Yep, same folks who back in November predicted a 1-2 win BIG SEASON.
