I agree with Meatloaf

Two out of three ain’t bad. We all knew this was the toughest stretch of the season. Three good teams away from the RAC. I would have signed up for 2 of 3 if I could have. Beating Illinois would put us right there.

Of course, but this will be a really tough one to get

Gotta think Paul Caleb and Cliff come out with something to prove after the way they played last game

This. I was never expecting a "W" last night (they were just "due" and you knew TJD was going to make sure it happened one way or another). Throw into the mix a) those 3 WILL NOT have back-to-back games as such, b) a week off isn't exactly a good thing, and I think we've got this one.

I mean it was all logistics right?

I was thinking the same. The young man needs some serious shuteye.

Both FT he took were flat, no arc, tired looking shots, weird.

His FT's almost always look like that which is the reason so many hit the front rim and roll in (not bounce) the way they do.

Agreed I would have signed up 100% for 2 out of 3 before Mawot got hurt and if we win at Illinois on Saturday I and I think every fan would be over the moon so to speak

Even though State Farm Center is usually a House of Horrors for Rutgers, I am optimistic about this one. They will be more rested, & will have adjusted to the new lineup. Paul will be on his game.
In terms of standings, this game will have a lot of weight, as it is the only game between the two.
This will be the toughest test remaining in the Regular season.
It will not be a disaster if Rutgers does not get the double-bye. Last year they did, then put out a Klunker against Iowa. I still think they will get it, though, due to the easier schedule going forward.
It is more important to keep the NCAA seed range at 6 or under. A path to the Sweet 16 would be much more manageable.

I would do anything for the elite 8, but I won't do that

For crying out loud!

Thought for sure this would have been a post by the double digit club supporting Meat's ill advised decision to not get vaccinated and subsequent death.

We could talk RU hoops all night, but that ain't getting us nowhere..

Let me sleep on it. I'll give you an answer in the morning.

Two out of three would be really good.
