Nothing wrong with being nervous. I am confident that our coach will have a good strategy and his team ready to play. Go RU!
This just feels like a "come back down to earth" game. Perhaps its just the paranoid RU fan in me that can't handle all this positive press. College basketball is funny with the occasional stinker. Ohio State is a good team but beatable on the road.
People are betting based on the Cliff news. In this matchup it’s not that big a deal imo because we can play small ball and still match up with them
Agreed. Back to cringing at a potential foul call on the first few defensive possessions of the game, etc.
Yes, but there is significant value in Myles as a shot blocker and rebounder. If he gets in foul trouble our defense goes down a few notches.
My model agrees with this spread (says Ohio State -0.8). Rutgers has outperformed the model every game thus far.
While I appreciate that you're gung ho and all, fans aren't playing the game. We're just watching. Our mentality (loser or otherwise) is entirely irrelevant and meaningless to what happens on the court.
Also, if winning as a fan matters, then fans should probably bet against their hearts (predict a loss). That way, no matter what actually happens on the court, the fan always wins.
Its Doucoure's time to shine. Now or never. If he looks bad, go small ball with Reiber and run and gun. I don't think OSU could keep up and score with us. Reiber brings more offensively but TBD on how he can hold up with D and rebounding. Also seems like a time to get Palmquist back out there for some minutes.
Quite honestly I’m not gung ho.... more on the level of take it one day at a time....it’s only a game and during these times we should remember that...life goes on whether Rutgers wins or loses against OSU or. Chippewa State...we play them right.? I want to win all those games and I’m happy the team does too and all the fan base ...Rutgers is overall a very good club....they will make a good effort... but also keep in mind we are down 3 good players ... actually 2 potential starters and another who is a top recruit beside Cliff... whatever happens tonite ...there will be a light at the end of the tunnel .
Think you’re spot on. More than okay with a small rotation with Harper at the 5 as long as Diallo isn’t on the floor.
OSU closed @ -3.5. Vegas 1st half line OSU -1.5, we were leading 10 pts at half 38-28, 2nd half, the line was OSU -5.5, 15:32 up 16, 48-32. Myles hit with a #4 14:51. #4 on Doucoure 10:41 and #5 on Myles 8:46. 59-51. From there it was over, especially with JY hurt a minute later. Refs knew what they were doing.
