Yes they haven’t won a big ten game yet but their record does not define who they are as a team. This team can be knight and day and had many opportunities to defeat high quality teams this year but couldn’t make the last couple shots. This team has tons of weapons and if our Knights start off as if its an easy win we will certainly get embarrassed and it will be last year all over again. Geo, Ron, Caleb, and Paul should all know they shouldn’t take the corns for granted and come out with the will to win early to make corns lose faith in winning right away. I’m afraid Cliff will be challenged and early foul trouble against walker. Hoping I’m wrong. (Feedback necessary) -GO RU

If we lose, the season will be over, we need to fire Pike, and I'm butt hurt because Pike told me this is a terrific team and it isn't, wah, wah, wah.
Okay stop. Going to “firing pike” is ridiculous right now. He got us to places us Rutgers fans never thought we would go in the past two years. Just because he has a couple tough losses in the beginning of the year doesn’t mean he should be fired right away.

These guys made us look like a high school JV team last year. I've hadn't seen that many EASY fast breaks since we played UNLV in '91(?? the year before we beat them...). We MUST get off to a fast start against them tomrrow.

They could easily come and here and beat us. The big walker is going to score often and Gowens could go for thirty. If we lock on D we should win, but come out lacking focus and we could be out scored

And Lat Mayen had a career game that day. Kid just couldn't miss no matter what we did. 25 points on 9-11 shooting (5-7 on threes). Think he hit 4 threes in the first 10 minutes of the game, and the game was over at that point.

Yep, we’re on a roll so let’s keep it going.
Thank goodness we’re playing at home.
My 10 day quarantine is up and I’ll be there tomorrow afternoon for the “W” in person.
Unfortunately, Mag will be out but I hope he gets better soon. Two teeth lost in the UM game. Ugh!

Never been a coach but if I got the impression the guys were getting complacent I would have some mandatory group study sessions of this season's Lafayette game film.

The team must play this game like a tournament game, because it basically is. Need immense focus like we had against Clemson, #1 Purdue, etc and I think they will bring it.

Sarcasm meter broken?
Ray is a strong critic of those down on Pike.

the unfortunate thing is that we know through history that this particular group does not get "up" for games like this...Nebraska last year, the life death struggle two years ago where Baker became a hero at the end to prevent a nasty home loss. Its the bugaboo that the program cannot seem to shake that is going to have to be overcome if they intend to the make the NCAA tourney this season.

If RU loses today, its not becaue Nebby was good, they are not, they are last for a reason, they find ways to lose, RU loses if they do not bring intensity and plays their game which is to work hard especially rebounding on defense.
