THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-ILLINOIS PREDICTION THREAD

[kcg88]

disagree....I'll bet our Maryland anti Turdgeon fans will disagree too. Even when we were bad we could hang at Maryland

I feel like we've never been competitive with Maryland under Pikiell, home or away.

2019:
(home) 77-63 (trailed 69-42 at one point)

2018:
(away) 61-51 (trailed 50-26 at one point)

2017:
(away) 67-55
(home) 79-59

We get this one and they'll have to rank
us.

RU 72 - ILL 67

 

[Scarlet Knut]

I'm an optimist and like how we are playing. Pike will have us ready and RU will win 64 - 57.

ILL is beatable IMO
McConnell is ticked off and step up
and Johnson will be rebounding like a demon

Rutgers 72
ILL.........68

 

[Degaz-RU]

Having nightmares of our bigs having to deal with Cofi and Georgi, and our guards/wings having to deal with their 4 quick guards. Illinois' fans will be juiced after a great win at Wisky. But our defense will keep us in the game.

Illinois - 72
Rutgers - 67

Myles Johnson has a monster game as they try to shut down Harper. Cockburn fouls out with 3 mins to go and we win 75-69. Go RU!

Does anyone know what type of atmosphere at 11AM when kids arent in school there will be? I am guessing this will help us a bunch.

Still think we are due for a B game with intensity and 50/50 ness.

Illinois 71
Rutgers 59

Plus like said above....why mess with a streak. They keep outperforming my expectations.

There's that respect! I knew you were going for 3 in a row!

What we're really due for is a team to hit a bunch of threes on us. Last time someone hit 30+% was Wisconsin and the only time we allowed 40%+ was St. Bonaventure.

Or what we are really due for is a Rutgers game where we hit a bunch of 3's. Caleb Harper Yeboah all capable of getting hot. Young coming around too even though I'd rather see him take it to the basket all day maybe that bounced in 3 gets him going. He could get hot

disagree....I'll bet our Maryland anti Turdgeon fans will disagree too. Even when we were bad we could hang at Maryland

Totally agree. Not sure how anyone could think any game isn't winnable anymore. We can beat anyone and even stay in games we aren't playing well bc of the D and rebounding
