Rutgers needs to outrebound Minnesota by at least 6 in order to win the game.

 

[rob kight]

We average 35 rebounds a game, they average 29. Just happens to be a difference of 6 plus their big is questionable with an ankle injury.

Yes. Minnesota isn’t a good rebounding team and I figured it’s always tougher shooting on the road so you’ll need more possessions…not to mention the potential emotional letdown.
Good thing is Mag is back and should be able to provide a spark if necessary. He’s gotta be champing at the bit…

I’m continuing to stay off the game predictions for a reason

Baker not scoring in double figures in recent games is a real concern playing on the road.Minnesota stinks but they usually score over 65 points.

Minnesota 67- Rutgers 62

I predict one person will always predict a RU loss. Have not seen anything remotely positive come from that handle in months.

If you are referring to me, your comments are not true.

This game is bigger for our tournament resume than Wednesday's since it's on the road. Minnesota has lost 4 straight and this is a game we absolutely should win if the team is ready to play.

Copy paste PSU score and scoresheet

66-49 Minnesota

Harper 7pts
Baker 7pts
Mulcahy 6pts

0 minutes for Jones

Hoping for copy paste UMD scoreline since it's an earlier game and a weekend. Easier for travel and more likely to have a smaller crowd.

This is why I don't care for other B1G teams. They want you to respect them just because, but refuse to respect you. They can't handle the new kids on the block kicking their *sses.

Rutgers might the worst 5-2 Big Ten team I've ever seen. Hopefully Gophers are ready to go tomorrow at (mostly) full strength.

This is a game Gophers really need to play RIGHT NOW. Rutgers is terrible on the road, plus the law of percentages says Gophers can't lose every home game! Gophers need a win, and Scarlet Knights might be our best (only?) realistic chance for a win in quite awhile.

RU 75 - Minny 58

Harper scores 25+ and Reiber gives us 10

This dude SelectionSunday is a d*ck, but he represents many of the Minny fans. Here's another golden post by him.

Takes a long time to change perception. RU needs a solid decade of above .500 results/tourney appearance to change our overall perception.

We need to embarrass them.

[BillyC80]

MN shoots a decent percentage from the floor, including on threes. If we guard the arc as well as we’re capable, we can hold them to the low 60s in scoring (if we were at home I’d say high 50s). The question is whether we have a decent scoring night.

Rutgers wins, 65-62.

They lack completely healthy players. The lack of depth and conditioning would help Rutgers to a more considerable margin of victory?

 

[wheezer]

We need this win if we are going anyplace

 

[rob kight]

Mark it down. Ru 70- Minnesota 58..
Minnesota starting center is questionable with an ankle injury.

 

[Knightmoves]

I’m waiting till Sweet Pea gives his prediction. The pup rebounded nicely from a recent losing streak vs Iowa.

 

[REDRICH65]

If we play D like we did against Iowa, Minny doesn’t have a chance
