Nebraska 75 Rutgers 59

We are very fragile and if we don't hit our shots early we can be in trouble. Nebraska is also 0-3. Didn't watch 2nd half vs. Maryland but a 21-1 run vs. 1-3-1 really scares me. Nebraska lost by 11 in Iowa and we were down by over 40 in Maryland.

The 1st 10 minutes are CRITICAL. Nebraska will come out hungry.

I actually think we win one.

RU 64 Neb 60

We are worse than Nebraska but they stink too. I think whatever there is of a home court advantage gets it done.

Nebraska is not good, I watched them a couple times. They lost to Samford at home, got blown out similarly to RU vs Creighton. They can probably matchup better against the better teams in the Big 10 than Rutgers so their losses will only be in the 10-15 range while RUs are 25-30.

This is basically a must win for Rutgers. They will not win any games on the road so its only going to leave 3 more winnable games the rest of the year..Illinois, Penn State, and Minnesota and all 3 have more talent than RU. This might be the least talented team RU plays all year. Lets hope we jump on them early and they continually to struggle themseleves

Its a must win because there are no indicated W's on the schedule.

I dont want to jinx the team but will be very surprised if we win.

I just checked kenpom...the chances of RU going winless in Conference is 3.75%. If we lose this one I am guessing the chances could go up to 7%? kenpom says we have a 42% chance of beating Nebraska at the RAC. The only game with a higher chance of a win is the last game of the regular season vs. Minnesota (46%).

Its always a positive note when fans can cite how bad opponents are which gives Rutgers a chance of winning.

What is it going to take for Rutgers to win a game this season?I'm hoping the Final Four Team being at the RAC will get the Rutgers team motivated.

Rutgers 62-Nebraska 59

If Laurent is basically healthy I'll take RU winning 67-63. Flip the score as a loss without Laurent.

If there is a game remaining in conference that we can actually win, it's this one.

I say Rutgers by 4 over Nebraska.

Rutgers 67- Nebraska 63. BAC, the fact that we almost beat Wake makes me think we can beat some teams at home. Wake beat LSU who beat Kentucky right. Don't care Wake played poorly vs us other teams can play poorly also. Final Four team will be honored right?

First team to 70 wins.....This is an up and down game, defense optional, shot making at a premium.

Grier, Williams, Sanders need to combine for at least 10 3 pointers to win this game....I say they get 12+ and win by 5.

RU 77, Cornhuskers 71
