Have we ever won two consecutive road conference games in recent times? B10 or Big East? No right

Last season - Indiana and Northwestern. There was a home game in between.

With fans in the stands? Been a long, long time.

I think this is a good matchup for us to defensively. I want Audige and Buie to think they can have their way with our guards. Nance doesn’t really draw a ton of fouls. How will we shoot? My magic 8 ball is missing.

Welsh-Ryan Arena is similar in size to the RAC, so I think our guys will feel comfortable shooting there. RU is tough to beat when it shoots well. Hence...

Rutgers.....................73
Northwestern..........65

Who the hell knows... impossible to predict how we will play. Just have to wait and see. We all know what we are capable of.....both good and bad.

Yup and that's why these "polls" are ludicrous

Seems like it should be 50/50, since there’s only two choices, win or lose.

Besides, all the algorithms in the world can’t predict how well we’ll shoot on any given day, and that’s the main variable, since our defense tends to be a constant, somewhere between good and great.

The good news is we only need to play one good road game to win at both Nebraska and Northwestern

There is an expected rate and a standard deviation around that. Thank goodness you have it wrong because a lot of people wouldn’t have jobs.

So you’re saying there’s a range of shooting percentage that we’re capable of on any given night? Wow, brilliant!

If your think flux’s odds are silly you will have a chance to cash in with Las Vegas because you will get good odds taking RU with the money line.

Buie is awful. Let him shoot!

Buie is inconsistent, but he shot 5-8 from 3 vs both Penn State and Purdue this month, and is a combined 8-14 from 3 in Northwestern's last 3 games. Hopefully he won't shoot well against us.
