NW started at 1-1 in B1G games, same as us. Since then both teams have gone 2-7 in the B1G.

I haven’t looked into their injury situation, but I gotta believe our 3-6 record was more impacted by injuries than their 3-6 record.

If Dylan can play 25 minutes, and he’s at 80% or better, I think we can pull off the upset.

Rutgers wins, 74-73

If you watch the beginning of the second half of the MSU game, ain’t no way Dylan is playing tomorrow or maybe for a good while.

With a healthy Harper I like Rutgers to win 79-75. Think we match up much better against a team like this than say PSU

this is a MUST WIN game for Northwesterns NCAA tourney hopes...they have 2 really good wins over Maryland and Illinois but nothing else...no ooc wins, a horrible ooc schedule..they are 0-6 on the road. they have a clean resume with no bad or Q3 loss so Rutgers would be their first. Their is a plausible path for them for the ncaa tourney since the schedule isnt all that tough but at minimum they need to finish 19-12. A loss here would be devestating for them

NW is 10-1 at home, and the only loss was to #7 MSU. Say what you will about their arena, but they have made it a really good home court advantage over the last few years, with several upsets of ranked teams. 13-2 last year.

We're not winning any game on the remaining schedule where Dylan and Ace aren't both 100%. So I think we're hosed for this one. That said, I don't like Northwestern's chances to make the NCAAs, even with a win here. The bottom 6-7 teams of our conference are going to be more conspicuous by the end of the year, and I think Northwestern will be among us. Whether RU is in the 12-15 range or the 16-18 range will seemingly depend on Dylan's health.

However, Harper isn't healthy.

Hate to say it, but if I were him I wouldn't risk a serious injury between now and June. He's a lottery pick whether he plays the rest of the season or not

Harper shouldn’t even dress.
If he does travel he shouldn’t play a minute.
Team needs to practice and prepare their rotations without him.
