Sure can't hurt if active Nittany offense stops trying. Rutgers is never going easy, right? Pshaw. I know it's easy. Like layups

I knew Wisc was going to beat us
PSU could very well beat us too...ESPN says they have a 72% chance of a win
but
I think our guys match up well and are tired of losing
GEO does his magic in the last 2 minutes

Rutgers 67
PSU 64

I think Myles returns to being first half of the season Myles and he comes up BIG and we pull off the upset at State Penn 70-68.

Although we won at home, this won't be the same Penn St. bunch. I think they are a little too athletic for us, but maybe we get lucky for a change. PSU. 67. RU. 62.

They're better, they want revenge, they're home, they're a-hole Pedd State.

I expect a 12+ point blowout. They'll run it up if possible.

I predict time periods during the game where we are playing stifling, smothering defense but fail to extend or cut into a lead because we also can’t score.

That's not much of a prediction considering it has happened in at least 80% of our games. :)

When we played them at home Lamar Stevens never got going. He picked up two early fouls, had zero pts and 3 turnovers in the 1h. The guy is a lunatic he will remember.

Jones is out. This limits PSU offensively. Harper and Yeboah slow down Stevens enough to hurt PSU's offense. Myles doesnt have to play the perimeter vs Watkins and is more comfortable bc of it and has his best game in a while. We even see his hook off the backboard that has been MIA since early in the season. Caleb hits a couple 3's. Young gets loose in transition and some of these runners that have been rimming out go in. Rutgers wins. All rejoice.

Back to no predictions for me after the WI thread fiasco, lol, but my guess is either we come out and play like our hair is on fire and win just about wire to wire or we repeat the pattern of the past on the road, except this time, I worry there won't be that comeback and we lose by 15+. All I know is I just caught the last 5 minutes of the unforgettable RU-PSU A10 tourney final on BTN and I'm ready to rock!! If only Wenzel could have recruited as well as he could coach...
