One of two things will happen.
1. 63 -62 RU win.
2. 72 - 52 Minny win.

Really hoping for option 1.

The performance of both teams doesn't inspire fan confidence.I'm hoping that Rutgers can show a pulse on offense for enough minutes to earn a win.

Rutgers 65- Minnesota 61

Desperation time for the boys. They feel it now. Will they wilt? Or play like their pants are on fire? We can play suffocating d and I expect that to be the case

Minn beat Ohio State, Mich, Purdue, and Iowa at home. That's impressive. I'm thinking... we lose there, too. You never know, though.

I just can't pick Rutgers right now to beat Minnesota at their place. We never seem to play well there, and our team is just imploding right now. Doesn't matter how many guys are out injured for the Gophers, they're going to find a way to beat a poor-shooting/reeling Scarlet Knight squad.

Unfortunately, our NCAA hopes will be riding on winning a game or two in the B1G tournament.

Rutgers only wins if we jump on them early. I am hoping the score is more lopsided in Rutgers' favor. I don't see Minnesota up for this 11am game with nothing to play for and Pitino one foot out the door.

RU has been better in games with a must-win feel. Minnesota is at home and due to look like a B1G team again. idk

Rutgers failed to show up for a must win game against Nebraska and their NCAA seeding dropped to a nine seed.

Would you use your best pitcher tomorrow or save him for the B1G tournament?
Assuming he’s had full rest.

I think I’d use him tomorrow, I would always rather get the win sooner than later. In this environment especially a game a week from now is not even 100% certain to happen.

If the opponents were different and it were a normal year it might be different though. Like if tomorrow’s game were Nebraska and I needed either that one or the BTT game I would save the hypothetical pitcher for the BTT.

Even this game isn't actually must win, we still have 2 chances to get 1 win.
You are making assumptions not based on facts.Nobody knows how the NCAA seeding will react to Rutgers possibly losing two straight games to Nebraska and Minnesota.The point being win the game on Saturday and take the doubt away .
