Absolutely would be great to get the win tonight out of the way. It would also keep us in the race for the double bye and be another significant road win to downplay the idea that RU cannot win on the road. Then I like our chances the rest of the way.

I just hope our guys are safe having to play this middling team of thugs. Coached by criminals.

Just blowing off some steam... I absolutely despise it when people say college basketball is all about March Madness and it is the only thing fans care about. Tell that to diehard hoops fans, who, year after year, watch their teams battle in February for the opportunity to compete in the Big Dance.

For the past few weeks, I, along with many of you, have been living and dying with each game Rutgers plays. These February games are just as important, and often more important, than games played in March.

That is all.

Yup. The wins and losses to get the the tournament is a doozie of a roller coaster …and you can’t play in March without conquering January and February ….

I'll say this... which I did not think was true back in the Big East days.. but being part of Big Ten basketball is pretty awesome. Maybe it is because we never threatened in the Big East... the Providence mob would not have permitted that... but we did beat some high ranked teams... but the Big Ten just seems more... I was going to say MORE IMPORTANT... but "MORE" is enough.

While I do agree that "thugs and criminals" is a bit much.. mainly because people become overly offended where "thug" is used... even if it is apropos. But when Howard defended his actions with Turgeon.. in a CoVid-Empty arena... and said he was raised by the streets of Chicago... I think he owned up to the "thug" moniker fairly well... and thus might have no issues with recruiting "thugs" or have no problem with them acting like "thugs".

But if you want to call it something else to avoid using "thug".. I'll use whatever word any critic deems permissible. Just tell me what that is.

Cliff just needs to box out Dickinson and any oppty he gets he should just fall forward as he typically goes over the back EVERY Time so maybe we get a few early calls there

Its similar to if we were playing Indiana...get TJD in a screen situation and he sets a moving one every time...just have to overexaggerate a bit on getting caught in it so ref gets the attention

I’ll be surprised if our guys don’t show up ready to play for this one.

I just hope the refs don’t start calling chippies like they did at Purdue.

We'll show-up. Bad blood from the end of our game at Jersey Mike's RAC-the dirty pick by Dickinson on McConnell followed by the Diabate meltdown.

He literally had to be restrained by 3-4 guys at the end of the Rutgers game yes this guy is a thug and should have been suspended for that incident that is why these things continually happen at Michigan as they are an extension of their coach

I thought Diabate would get an extra game suspension due to prior incidents

Geo scored 27 against Michigan earlier and the first game he looked healthy and he saw the 2 guards that are 6 and 6’1 and his eyes lit up. I expect the same along with Paul running the show as well.

As large as they come.
It comes on the heels of almost breaking into the top 25.
A misstep here will really crush our positive perception wave, especially against an undermanned team.
GO RU.
So tough because all these games are absolute dogfights

The Wisconsin game earlier this month was a bigger game.
