Doesn’t mean we don’t beat them

Didnt say it did, but it definetly has something to do with their ranking.

This guy thinks we will be 17-3 in conference and 8-3 on the road??

Is this Rutgers Al's account?

No - I think I recall from BAC’s bracket analyses that he’s a pretty big guru? Could be thinking of someone else. His model refresh overnight now has us losing one more game at Penn State for a 27-4 overall finish.

Mike Woodson is a very good coach, he was just getting his feet wet last year, I will not be surprised if they are very tough this year.

This is not Archie Miller's teams PLUS we are going to see the best from them from an effort stand point.

If I was an Indiana player I'd be thinking about what Ron Harper Jr did on my court and it would definitely give me added motivation.

Speaking of him, Archie Miller is struggling early, taking over for David Cox, a talented, but young, Rhode Island team with losses at home to Quinnipiac and Texas St so far. Rhode Island might be a team to watch to make noise at the end of the season. Former Rutgers target Jalen Carey is there but hasn't lived up to his recruit ranking.

Big deal. Ron is not here for them to have that motivation and another Rutgers player will do enough to kick their ass and win. No matter how much they are motivated to beat us. Do you not think they were motivated last year with the almost same cast of characters on their home court in a game they absolutely needed to get into the tournament and we still beat them. We are in their heads and I expect nothing but a Rutgers victory at the RAC (JMA) on December 3.

If we somehow had a miracle season and finished 27-4 like that model predicted.... how high would we be ranked?

Idk but Jerry Palm would have us last 4 in

High enough to get a 1 seed.

Also just by typing that post I feel like I've doomed us to losing on Friday. Maybe I should delete it.

Temple could be a weird game for us. Likely small fan turnout on neutral court and maybe no Paul or Caleb

Looing at the title of this thread...
This week it is 8 votes and a rating in teh top 40.

FWIW, which is very little unless we continue to win.
