Upcoming Games (MBB)

Does ESPN release winning odds for MBB like they do for CFB? I'm curious what they have on the next 6 games.

I know it's only been 2 close wins and it could be a fluke. But our next six of the last 13 are crucial if we want to make our way back into the post season convo:

@PSU
v MSU
@ NW
v Mich
v Illi
@ Maryland

We'll need to go 5-1 here basically.

That'll take us to 15-9 (8-5) going into the last 7. Still an uphill climb from there and probably need 4-5 of the last 7.

Great read. Thanks. Very interesting stuff.

Bailey’s release at present is much better than earlier in the year
Bailey as a whole has played excellent the last 8 games versus the first 8

47% from field, 37% from 3 are both pretty strong for a volume shooter

More importantly 9 rebounds per game over the last 6 games and 2.5 blocks

OT: oh oh oh Ozempic !

Ozempic is a weekly injection that's approved by the FDA to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. It's not approved for weight loss, but some doctors prescribe it for that purpose.

I believe the same thing happened with Fen Phen in the early 90's which was just supposed to be used for obesity, but then doctors started prescribing it to everybody who wanted to quickly drop a few pounds.

OT: Stock and Investment Talk

I have to admit, its been fun trading NUKK. I haven't been involved in a stock behaving like a meme stock but there is some validity to this company's investment in Israel's Iron Dome. Got in a couple days ago around 23 and sold it premarket today at 35. This is my second trade with NUKK in 2 weeks and both have been quite profitable. If it dips back into the mid 20's I'm gonna give another go.
P.S. I got out too early with CYFRF. Its now over 3.60.

Last night was our worst defensive night since November 16, 2019.....but

I think *how* you play bad defense factors into how it feels.

They only shot 45% against us so we did see them missing a fair bit and their EFG% of 52.4 is a bit high but not egregious. However,

we forced very few turnovers (7)
we gave up a huge number of ORebs (19 on 34 missed shots)

To the extend that DREB is a separate thing from defense really it was the DREB that was so atrocious
The box score linked to this board is showing 17 OReb for RU and only 14 OReb for Nebraska.

A little late to this discussion. I was also surprised to see Minnesota get a 17 spot jump but RU only gets a 3 spot jump.

Columbia is 3 spots away from being Q3. They need to go on a run. Meanwhile, RU needs to follow up their best win of the season with another huge road W on Monday to get closer out of the grave. Big opportunity against a team that has lost 4 straight but will definitely show up to play us.

@ Mich, @Oregon and @ Purdue are the 3 we’d all say are most certain losses, but a win at any of those will really push the needle
Road opportunities are littered all over the schedule. Maryland, Northwestern, Washington are road games that if you want to steal into the win column, would help the metrics. Those 3 games mixed with a Nebraska road win, could help offset the Harper absence at Indiana and not close to 100% vs Wisconsin and Purdue.

What world do you live in. Rutgers didn’t require the vaccine for its students into 2023.

Just as an aside, my younger son Corey started at Rutgers in Fall of 2023, and literally up until August Rutgers was saying that they were going to require all students to get the booster. Middle of August they finally dropped that ridiculous requirement.

Anyone else notice Gavin?

As someone who usually does not feel sorry for transfers, I also feel bad for this kid. Was such a hyped recruit, ended up coming to RU because of his Dad's connections with Pike and leaves unexpectedly. Probably got sold a bill of goods by Nebraska and now rides the Pine and will end up transferring again.

Gotta be tough to have that much hype and amount to nothing.
He's not nothing but yes over his head. He should definitely drop down a bit. Shame he also just lost another year. But..he's getting paid so there's that.
