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.

OT: oh oh oh Ozempic !

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.

Man’s win tonight

Bailey's overall game has gotten so much more complete, his rebounding and play around the rim has added a huge plus to the team, obviously a team guy and a very coachable kid, with an absolutely positive attitude. Great Court presence on the last play where he gets the ball to a wide open Grant before they can foul him. Ogbole has actually become a serviceable rebounder with a significant improvement at both ends of the court.

Well, we still don't box out ... and we might as well shoot FTs blindfolded ...

but the refs screwed us and we still had more points than they did.
Did u not see Ace take like 6 steps w/o a walk call?? He got the Lebron treatment and we were spared a crucial turnover

Also Minnesota up to 120 is huge. Now i expect them to likely slide a bit again but them being a Q3 game as opposed to Q4 is a big factor. Have to make sure that q123 mark is above 500. All our games left will be. 4-8 plus 9-4 gets us to 13-12 before any big 10 tournament game. Yes there are exceptions but you want to be 500 or above when all is said and done
The most Rutgers thing ever would be turning this season around, going 8-4 and then playing Minnesota last game in a must win game and losing that game……I have seen that movie before. In all honesty, I might take that scenario as we would at least be watching meaningful basketball the rest of the way.

OT: New York Mets 2024-2025 Off Season Thread

I don't think Alonso's issue is the money as much as the years

I'm sure if we offered like 4 / 100 or 110 he'd do it

Stearns wants to move on from him so that Vientos and Mauricio can both start on the regular.
Mauricio is currently a doubt to start the year healthy so don't think so.

The market is the market. If Pete were getting years or the money he wants he'd sign. He's obviously not at this point.
