1st three B1G games are @Ill, PU, UM....those are the teams that will be picked 1-2-3 in the B1G preseason poll. Ouch.
Just asking: you're giving us losses to Clemson AND the Hall? I'm not sure we go 10-1 or 11-0 in Non conference either but to contemplate splitting those two and a WTF loss could be curiously bad...
I'll go with 10-1 and 10-10
I give us roughly these chances:
@ UMass - 75% to win
@ Depaul - 60% to win
vs. Clemson - 70% to win
@ Seton Hall - 50% to win
That's 2.55 expected wins out of 4. So a toss-up between 2-2 and 3-1.
Bart Torvik actually gives us the following chances:
@ UMass - 53% to win
@ Depaul - 43% to win
vs. Clemson - 63% to win
@ Seton Hall - 27% to win
That's 1.86 expected wins.
If we go 3-1 or 4-0 I'll feel good about our tournament chances. 2-2 and it'll be looking like an NIT caliber team.
One quirk for the 1/4 Michigan game:
The Wolverines play in Orlando at UCF on 12/30. Then they'll presumably go back to Ann Arbor, and then they have to travel to New Jersey for the game on the 4th. That's a lot of traveling whereas Rutgers doesn't have to travel outside of the state after December 3. The Wolverines' very next game is a rivalry game against MSU too. Can't get a better draw against an elite team than that.

I’m personally no longer worried about “WTF” losses in non-conference play under Pikiell in year 6, but whether we go 10-1, 9-2, or even 8-3, the key to a tourney appearance will still be our B1G play.

Gotta find 1 win in those first 3 B1G games. If we do that, I think we will roll with a softer January schedule.
It’s not like these teams fly commercial . They charter flights and will be home on the 30th, home for 3 days and fly to jersey on 1/3. It’s really not that bad . Maybe hope for a snowstorm in Michigan so they can’t get home for a couple days !
These aren’t predictions. I actually am not optimistic about the season.
the best bubble estimate is 18-13. With our schedule the most likely way we’d go is 9-2 9-11.
UMASS, Depaul, Clemson and SHU plus small chance of upset in other 7 is how I arrive at 9-2.
just looking at umass Depaul Clemson SHU a 2-2 record is the most probable.

I disagree here. Each of our 25+ games (20 B1G , B1GT, dep, Clem, SHU Mass) has almost the same importance.
9-2 9-11 equals 8-3 10-10 equals 7-4 11-9.
I will take the over with my Scarlet colored glasses.
I need to know what Harper and Baker I get. If we get 2020-21 versions we are looking at a LONG season.
You will get similar seasons because their goals aren't to dominate the ball and take 40 shots between them.
RU is in a player role and development mode that is or will expand roles for Cliff, Caleb, Hyatt, Mulcahy and Jones to fill in the production of the departed Myles, Mathis and Jacob Young.
Add in a reliable Ralph Agee and this is a balanced roster. It would be a bad sign if you see significant production increases from RHJ and Baker.....
I am talking about defense and making shots. Quality and not quantity
Just mapped out my schedule for the season. Going to be going to probably about 15 games. Got lucky with only 2 tax season Saturday games and those being Nebraska and wisky is not too bad
Although it will be difficult , because of the pandemic and the lack of fans, the return of the RAC crazies will propel us to a 17-0 undefeated home record. Have to take care of business in the out of conference road games at DePaul, at Umass, and at Seton Hall . Our rebounding has to return to pre 2020 levels, which was really dismal last year, and the offense and defense will fall in place . Lots of options offensively, but I believe Ron and Geo will have their best seasons on the banks to propel us to the top 3 -4 in the conference with a chance down the stretch . . I think defensively, Pike gets the guards to make up for Jacob, and Hyatt , Mag, and Ron and Cliff take another huge step defensively. Enjoy the ride as it will be an exciting season . If the early Olympic sports success is any indication, , , Rutgers will be a force in the Big 10 the rest of this decade.
Can’t wait until March as we go to the NCAAs for the third year in a row. Keep it going Coach Pike !
The stretch from 2/5 thru 3/2 is absolutely brutal. 8 really really tough games. Have to hope Wisconsin has a bad year.
Really like starting with a tough schedule. Gives the team something to motivate toward early and provides a measuring stick.. if we raise the level of play for them.. even if we lose.. the lesser teams will seem like cupcakes in comparison.
