We could use a break. I hope he sits out and we clamp down on the Hawkeyes tonight for the W.

 

[SJScarlet]

Well they put up 85 on Ohio state without him...Patrick Ewing effect

 

[bac2therac]

while they did do well without him last game, that was at home, on the road much tougher task for young team to do, I expect him to play

 

[LeapinLou]

No matter how you slice it, our chance of winning is better if he doesn't play. But like Bac, I kind of feel like he will be in there.

 

[RUChoppin]

I don't think Jok will start, but if things aren't looking good for the Hawkeyes I think he plays. I think he'll still be a bit limited, though.

We are a better defensive team than Ohio State. We need to make sure to get out on Ellingson, though, who is lethal from range and will be seeing expanded minutes if Jok is on the bench. We have the best 3P% defense in the league right now... but Iowa puts up 21 threes a game on average, accounting for about a third of their overall shots (Ellingson went 5-7 against OSU, and is shooting .537 from behind the arc so far this season in limited minutes).

I repeat ... Rutgers is the Lourdes of college sports.

Why isn't he playing? Protesting?

Why isn't he playing? Protesting?

He's been out with a back injury. Missed OSU. Hopefully sits out tonight, too.

we roll over them either way. Rutgers by 13

we roll over them either way. Rutgers by 13

That would be an impressive outcome.

Iowa has won just one game away from their campus and that was a neutral site win over Northern Iowa. They've simply struggled away from home.

Meanwhile I expect Tyler Cook to play much better than he did in the first game. Will be interesting to see what Uhl gives them off the bench. Looks like Jok could be a game time decision.

Im dying for a win after being at MSG for that loss.... Coreys gonna come out with an edge. Thinking 22-25 points for him.

Wow, that could be big.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

And Iowa will come out very hard with something to prove. Our mindset should be as if Lebron James will be suiting up for them tonight.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

This is not a Joking matter. Whether he was going to play or not, we need to win this game tonight!

oh fudge!

Penn State was missing a bunch of key players and they kicked our ass. We still have to show up but this helps.

Penn state was not missing players when they played us. they had a couple guys coming off being sick and they played (very well) but did not start.

And we were up 9 at their place.

 

[bac2therac]

no excuse tonight, Iowa is a bad road team starting 4 freshmen I believe, way younger than RU and the team leader and experienced player isnt there. MUST WIN

 

[Blitz Pakage]

Must win is right! Gotta have this one!

 

[higgins3]

With the stomping they put on OS, I do expect this to still be a game.

So far with about seven minutes left in the game Rutgers isn't playing either.

Nice predictions.
