Ongoing opponent watch

[kcg88]

Simpson is ridiculous at getting into the lane. Better than Dosunmu, Carr, even Winston at this specific thing.

 

[MadRU]

Nogel Eastern not even in the game in OT. Preseason all conference selection.

 

[kcg88]

We need Myles Johnson to develop a FT stroke like Williams or Cockburn.

 

[cubuffsdoug]

Michigan without Livers doesn’t scare me at all. I think the Purdue big men would give us some issues.

Purdue's big men really don't play well together. Plus, Rutgers advantage at Guard could dictate Purdue's line up.

 

[MadRU]

Now Eastern is on on defense, subs out on offense.

 

[kcg88]

I can't believe Michigan is refusing to even fake a double-team at Trevion Williams. Make him pick up his dribble.

Coaching malpractice from Juwan Howard.

 

[kcg88]

Another double OT game for Purdue... wow.

 

[bac2therac]

that could have been a shot clock violation there but i get why they wouldnt stop possession there...Michigan should have been able to get something better than that though

really if they do not win this game, it will be a disappointing loss for them and raise concerns over how good they are. You cant lose this game at home in a second overtime against a banged up Purdue

 

[kcg88]

Williams is worn down. Should be Michigan's to win now.

 

[MadRU]

Haarms has hip injury.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

You're dumber than most self-loathing small-time football fans if you think Powell wouldn't have gotten to his average (22/game) if not injured. 24 at Xavier tonight, far superior team to rutgers. Simple math. I'm sure as a rutgers grad you're splitting atoms and paid for Schiano's car. Is it really that hard to figure out?

Powell is so amazing, he scores above his average against every opponent.

 

[BillyC80]

We need Myles Johnson to develop a FT stroke like Williams or Cockburn.

Well he’s already shown he can make 45% from there so shouldn’t be a problem.
:Wink:

 

[MadRU]

Minnesota vs Michigan State now.

 

[bac2therac]

36-32...closer than expected. Izzo not happy at all with his team and he is right

 

[kcg88]

36-32...closer than expected. Izzo not happy at all with his team and he is right

Playing the same way they did against us.

 

[RUtrumpet92]

Feels like the 2nd half will include what the Spartans often do: wake up and take over the game. We shall see. If they lose, hey, we're playing for 1st place on Saturday!

Watching MSU and Minny on ESPN2 and they were talking how MSU is at top of B1G but then gave a shout out to Rutgers and also mentioned Todd Frazier too. Nice to be getting love everywhere,

 

[kcg88]

Playing the same way they did against us.

Michigan State wins 74-58. Almost a carbon copy of our game against them.

 

[PiscatawayMike]

B1G home teams go 3-1 today. Wiscy was the only road team to emerge victorious, winning at PSU. The Badgers now have two road wins and are the only league team to lose at home and win on the road.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

SHU did a great job on Howard in their win today in front of a very big crowd at The Rock

 

[bac2therac]

Dayton over UMass

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

St Bonnie's beat Fordham by 20

 

[bac2therac]

Bryant loses to Mt St Marys

 

[bac2therac]

Drexel and Lafayette win

 

[bac2therac]

Pitt loses at Miami, Pitt is barely a Q1 game right now, I fear they are headed to Q2 soon.

Thanks. Why isn’t Illinois on the road a Q1 loss? They’re 37 and the range for road losses is 1-75.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

Sf Austin i think is 93 now...they continue to plunge down

They beat Central Arkansas by only 1 last night. I was killed when i said they weren't that good. If the way they play defense works more teams would do it.

Duh.... mental lapse. Fixed.

 

[goru7]

Mixed bag yesterday. Pitt over UNC, Drexel over William and Mary, SfA over Incarnate Word, but St. Bonnie’s got drilled by VCU, Umass got drilled by George Washington, Navy edged Lafayette,Bryant lost 4th straight to LIU at home. Penn state drilled OhioState and Seton Hall came back to beat St. John’s. Overall a decent day as out of conference strength of schedule which 340 early is up to 283 in Kenpom.

we can root for St Bonnies like heck to get into the top 100 but its going to be tough

 

[Scarlet Blind]

Tonight's games

St. Bonaventure @ Dayton
Providence @ Seton Hall
UMass @ George Mason
Army @ Lafayette
SF Austin @ NW St.

Pittsburgh keeps ping-ponging between Q1/Q2, so hopefully they end up on the Q1 side of the line when the season ends.
UMass now ahead of Nebraska, but both are possibly Q3 home wins depending on how the season plays out.
No games against teams 300+, either, for now.
