Here we go ....covid willing predictions

Enjoy !!!

1.) assuming we get 30 plus games, Ron Harper Jr will score his 1000th point in March.

2.) Geo Baker, if he comes back for a 5th year....has a chance to finish in the top 5 scorers all time for Rutgers...

3.) at least five Different guys will Lead the team
In scoring during a game this year...Baker, Harper, Mathis, young and mulchay

4.) Myles Johnson will have 10 double doubles, but average more rebounds per game (close to 9) than points per game (around 8)

5.) Montez Mathis will get to 1000 points in his fourth year ...and if they play five years total, Jacob young, Paul Mulcahy, Caleb macconell, myles Johnson will all get to 1000 points. That would be seven guys on the 2020-2021
Team that get to 1000 in a career. Last time we had that many guys get to 1000....we went to the final four (sellers,Bailey, dabney, Jordan, Copeland and Anderson)

6.) one of Jacob young or geo Baker will improve there three point shooting by TEN percent this year. Call it a case of senioritis....

7.) with everyone keying on Geo Baker in the end game of close games....Ron Harper will hit two game winning shots this season.

8.) Jim Boeheim is going to be thrilled that the RAC attendance will be 8000 less than it should be, but it won’t matter after Rutgers solves the 2-3 Zone for a 75-62 won ...and their internet board will be in full blown denial that, on the court, we are better than them....

9.) RU will climb in the top ten in the rankings at some point in the season

10.) Rutgers will finally beat a big ten team from Michigan this season

11.) Rutgers will fall out of the top ten rankings at some point this season. Boo....

12.) yours truly might need a go fund me page to raise money for my legal defense for all of the trespassing citations I may get for trying to sneak
Into the RAC this season ...and later in Indianapolis this March ...

13.) We are going to have one night where we shoot poorly and someone from this forum will start a post saying that we should not have let Peter kiss transfer .....sigh

14.) we will shoot 70% from the line as a team
This year ...and yet, someone Will start a thread saying that we are a lousy free throw shooting team
Still

15.) My man Montez Mathis gets back to scoring double digits per game ...as does Jacob young.

16.) We average 73.8 ppg per game and our offensive efficiency goes way up. Amazing what having experience will do for our offensive efficiency ....

17.) the big ten gets 8 teams in the NCAA ...with 5 of them as 5 seeds or higher

18.) Steve P will finally get a Technical foul in a big ten game ...And his entire team will have their jaw drop at the same time ....:)

....and last but not least, for the best Two prediction

19.) Rutgers will win multiple NCAA games this ...

Bonus ...and while Ron Harper might hit two game winners for us, it will be Geo Baker that hits a game winner for us in the NCAA tournament, and gets a cameo in “One Shinning Moment Video”....

Reactions: RutHut and RU_EB
Paul Mulcahy has 8 points 9 rebounds and 9 assists and Pike takes him out of the game in a blowout win against Iowa. The same poster who 2 weeks earlier was upset about the loss of Kiss cant understand why Pike (who had no idea of the line) would take him out
 
#10 would be very nice...especially if it were both teams....I'd like to hear Izzo say "I knew it was only a matter of time. Steve is a great coach!" which will draw ire from their fanbase calling for him to retire, that time has passed him by when the Great Spartans lose to lowly Rutgers...
 
Having a hard time believing we can increase our FT percentage to 70%. We lost our two best FT shooters from last year (Yeboah and McConnell), and we have two "high usage" guys -- Young and Mathis -- who struggle to shoot 60%, and a starting Center who can't even shoot 40%.

Can guys improve year over year? Yes, of course, and I HOPE you're right.
