THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-INDIANA PREDICTION THREAD

I like our team a lot. But I also think Indiana is a legit title contender this year.

Indiana 74
Rutgers 63

This seems about right.

I wonder what the predictions would be if we started the season and were at full strength all year, and came in 7-0.

My guess then would be a close RU win, due to the RACmosphere.

That said, I’ll go with 69-67 RU.

I would have felt better if we won the other night. I'm worried

RU 78
Indiana 30

A much better prognostication than most on this thread. Kudos

Rutgers 70 Indiana 52.

 

[Loyal_2RU]

Rutgers 75-61

Pretty close on the margin

Indiana 93-57

Nailed it.

Without Paul—too many to’s for RU and breakaway Indie points.

RU 61 - IU 69

Need Paul back.

Indiana 93-57

I really hope I am wrong here and get killed for my prediction………..

I usually don’t have high conviction on individual games. I have a strong feeling Indiana beats us bad.

Rutgers kyrptonite is teams putting strong on ball pressure on our guards. That is exactly what IU did to UNC and took them completely out of their offensive flow. If they can do it to UNC guards it can be done to RU guards. Making matters worse will be the revenge factor for what Ron did on their court

I expect Paul to play, our only chance is to play GREAT defense and make a much higher percent of 3s and 1s than normal.

Indiana 66
Rutgers 45

IU has been putting up a lot of points. Granted a lot of it has been against weak competition, they still put 81 and 77 on Xavier and UNC, respectively. How much will they score on us? We need to keep them at least below 65, which will take a huge defensive effort. Let’s see what Pike has up his sleeve. I suspect we’ll play with intensity and emotion but fall short again.

Part of RAC Magic is having the players to make it work for you. I said before the season that Harper and Geo will be missed beyond their stat lines and that will be apparent tomorrow.

Thank you Diddy! But I would make that 70-62. Let’s go!

Not without a healthy Paul. The Hoosiers are legit, and TJD is going to give Cliff fits on both sides of the court.

Ru couldn't beat Miami, they won't beat Indiana. Indy 75 RU 66

Indiana 67, Rutgers 63

This seems about right.

A lot of lousy prognosticators on this site. Has Proud ever been right in anything he has said?

I stand by it. This was a huge win

I picked RU to win (see the last line of my post).

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I love being wrong. We were/are as tough as nails. I thought this was a different Indiana team. I hope I am right that this isn’t the same IU team and we were that good defensively.

I know but I threw you in because you said RU in a close one. LOL. Just trying to be fair. Sorry you were the one from the correct side I chose.

Simple explanation - we just like beating Indiana.

We were suffocating

Pretty much

Xavier Johnson melted
TJD didn’t step up (see line above for partial reason)

 

[wisr01]

Booo 😉

Sacrificial lamb...you know how it is.

 

[RU848789]

Didn't post it, but before the game I said to a couple of friends that I thought we'd win if Paul was back and healthy. Although it's possible we could've won this game without Paul, given how well we played at Miami (except for the end). Great dominant win, fueled by high energy defense and just enough offense, i.e., Pike-etball
