THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-MINNESOTA PREDICTION THREAD

[bac2therac]

Minnesota scores ALOT...trying to run with them could be disaster and the game could get out hand, we simply do not have the offensive capabilities to trade baskets, your score actually would lend to the best chance we have to win which is so slow it down and reduce possessions

I agree. Still, they do not have many weaknesses. Slow it down and they will still win by 25. They are not that deep in terms of players. They have the best top five in the big ten I would assume. Isiah Washington is playing a good number of minutes, and he is not a strong 3 pt threat.

No matter what Rutgers tries, the game is going to be very hard. Their depth is the only thing to go after. Slow it down and their starting five will play the whole game.

Either way, Rutgers does not have a great chance.

I'm seeing RU +12.5

 

[RUsojo]

Geo's height will really help us in this matchup. Like the cover and would take extra points during the game.

Prediction: As is Rutgers tradition, Northwestern Purdue will go into triple OT cutting off nearly all of the first half of the RU game.

 

[bac2therac]

lets not forget that this is Rutgers first road experience of the season. I would not be surprised to see the younger guys frosh and sophs struggle

 

[dpwhite]

I hate to say it, but this one feels like a blowout.

Minn 90
Rutgers 68

I was close. Very close.

Your prediction, not so much.

 

[RUsojo]

Your prediction, not so much.

Yeah no good. At end of half didn't take any more points writing was on the wall. Won with UCF MSU SHU NW lost with RU. Waiting on Maryland -2.

 

[bac2therac]

what was the spread at gametime

 

[dpwhite]

Wow. That is all.

Rutgers played really well for 2/3s of the game, but clearly the talent isn't there yet. My kingdom for more shooters.

 

[bac2therac]

Yeah no good. At end of half didn't take any more points writing was on the wall. Won with UCF MSU SHU NW lost with RU. Waiting on Maryland -2.

how is Maryland only -2..wow

 

[GoFish2]

what was the spread at gametime

12.5

 

[RUsojo]

how is Maryland only -2..wow

My thoughts exactly.

 

[RUsojo]

how is Maryland only -2..wow

My thoughts exactly.

Well now they're in the midst of blowing a 19 point lead...

 

[bac2therac]

yeah quite the meltdown

 

[bac2therac]

wow just some stupid play by both teams the last few possessions, definitley not composed..

 

[bac2therac]

that may have been the worst played last 90 seconds I have ever seen in my lifetime. Maryland with a horrific meltdown....25 turnovers....15 for Illinois

 

[bac2therac]

send it into overtime

 

[RUsojo]

send it into overtime

Well at least it was entertaining...
