THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-NEBRASKA PREDICTION THREAD

[bac2therac]

didn't SJU handily beat them at their place?

that was early in the year. SJU is awful anyhow. Nebraska has improved greatly. Nowhere near the same team. However they still are not a good road team.

Remember RU beating SHU was a real headscratcher too so things happen. If RU gets blown out by 20 then its bad news. This should be a close competitive 50/50 type game. Nebraska needs this game more than RU simpy for the fact that there NCAA hopes rest on finishing strong

 

[MV9000]

Were a different team every other game these days. So im at a loss w/ my prediction.

I expect home court, a tired team from a monday game, we had some rest, we will pull this out with a 5-8 point win.

Lets go RU

It was at the Garden.

 

[yellowlot]

65-63 RU

ditto most comments, we need to defend and hit some shots, but this one probably comes down to a good bounce either way.

 

[TobyTyler1]

Their offensive game plan is ball to Palmer, everybody else GTFOW

 

[higgins3]

Who guards Palmer? I hope issa tthia m or Baker.

 

[TobyTyler1]

Palmer higher usage guy than Corey is for us, #6 in conf

[kcmoknight]

Can't expect to win against teams like this making turnover mistakes the way we have. Just brutal... could get over the hump.

Doesn't help that Issa had an absolutely horrific game... 1/10 is just awful, from a guy who is supposed to be a halfway decent shooter.
