THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-NEBRASKA PREDICTION THREAD

I have serious anxiety about this game. If there is a bubble, and if it's going to burst, this is the game. This isn't a prediction. I'm just being a fan.
I know that was a tough hard faught game in Iowa City the other night than some may think could cause this team to have a let down, but I just do not see it. Happened earlier in the month against the Illini and we bounced back with a home sweep over Indiana & Minny.
This team is resilient & hungry and if anything I think this just fuels them even more. We get back to playing our tough defense in our gym, Myles has a double/double as we look to take advantage of our size in the paint & on the glass and I think RU wins this one.
Couple Keys:
1. Strong defense on Cam Mack-He is there playmaker and drives this offense. I expect a healthy dose of Mathis & Young on him.
2. Guard the 3: They like to hoist up 3s or get to the lane so continue to play tough perimeter defense and do not get lazy on rotation. We do not double a ton nor is there a threat inside to force that so do not overhelp and leave an open shot.
3. Get in the Paint: As mentioned above, a steady dose of post play between Myles, RHJ & Yeboah with some outside shooting mixed in if they come to double.
I know the fear of the trap game & the waiting for the other shoe to drop because its Rutgers and we feel snakebitten but this team is different. I expect a focused locked in group to come up with a W.

Nebraska is the worse team in the B1G and Rutgers can't lose at home against a woeful opponent.The February schedule has many games where Rutgers could go into a losing streak if the team doesn't maintain home court domination.
I'm getting a similar vibe as well, Rutgers 108 - Nebraska 29
ESPN has it a 93% probability of a Rutgers win
I think the guys are ticked we lost at IOWA....score big
Rutgers 85
Nebbie 69

I’d be much more worried about the Purdue game on Tuesday night. We can’t completely overlook Neb, but if we play our game we will definitely win.
