Northwestern 60 RUTGERS 53 in front of 3,777 at the RAC
Assuming loss every game from here on out, and will hope to be pleasantly surprised/shocked by a W.
Damn...we need two to match last years 14-17.
Never thought it would come to this
Hope to get one tomorrow
Rutgers wins 62-61
bac, not to hijack the thread but when is your first bracketology come out? Or do you wait till right before the tourney?
We had 2-15 before finishing up with Illinois and then Ohio State and it wasn't pretty before then....As strange as it appears, we are potentially looking at 2-15 before Illinois comes to the RAC again, but the program is significantly better on paper and in the future.
As far as the present and NW, it was based on 3 wins over RU, that helped pushed the Wildcats forward and for some reason, NW seems to be streakier than last year....Bryant McIntosh went scoreless at Maryland on Saturday in a 16 point loss.
I'm not sure where NW is this year....perhaps not as sharp as last year, but good enough to beat Michigan last week by 9 at home.
At Rutgers
Michigan State
Maryland
Wisconsin
At Iowa
This is the remaining NW slate....on paper, they have a shot at 10-8 and 19-12 overall....the question is whether that resume is enough to dance...
It would be 2 wins over Wisconsin, 2 over Minnesota and 1 over Rutgers as 5 of the 10 league wins, if they get out of the RAC with a W....my instincts tell me that while they may win here tomorrow, they will struggle to do so.
Can they win 4 out of 5 down the stretch....?? Are they really in need of a win over Michigan State at home to make the resume legitimate and will they look past RU, just a bit??
I think getting Mike and Eugene back is a start to a potential win here, can we control McIntosh and Pardon on the glass.
RU keeps game in the low 60's.....RU 62, NW 59.....
Its a hard call between the current and last years team because scoring even 60 points against B1G opponents for both teams has been very difficult to achieve.Northwestern's only shot at dancing would be to win all 5 of those games and then pull another upset of one of the top 3 in the Big 10 tourney...its not going to happen but I would not necessarily say that they cant beat MSU on a good day.
an interesting question for the board would be which team would win...2017 RU vs 2018 RU...I actually disagree with you...I think 2017 RU was better

I've been saying this since Mike got injured, and it became doubly so when Gene went down.
Of course, they're both back, but not sure how much we can really expect from them. Gene looked like his old self against Nebraska, but Mike didn't really do much. Maybe with the rust off a bit, we can get back to where we were before the injuries -- which was a team that had a chance to beat anybody, anywhere, anytime. NW has been an enigma this year, and I'm going to predict a victory here.
RU 67
NW 64
Going for the W! Corey with 29 and Issa hits some big treys!
RU 68-Them 64
