THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-RIDER PREDICTION THREAD
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
We struggle again offensively but do enough to beat a veteran Rider team who will be fired up to play us...and is also is hopefully a little tired after playing in Ireland on Saturday

Score will depend heavily on if Paul and/or Caleb play. Anyone have any info on this?

Coming off our lackluster (to say the least) performance the other day, we should be mad as hell. Not ready to say that about this team yet

Shooting much better at home. Their talent level doesn't match our's even without Mulcahey and McConnell.

Sluggish start. At the 8 minute mark it is a close game.
We have a 6 point half time lead.
We play better in the 2nd half and all of a sudden I look up at the scoreboard and somehow we are up 18.
We end up winning by 12 because we get a little sloppy.
Hopefully we get out and score 18 points in transition (aka fast break points)

Three concerns versus Rider:
1. They like to shoot threes, gotta defend the arc.
2. They appear to be decent on offensive boards. Have to box out and not allow second chances.
3. They tend to foul a lot (lost to Providence by 1 pt by fouling 29 times and Prov missed 17 FTs). So we need to shoot well from the line.*
*They also turn the ball over quite a bit, but interestingly, because they tend to foul a lot, while holding their own on the offensive glass, even with all their turnovers they take more shots from the field than their opponents.
Rutgers wins, 77-68.

So happy to be wrong about this one. The new guys stepped up big time tonight after the Temple loss.
Wow - fInal score 76-46 - pretty solid prediction. Nice job Cory.
