THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-WAKE FOREST PREDICTION THREAD

Wake can score and we can’t. Don’t think they are a good defensive team, but don’t think it will matter

Wake 77
RU 67
 
Another loss made less painful by a certain pre-game announcement.
 
I heard on the Rutgers Rant podcast this week that Rutgers has 10 straight losses in OOC games away from the RAC in the past few years. That's a stunning stat, and unfortunately I think it continues tomorrow.

Wake -- 74
Rutgers -- 68
 
Their resume to date is mediocre AF. This will be an easier game than IL.

RU 71
WF 65
 
Defensive performance against Illinois was very bad. That will not sit well with Pike. Defense will be on point this game, RU wins a low scoring game.
 
There’s stats and then there’s matchups. I think we’ll do better on the boards and we’ll force turnovers which is becoming our calling card.

I’d feel better at home but my guess is we keep it close on the road. Possible OT, may come down to FTs.

RU squeaks by, 70-68.
 
Wake Forest 73
Rutgers 61

They have better scorers, we can’t rebound and we never win games away from home, out of conference anyway. No chance.

Lose a heartbreaker 74-72 on a buzzer beater 3 after refs blow a call late
 
Rutgers is a 1-2 point underdog. In normal times 90% would pick RU in a close to pick em game

Rutgers goes on the road. Wake Forest gets disrupted by our 3/4 press. Our offense finds it a lot easier to play against a ACC team.

I know WF is better than Georgetown but I see it as a similar game where we have the look as a better team

I dont like how we are playing. We have so much to inprove. I still see us as a .500 team

With that said
RU 74
WF 62

In the words of Mr. TV…”take it to the bank”

Gavin will not get abused defensively and be good on O

The RU jinx is back. There Gonzaga transfer center gets NCAA waiver just in time for our game. RU waiver requests always reside at the bottom of the NCAA pile. He is an impact player and will make our small upset more difficult. But I think the team regroups after the last game performance and plays their best game of the year. Wouldn't it be nice if Mag plays to offset Elliot on WFU. Ru gets 3 point win.
 
WF is a bad defensive team. I think it will be the Noah and Gavin show. 77-70 good guys.

Kind of with contrarian FIG here... when most people think we suck, the team has responded with a win in year's past. Maybe it's a game early and it's full capitulation for the SHU game and we win there
