this one will be ugly.

 

[RUJMM78]

Wisconsin can make 3 pointers better than Rutgers can make layups.

Wisconsin 69 Rutgers 53

 

[RU-ROCS]

Wisconsin 71
Rutgers 55

This sounds about right, unfortunately.

 

[knights1212]

Last time we lost by 20 but I think it was only 6 with about 5 minutes left. I just hope we can play tough like in many of our other games and we can hit some shots. It will be difficult to win this one but we need to keep showing some improvement.

 

[Plum Street]

Badgers 72-54

 

[Scarlet Shack]

a competitive loss setting up for us to win the next to go to 14-10 with seven games to go

 

[RU MAN]

We will not win this game, but I think we'll be competitive because we're playing on a neutral court. Hopefully there will be enough RU fans there to support the team.

 

[bac2therac]

the last game wasnt close....RU was down 15 at halftime, the lead ballooned to 21 and the game was over. Credit RU for fighting back to get it to 9 without about 8 minutes but Wisky answered right away and the lead went back up and they won by 20 going away

 

[PiscatawayMike]

RU already playing a game at MSG will help the Scarlet Knights. Unfortunately, not enough to pull out the victory.

Wisconsin.......68
Rutgers...........60

[RUinSC]

I think it's going to be close. And I think more RU fans will turn out than folks think. Hell I'm flying up from SC for this!

A win against Iowa would be win 13 not 14.

 

[Scarlet Shack]

A win against Iowa would be win 13 not 14.

And then getting penn state on the road would be number 14

 

[NewJerseyHawk]

Corey missed the first 10 minutes of the first game and I can't see a real reason for Wisconsin to come in with guns blazing with a Noon start.

At some point, there will be some easier baskets for RU to convert and Wisconsin still lacks a lot of the athleticism to stay in front of quicker guards....Can we avoid getting shots blocked at the rim like last time and take the pull up 10-12 footer??

I think both teams are well scouted, well coached and RU hangs around for 30 minutes or so...

Wisconsin 68 RU 58....

 

[BillyC80]

Tied at 63 in regulation. Wisky takes it in OT by making more foul shots, 72-70.

Rutgers- 65
Wisconsin- 63

I feel like we can win 4-5 more games this season. I do not expect to win this one but we could keep it respectable.

 

[biazza38]

I predict we shoot better than 10-24 from the foul line.

[RUKnights86]

Like others I highly doubt we pull this game out given the level of competition that Wisconsin provides and how well of a program they are, however what I am more curious about is to watch the following:

1. How well they bounce back at the FT line vs. the Maryland Game
2. How the team and the coaching staff game plan and handle playing a team a second time.
3. Will they continue to play with what I perceived at Maryland to be more relaxed style after winning, meaning more confident in their game and not overthinking but rather just playing basketball.

As for a prediction...

[Mr_Twister]

I predict we shoot better than 10-24 from the foul line.

We will not be going to the charity stripe. Wisconsin is the NCAA's 9th ranked team for least personal fouls per game. They are long, lanky, strong, well-positioned, well-schooled, and disciplined on defense (and boxing out).

 

[PatrickRU92]

would feel a lot better if this was at HOME and not at the "Worlds Most Overrated Arena".

RU 87
Wis 37

 

[BobRC72]

Wisconsin by more than 20.
