Wednesday's opponent

[Local Shill]

-If Illinois beats Penn State this afternoon, RU plays Illinois

-If Illinois loses, RU will meet Northwestern or Nebraska. Those two teams play today in Evanston.

RU can not play PSU, whch is locked into the 9, 10 or 12 - we play the 11.

Someone correct me if this sounds wrong.

Go Illinois.

Careful of what you wish for.....2014 BE tournament flashback....

 

[Plum Street]

I feel the first win of the confernce season is the toughest to get . We got it so expect a tournament run of at least 2 games for Rutgers .

Smoking crack?

 

[Mr Magoo]

I also think Illinois is our best chance to win a game.

 

[Plum Street]

Smoking crack?

Still a little early in the day for that , no ?

I think this team has a magic run in it .

 

[RutgersJoe]

Hopefully not Nebraska who beat us by a combined 58 points over 2 games already. Wouldn't mind another crack at Illinois.

 

[RUONTHERISE]

I'll take Illinois or northwestern

 

[Rutgers69]

Final: PSU 86 ILL 79 (2OT)

Rut roh...

 

[RUonBrain]

Too bad we can'r play MN again... And again...

 

[bac2therac]

Northwestern and Nebraska are terrible matchups...did we lose these games by a combined 110 points or something like that

 

[knight82]

Do we get the winner or the loser of that game?

 

[shields]

First Nebraska game Laurent did not play and Williams and Goode guarded Shields at times. Northwestern game we did have two walk-ons play.

 

[ruman]

Looks to be Nebraska.

 

[Mr Magoo]

too bad. I really thought we would have beaten Illinois.

 

[bac2therac]

Nebby housed Rutgers the 2nd game with Laurent

 

[Knightmoves]

Every reason to believe that this game vs Nebby is Eddie's swan song at RU.

Wouldn't be surprised if Eddie already knows that he is gone. I expect a Hobbs presser on Thursday.

 

[shields]

The second game? Do you remember when that was? After triple overtime game, guy on Big Ten Network thought we would have a lot of trouble. No bench and playing three overtimes and flying to Nebraska. Lewis I believe played over 40 minutes vs Illinois. I can imagine how he felt the next few days.

 

[ruman]

Nebraska has lost like 8 of 10. No excuse for us to get blown out. We should be able to compete with them.

 

[shields]

Expect to be competitive, need Williams to shoot well again.

 

[BIGRUBIGDBIGredmachine]

Kansas transfer Andrew White III is a match-up nightmare for RU. Hope Laurent can slow him down.

many of those games were without Shields who was knocked out during the RU game.

while they have been floundering and clearly arent as good as they were early on when they upset Michigan State, they just have too much offensive firepower to slow down. I think RU could stay close for a half but I would be shocked if this game wasnt a double digit win for Nebraska
