Something of a revisit to an earlier thread: Can we get to 2019 with an 8-4 record? 9-3?

I think yes on 8-4.

9-3 with chances of 10-2 if we can steal Wisconsin or Miami. We seem to always have Wisconsin’s number no matter what the records of both teams

I’m secretly hoping for 10-2. Gotta have Miami.

 

[zebnatto]

You guys are more optimistic than I am. I’d be thrilled with 9-3.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Are you guys pencilling in a win over SHU?

Let's just take care of Boston than think about Miami. We always need to take one game at a time.

Come on. This is a Rutgers basketball “fan” board. We aren’t the players who have to take it one game at a time. No discussion of how we fare in conference? No discussion of recruiting? Only discussion of BU is okay?

We have one loss now and still play: @Miami, MSU, @Wisconsin, @SHU (and @Fordham) before 12/31. 9-3 would be pretty darn good. 10-2 might get us ranked.

I would sign on for 8-4 right now

 

[rubigtimenow]

The range is realistically 6 to 8 wins. And I think we're better than last year. I'd sign for 8 right now! At Miami, Michigan State, At Wisconsin, at Seton Hall. Which of those exactly are we winning to get us to 8 wins?

We’ve been great against Wisconsin at the RAC and at MSG. But, RU has only visited Wisconsin twice and gotten blown out both times. The Kohl Center is a very tough place to win.

Rutgers has a long history of losing games on the road .

 

[Local Shill]

This group is not ready to win in Madison. 1-35 in conference road games since joining. Let’s slow our roll.

 

[zebnatto]

We get to 8-4 by winning games in which we’re favored and taking one in which we’re dogs. Not a given but doable. 7-5 I’m disappointed. 6-6, woe is me. 9-3 I’m jumping for joy. 10-2, well . . . .

 

[Mr_Twister]

Sagarin has Miami whipping us by a sobering double-digit score. As per usual, hoping the experts are wrong.

Agreed to an extent... the 4 games we're not favored in aren't necessarily set-up in a way that screams "upset," with 3 on the road and the 1 home game against MSU... the most obvious win out of those would be SHU, but hard to predict a win in that game. Although, they dont exactly look great this year...

We Will struggle to score in Madison

 

[Local Shill]

If Rutgers went 2-8 in B1G road games it would be a monumental achievement. Think about that - 2-8.

I laughed at 10-2. I love you guys. Never change. Go RU!!!
