Rutgers is 5-0…

… against the four teams (Maryland, Penn State, Oregon, and Northwestern) below us in the standings, and 0-13 against the 13 teams above us.
after OOC play finished i predicted 5 wins and 1 major upset. Looks like we have a shot at 6 but the upset seems unlikely now.

They're only 5-0 against these teams, because RU willed their way to make it 5-0.

I am almost certain they've only been favored in one B1G game, which was hosting Maryland. That means they've won 4 games as outright underdogs.

Considering Penn State has won at Minnesota and at Washington and beat Iowa yesterday at PSU, there's little separation between these squads.

True, there is zero separation among the bottom five teams. Minnesota and Washington are a tick better than the bottom five.

First tier - Michigan
Second tier - Illinois, Purdue, MSU, Nebraska
Third tier - Wisconsin, Iowa, UCLA, OSU, USC, Indiana
Fourth tier - Minnesota, Washington
Fifth tier - Rutgers, NW, Oregon, PSU, MD

Let’s get to 6….and then focus on keeping our core pcs and seeing what we can add to the portal to improve

Thinking that he starting lineup today gives a hint on who Pike is going to try and keep and who is probably gone. Only exceptions might be Zrno and Davis.

I’m really not sure on any of this right now. At this point, the season, baring a historic big ten tournament run, will be over in two weeks …and we will hear a lot quick before the portal opens on April 7

I have stopped posting what I think will happen .

I have a lot of ideas on what I would do…but the reality is, it’s all a guess because I don’t know what our budget is, and what the market will
Be this off season for the portal .
