RU fan base is demoralized after the Michigan game. But hope springs eternal.

We always seem to find a way to win on the road with our backs up against the wall.

Two of the last three games we played there, we lost in heartbreaking fashion. The middle of the three wasn’t close from the jump. This will more resemble that game.

Looks like 10-20 point Rutgers loss by all these picks. I don't think one remaining win on road at Minnesota, if we even win there, gets us in. Probably last four out. Committee not looking to do RU any favors. Had we been credited with OSU win, we'd sneak in with just one more win at Minnesota. That's how much that game meant. Will break our little NCAA streak.

I’m sneaking up on this one and check if it’s worth watching at the half. My eyes have almost stopped bleeding from Thursday.

Paul is fried. Has made 3 for his last 10 foul shots, 11 for last 22. Several games in there where he hasn’t gotten to the line. Hardly ever takes it to the hoop. PSU has physically strong guards he can’t bully. I will be extremely surprised if we win.
Hopefully the players aren't nearly as demoralized as much of our fan base is projecting.
It took 22 from Cam to score 58 and beat Wisconsin by 1. Fans here have been predicting the past few games that RU would bounce back.
I hate to write that I tend to agree that we will get blown out. We are limping our way along right now, and we would need someone unexpected to have a big game.
I’m amazed the lack of offensive consistency from our seniors. Other seniors like Buie have stepped up.

lots of people think we get blown out...
I haven't posted in one of these all year. 68-64 RU.

The game will probably tell the tale of our dwindling post-season hopes. If Rutgers gets blown out, I don't see going two for two to close season. If they scratch a W or are at least competitive throughout, we still have a decent chance.

There’s no way Rutgers gets over 50, and there’s no way Penn State scores less than 70, so we lose by at least 20. 100% chance
We take better care of the ball, make our FTs, and Oskar knocks down a couple from deep.
RU wins, 63-60.

I'm hoping you don't do anything in the data analysis field. Prior to your post, 6 posters picked RU, while 7 picked PSU. Sounds like a toss-up based on "all these picks." If we win at MN and don't suffer bad losses to PSU and NW, I still think we barely make it (perhaps in Dayton) and I think the OSU "loss" will be a tiny tie-breaker for us over someone else on the bubble (like 1-2 spots worth), as anyone with a brain knows we got hosed there. Win 2 more in any fashion and we're locked in. Would much rather get in that way, of course.
Why would you beat a rented mule? You could lose your security deposit.
Despite our recent swoon I think we match up well against them. We won't cure our offensive woes, but we'll do enough to win. Fewer turnovers on post doubles and making at least 6 threes will be keys to victory.
