THE OFFICIAL RUTGERS-PENN STATE PREDICTION THREAD
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
RU 75
PSU 68
I'm going to put my money on a turnaround for RU: Defense becoming more cohesive; better decision-making in transition; three guys you actually have to guard in Tariq, Harun, and Kaden; Dylan a wildcard.

Need to keep PSU from getting confident and shooting lights out. We do that we win. RU 71-68.
I think you're right that if RU is starting to put it together, it will be reflected in tonight's performance. A win tonight would be the first road win, first Q2 win, and create real separation between them and the bottom of the pack.
That said, I'm not sure that's what we've got at this point. Let's see if Francis, Zrno, Powers, Buchanan, Grant, and JMike can all play well on the same night. If yes, we can win this game. If not, PSU should be able to hold us off.
Agree
If history holds, starting lineup will be the same that started and produced a 19-10 run that Pike uninterrupted for almost 9 minutes. Would love to see the same for tonight's 1st half
State Penn 58, Rutgers 55 as Pike never prepares team for road games. This is an opportunity to avoid playing day 1 of B1G tourney. Hopefully game will not be as bad to watch as Maryland game or Minnesota / Oregon game last night which set back basketball many years. Bottom 5-6 B1G teams are playing different sport than top 5-6 B1G teams.
