I expected 8. I actually don't like the feel of this game. I just think Rutgers almost always gives us issues, except for that one time we beat them by like 50.

Same. This feels like the Ohio St game all over again. Nothing to gain and everything to lose.
No idea how this goes. We beat them by 18 at their place while we only shot 4-24 from three. But that was also when Dylan Harper was working his way back from injury and he clearly wasn't 100%.
He had the flu too that was messing with his conditioning. Hope we can slow him and Bailey down…hopefully Furst can have another defensive games like he did the first time
I hope so.
But when I get this feeling, I'm unfortunately right most of the time. It's kinda like Boilerepherine, except instead of a post-game surge of panic and rage...it's more of a precognitive calm before the storm. Let's go with BSP. Boiler Sensory Perception.
We have a bit to gain tho. Double bye in BTT and better seeding in tourney. Hope that’s enough to motivate guys. Harper and Bailey, no doubt, will be on tonight. Hopefully they have no answer for TKR and Smith.
If there ever was a game that we need to come out strong from the get go, this is it. Let this team stay close and it gets real scary with their playmakers in a close game at the end.
One guy I've watched get a lot better over the season for them is Summerville. I'm worried that he may have the ability to get TKR in foul trouble. Unless TKR is on Bailey but he's more of an outside threat so I would think Furst/Heide are on Bailey.
I am worried also, we have no defender for Harper. Too big and talented for our guards to defend.
No question. I just think the matchups in this game are different and tougher than Illinois. I'm not touching the 10.5 or 11.
