Yeah, we should win, bottom line. But road game and you know they are going to defend, rebound and play hard. If we don't come out focused, I think we'll get beat. Rebounding will tell the tale, imo. If they come out and dominate us on the offensive glass like OSU did, we'll lose. This should have been a point of focus in practice. Heck, I think RMK would've had a practice after the game Saturday if we got outrebounded on defense. Probably know in the first 10 minutes.but based on their record. this may be one of the few gettable road games. we will see who shows up.
just looked we are a 3- point dog, so would be an upset technically.Agree. Always hard to win on the road, and when you get a team that is not having their best year, you need to capitalize.

(Which I seemed to notice last year the announcers tried not to call it.)
Several years ago I drove to Jersey (from Maryland) to see a day game. It was a very close game but IU won. The lady sitting next to me was also an IU fan.but based on their record. this may be one of the few gettable road games. we will see who shows up.
Yeah but that does not really much much the game at Minnesota last year was not even half full and Minnesota was down like three of its best players. And we still barely won.crowd might be sparse due to apocalyptic weather and state of emergency
I don't know if it much much the game or not.Yeah but that does not really much much the game at Minnesota last year was not even half full and Minnesota was down like three of its best players. And we still barely won.
I think IU could beat them at basketball ... but Rutgers style tackle basketball is a whole different animal.Yeah, we should win, bottom line.

Some teams are more physical than others ... just as some teams are faster, and others taller.Watch our guards on defense off the ball, it isn't just Rutgers who is physical.
conditions in NJ suck? How does anyone know?crowd might be sparse due to apocalyptic weather and state of emergency
I don't get out of a car in NJ. Newark airport is a shithole and if I have to go in there I say my prayers, get in a car/van/limo and keep my head down until across the bridge.conditions in NJ suck? How does anyone know?

We had a future HOF coach on the sidelines for that one.I don't know if it much much the game or not.
That’s why I fear it’s going to be Nebraska all over again.I think IU could beat them at basketball ... but Rutgers style tackle basketball is a whole different animal.
Unlike Nebraska, they don't have many actual basketball players .. basically Simpson and three to four hackers on the floor. They're not built to score, they're built to hack...That’s why I fear it’s going to be Nebraska all over again.
I fear a team like this a lot less than a team that is capable of big runs that can get hot, especially from 3.That’s why I fear it’s going to be Nebraska all over again.
Sure about that?We had a future HOF coach on the sidelines for that one.
No, it's skill lacking hackers ... generally combined with 1 or 2 actual basketball players.The “tackle basketball” narrative was overstated in the past. It was tough defense.
Regardless, that’s not this Rutgers team. This Rutgers team is pillow soft, struggles rebounding, and lacks length in the backcourt.
In past years, we had 6-7 McConnell, 6-6 Mulcahy, 6-4 Spencer, 6-4 Geo Baker, and 6-6 Ron Harper, Jr. so what we lacked in lateral quickness, we made up for with good team defense and getting into passing lanes with our length. And the guards and wings rebounded.
This year, we have 5-11 Noah Fernandes, 6-1 JaMichael Davis, 6-3 and rail thin Derek Simpson. Portal G Austin Williams is 6-4 and pretty tough, but he only plays 15-20 minutes.
You guys have a size advantage at every position. And the RAC crowd will be limited due to a Nor’Easter that’s expected to dump 3+ inches of rain tonight and cause flooding.

What happened to McConnell, I didn't think he was a senior and not a pro candidate? Think what you want, and I fully support physical play and D, but Rutgers crosses the line into "tackle basketball" at least the last 2 years. I'm convinced some coach's approach is to just be super physical and believe refs will eventually stop calling fouls so they don't disrupt the game and have too large a foul disparity (ie John Thompson at Gtown, or Pitino at Lville) and that's how Rutgers seemed. Those types of coaches don't generally change their approach, they coach their guys to play their style. I'm expecting another very physical game, so we'll see. Rail thin guys (like McConnell) can still hack and foul just fine.The “tackle basketball” narrative was overstated in the past. It was tough defense.

You seem bitter DJ Pauley.My God you're a loser.
God you're a pathetic crybaby
New York City tells them.conditions in NJ suck? How does anyone know?
Congrats to the Fighting SnookiesNice game guys. Glad to see we aren’t the only team that sucks. We can always count on a W against Indiana in (pick a sport, any sport). See you soon!
Loved the time I had to stop in Gary INI don't get out of a car in NJ. Newark airport is a shithole and if I have to go in there I say my prayers, get in a car/van/limo and keep my head down until across the bridge.

Snookie is a New Yorker FYICongrats to the Fighting Snookies
Nah. Downstate is really pretty. It IS the Garden State, after all.You Indiana hayseeds are real softies if you're scared of NJ. Maybe that's why you haven't won in Piscataway since Paul Ryan was speaker of the house.
Nice game hayseeds! Big news out of Terre Haute is they’re putting a stop light in! How’s tourism going in Gas City, Markle, and Bippus?Des near as bad
