gotta think Rutgers has a better chance here.

Target the last game of the season. Sanders will be back from his suspension.

It will be interesting to see that point spread.

Penn State is playing well right now, just beating Iowa. Sorry, Rutgers , it just ain't gonna happen! Go Lions!

St John's 80 DePaul 65 1-13

Two ways to look at this.

1. SJU plays with more confidence Sunday now that they have a win under their belts

2. The win makes it easier for Willard to get the attention of his players.

 

[garyshu71]

Number 2 is much more important.

You're seeing a lot of funky scores this time of the year. Especially on the road.

Teams are worn down and looking forward to the post season and that makes them ripe for upsets if they don't come to play.

Gotta hope our NYC boys are excited to win the game in Garden too proving SHU rules the metro area. That should be some good motivation as well.

Losing to St. Johns or Depaul this year would be a condemnation of the players and the coach. Earlier this conference season there was thread after thread about: "This team isn't like those past teams. You can't make the comparison. It's not fair to suggest they will not come to play".

If they lose to either team you absolutely will and should see the comparison. I expect a W in both situations, and for the team to come out focused and ready to play.

Look at all of those traditional rivals on the BC schedule... Money over relevance.

Disagree. It would be on the players.

For Rutgers, is one quality win too much to ask? A look at how 5 other struggling high-majors got theirs (hint: D): http://on.app.com/1XC3GVk

Yes, one quality win is too much to ask for Rutgers.

That is true of both football and basketball.

That is true for next season as well as this year.

If Sanders decides to transfer to another school where he may sniff an entry to the NCAA tournament during his playing career, Rutgers may be 0 quality wins for this decade.

Minnesota just dismissed a big from the team. Even with that I suspect all of RU's bigs are smaller than most of Minnesoda's 2 guards. And the losing streak continues.
