Let's go SUNJ!

Fvck the Badgers.

 

[Rifler]

Surprised the Badgers are favored at the RAC....

 

[Ronman]

Rutgers is on a 3-game losing streak. If they want to remain relevant in the B1G race, they need to turn it around tonight. They have the talent and they're at home. Time to show up!

RU & MSU have to be the biggest disappointments. RU was supposed to be at least top 5 (some had them top 4) in the B1G

Could not have said it better myself.

 

[MrsScrew]

Good news for us....Cliff Omoruyi is back tonight!

 

[Hawksfor3]

Nice drive by Jr.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Can Michigan take the loss instead for whoever loses this game?.............

[youflog1hawk]

Footskit ball

 

[HawkAssassin]

Flipping back and forth between this game and the bulls game is jarring.

 

[mthawkeyes]

They just said Rutgers shoots 58% from the line as a team. How is that even possible? That's pretty bad for a high school team.

 

[EvilMonkeyInTheCloset]

Rutgers must've thought they were playing Iowa with that fading 3 pt attempt.

That only goes in against Iowa....not Wisconsin.

Rutgers was shooting really well from 3 early in the season. If you're that bad from the free throw line, a good 3-point percentage is probably just fool's gold.

 

[BBHawk]

Wiscy still dirty. Lots of extracurricular activity in the lane, especially by their guards...

 

[RocknRollface]

Rutgers is brutal offensively.

Wisconsin isn't much better. Trice is their only effective offensive player.

F the Badgers

They win by 6 and cover the 3 point spread

I hope any of you bettors had the under because an ugly 114 points were scored (60-54).

Incredibly ugly basketball. RU had 22 second half points & shot 10.5% (2-19) from 3.

Compare this to Iowa, which is averaging 84 points per game in Conference play, which is 30 more points than what RU put up tonight. 30 more!!!

And don't forget; Iowa and RU played a 77-75 game.

What happened to your offense, @MrsScrew ?

 

[chuck285]

I wanted Wisc. to lose but made $60. So It turned out ok this time...Put your$$$ on Iowa Sunday....
I'm only down $400 for the year

quick questions:

* You in Iowa?
* Do you space bets via an app on your phone?
* If so, which apps do you utilize?

Just curious.

Thanks.

Harper is slumping big-time
If he hits just a couple of his dozen missed shots RU wins.
Guess he needs a dose of Hawkeye defense to snap out of it.
As for the badgers, this.is when they get going typically ..do not sleep on them.

Agreed for Rutgers to be offensively competent Harper has to be scoring. Last night he was not, buit Badgers played tough defense,

I think Maryland was at 47% when we played them.......Or was that the Scarlet Knights?

 

[Hawksfinal4]

I think Rutgers is going to be tough game for us . Their center “Omiyuri”(sp) was not in basketball shape yesterday but by Feb 10, he should be

Live in CR and went to Riverside and got signed up and put my downpayment there. I use my computer to bet as I started on i pad but pretty small writing and made some errors, so just stick to computer. I never have tried the app on the phone. Good luck...Still very hard to win..Vegas loves me...
