Valid points all, Woody. But to a man: I actually PITY Rutgers. No hate-factor there; they aren't OSU or MSU. And a 29-year Big Dance drought is tough to swallow...particularly when what seemed (a week ago) like a GIVEN is now in doubt, in light of their road record (where 4 of their last 6 games will be played).
And to an even BIGGER man, they need some OFFENSE. Big Time. From the two games I saw (vs. us), they are as relentless, tenacious, and pain-in-the-ass-ious on defense (and on the offensive glass) as anyone I've watched this year: that's a great thing. BUT---it's all for naught if you can't put the friggin' ball in the hoop!!!
