This was a nip-and-tuck game the entire way until the last few minutes. Rutgers went on a 13-4 run in the last 5 minutes of the game.

Rutty looks to be a decent team this year.

Meh, they're better than I thought they'd be, but I'm skeptical they'll be anything more than a middle of the pack Big Ten team.

Anything can happen, of course, but Rutgers' play thus far would indicate they're in the top 5 of the Big Ten. Massey has them at #23, Sagarin at #18. And their RPI is very high. At this point I'd be surprised if they don't win 10 games in conference and make the NCAA tournament. But lots of ball remains to be played.

Massey and Sagarin are algorithms. They're not capable of deductive reasoning.

Okay, I'm curious now. What's the deductive reasoning path that leads us to conclude as a logical certainty that Rutgers is a middle-of-the-pack Big Ten team?
