I’ll be there. This should be a good game. Rutgers is not have the season we all want but you only get 16-18 games a year. I enjoy the game. That could be a win or a loss.

I'm going for the Winter Carnival. Thanks to RU for setting me up with a corner table by the hot chocolate where I will.be giving face licks for $1 and selling my Sweet Pea Loves Rutgers t-shirts. Free photos too.

Do you have to buy a ticket for Sweet Pea? If so, he can have mine.

Oh no no. I have season tickets courtesy of Keli Zinn.

This game being at 8pm is absurd. So sick of the stupid *** tip times. No one is watching this game. Nobody is watching the 6pm BTN Iowa Bucknell game either.

Agree..6 pm tips during the week in November and then slammed with 8pm late tip the weekend before Xmas.

I like the afternoon weekend games against the cupcakes cuz I can bring my young daughter to a low-key game. Don't have any of those this year.

And then yeah the 6/6:30 weeknight games are awful. I have to leave work early just to sit in traffic on 287 and barely make tip.

For what? So BTN can have back to back to back games that few people are watching anyway? Just overlap the games and put some on Big+. Drive subscriptions that way. Zero consideration for the fans who actually go to the games.

Honestly this may be the main reason I drop my tickets next season

*Penn and Rutgers were regular rivals through the 1950s and 1960s, but this will be the first meeting since they played each other at Madison Square Garden on December 11, 1975 (the Scarlet Knights winning, 95-80).

*Penn is making its first trip to Piscataway since 1969, when the Quakers escaped with an 80-71 victory. Penn's only loss in seven trips to Rutgers came on December 15, 1959 (51-44).

*The first meeting took place almost exactly 111 years ago as Penn beat Rutgers, 41-18, on December 19, 1914.

First year under Pike where I really just don’t even want to watch. It’s like the Jordan or Littlepage years where there just no point.

Even Pike’s first year or two at RU. The team was fun to watch as they played hard, rebounded, played good D.

 

[RC80]

Did not realize the last time we played Penn was 1975; should have been 1979 in Greensboro... but will leave that one for another day.

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Will the boo birds show if we lose?

Is there a game watch party in Manhattan?

Totally agree. I understand the Iowa football game at 8pm due to media people dictating but why Rutgers-Penn bball at 8pm on BTN?

if I can’t find watch party in Manhattan, the I’ll be in the RAC tonight.

I know. That St. John’s game broke my heart.

Headed to the RAC. Any buses back to New Brunswick from RAC or is uber only option?

 

[bac2therac]

Just has the feel of 1994 in the Atlantic 10 all over again

Id assume there are student buses that run to College Ave but who knows where you can catch one

Penn outrebounding Rutgers 6-0 and their team is tiny.

Ogbole keeps grabbing the ball but he can’t hold onto it.

 

[Bob Chaewsky_rivals]

Let's try and be even less athletic. I've been saying now for a few years - not much going on upstairs.

 

[bac2therac]

This roster is midpack Northeast conference at best

Not sure any of our players would be in Penn’s rotation

What's on Svengoie tonight?

 

[FastMJ]

Easily Pike’s worst roster
