    Basketball Rutgers Basketball to face Houston in Players Era Eight Bracket

    The second round matchups will be determined based on the results of each game. I assume they’re trying best to avoid same conference teams playing if possible. Difficult with Florida Auburn SEC, and Kansas Houston and West VA all Big 12. If that’s the case, I’d see us playing West Va or...

    would think this could be a double header type of showcase sponsored event

    Basketball Big Ten Conference Announces 2026–27 Men’s Basketball Opponents

    really hope we wouldn’t give up our Michigan home game. RAC at least gives us a chance at an upset UCLA at MSG would be the ideal game to give to MSG. It’s only be Rutgers fans, and is still a big enough name to put at the garden. Maybe in A doubleheader with another college game later that day

    Basketball Players Era expands to 24, moves Rutgers into eight-team bracket

    I believe the big 12 now has a sponsorship deal with the players era, so their conference I think gets 8 guaranteed team slots each year. Something like that Rutgers ND has become our annual non conference game.

    BB Recruiting Kansas State transfer center Dorin Buca commits to Rutgers

    Like the pickup. Like that hes been in the USA and has a year of high major ball as experience. legit size annd length. Protects the rim. And 23. Can give us 12+ mins as a back up. I see he also shoots the occasional 3, with only 2 made in a blowout vs Zona.

    Menic

    Bring him in. Should be able to surpass a euro league like this salary, so shouldn’t cost much. Would still like a 22 year old experienced college forward to add some bulk downlow. A Gurdak injury and we’d have no real size/strength downlow. Buchanan and Sydnor can not guard a Big all game.

    2026-27 scheduling tidbit

    no IVY league opponent according to Richard Kent id expect all low majors at home. Pike needs 7-0 there, Seton Hall at home, and 3 In Vegas, although I’m sure Pike would love to bail on that in favor of 3 more low majors at home. It’s a make or break year, he will try for 18 wins anyway possible

    Any news on the transfers that left RU?

    would love a true power forward who’s 6’9 and can bang inside. Ideally, Ware developed into that but that’s a huge wish. OR a 6’10 stretch 4 forward that all these big ten teams have. A big that can defend in the paint, but also make 3s. thats where the remaining portal focus should be.

    Any news on the transfers that left RU?

    Good for him. Honestly, i think he is a solid forward reserve 9th man playing 12-15 min a game. He plays D, rebounds, is long, and can switch on D. Just very limited offensively Not sure we are going to find a better 4/5 reserve

    Departing Players

    First I saw for any of outgoing players was today, zags reports Zrno hearing from Louisville, Texas Tech, and Vanderbilt. He will be a solid 15-20 min guy at any of those schools, who will use him coming off screens to catch and shoot cant find anything on Grant at all. Dortch I saw lot of...

    Tracking what the rest of the Big 10 is doing

    Wisconsin better haul. But also the better coach, Elmer was the star for Miami OH.

    So, who’s here for next season (running list):

    Keep it going. Still need more depth up front. Can never have too much size or shooters, let’s add both!

    Basketball Rutgers Basketball lands Virginia Tech transfer center Christian Gurdak

    How about Godswill from Seton Hall as the next big man, back up center ? From Long Island Lutheran HS, Often hurt this last year. But showed some promise his freshman year. More of a shot blocker and lob threat than Gurdak. Evenot at just 6’9 Maker of DePaul Id think wants to drop down to a low...
