We already know who RU is playing. We just don’t know when yet.
Illinois, Purdue and Wisconsin will not be on Livingston this season.

I HATE giving up a home conference game to a neutral court when no one else has to do it

Didn't Michigan do it when we played at MSG?


2-Losing an edge: Although Rutgers fans will turn out in droves for Michigan State at the Garden, you think Tom Izzo would rather play there than in Piscataway? No question about it. Playing at the World's Most Famous Arena is great for buzz, brand enhancement and ambience, and presumably recruiting (assuming recruits care about anything aside from the NIL), but the the Trapezoid of Terror is worth a couple of points that MSG won't provide.

If giving up a home game to play at MSG is a price to pay to be a B1G member, I gladly pay the freight.

That B1G home opener against Indiana will be intense. They must be chomping at the bit to break the streak, particularly after how Harper extended it last time out. They come to Piscataway after hosting North Carolina on Nov 30. Indiana also plays at Xavier, faces Arizona in Las Vegas, and plays at Kansas. Tough non-conference slate.

Get the hammer ready, it's almost time to pound nails!

First rough glance

19-12/10-10
Interesting, so you think 9-2 OOC? The only teams that SHOULD give us a challenge in this OOC schedule are Temple, Miami, SHU, and Wake.

But we have to be thinking we're going to beat Temple at Mohegan, and probably losing at Miami, but I'll be really disappointed if we split SHU and Wake at home.

So I'm calling 10-1 OOC.

Both the knicks and nets have home night games on Feb. 4. Could the Rock be the place. If so, do they open the whole arena. Where else could they possibly be thinking?

How about rotate all the teams to MSG such as:

Penn St vs Northwestern 2023
Michigan vs Ohio State 2024
Indiana vs Maryland 2025
Nebraska vs Purdue 2026

and so on

Or

Have Penn St play a home conference game in Pittsburgh or Philly
Have Nebraska play a home conference game in Kansas City
Have Michigan play a home conference game in Detroit

and so on...

Zero shot we're playing a game at SHU's arena. Maybe they're trying to see if we can play at MSG at noon?

Could be an afternoon game - 12 noon per se

Rock has an event that day as well.

Likely will be Barclays or MSG for an afternoon game with no other B1G sporting event tied into it.

The entire narrative of our B1G membership is tied up with bringing the New York market. RU is the BIG team in the metropolitan area, nobody else. Let's be the standard bearers in NYC. We are Rutgers! We are B1G! We are MSG!

Barclays is a non starter for me

Wouldn't he surprised if it was at the Rock in antcipation of all our home games played there during rac rennovation
