RU to host Fordham

Any other 2017-2018 scheduling tidbits anyone can share?

Is Rollie Massimino's grandson still on the Fordham roster? Fordham's coach played at LaSalle for Speedy Morris and was a John Beilein assistant for multiple years. Guess that means we will be defending the three's when we play Fordham.
Is this a home-and-home where Rutgers plays at Fordham the next season?

We played Fordham in the Garden this past season.

Last December I heard we would have Fordham at home this coming season after we committed to the Holiday Festival vs Fordham at MSG.

Is this year's game with Wisconsin a neutral site game instead of the Kohl Center?

That's an interesting question. We played Wisconsin twice last year so I suspect we will only play them one time this coming season. To make things right we really should play them at the RAC this year since we were at Kohl and at MSG last year. The good news is we got that Super Saturday or whatever they call it done so we won't be on the B1G hook for that for the next few years. Maybe next time we do that we can be the away team? That would make things a bit more even.

Nice try but the answer will be no.

 

[BigEastPhil]

I think (not 100% sure) that we have a 5 year contract with Fordham? Can anyone confirm?

Should also have SHU and Stoney Brook at home this season

 

[Knights 1212]

I think that is correct.

Per Rothstein

Rutgers to host Hartford this season, again

Hartford, Fordham, SHU, Stoney Brook, schedule piecing together

 

[hinson32]

Are you guys sure about Stoney Brook? I thought that was part of coach's contract with the Seawolves. Whatever school hired him had to play at Stoney Brook.

 

[Knights 1212]

That was supposed to be the first year. As far as I know Stony Brook was supposed to visit RU the second season, this coming season.

Add FDU, per Rothstein, typical non conference schedule opponents

 

[RUBigFrank]

Hartford, Fordham, SHU, Stoney Brook, FDU

If true a more appealing local schedule than in the recent past.

 

[Knights 1212]

That makes 5 games. Several months ago someone mentioned we were going to play NJIT but I don't know if that is true or not. I think we will play in the BIG-ACC Challenge as well and am wondering if we will have the 4 possible games in the Scarlet Knight Showcase again. If this all happened we would be at 11 games.

 

[Knights 1212]

We also will be playing 2 BIG games early in December with the new BIG schedule so I would think we just might have 1 or 2 OOC games after New Year's this coming season. If not we could have 15 games before January 1.That would make for a very crowded mid November to the end of December.

Would like to see a home and home set up vs. another power five conference school, something RU never seems to do

Any chance the Hall game sells out (I mean a legit sellout where all the seats are occupied)
