Rutgers' 2021-22 Non-Conference Schedule Thread

[PiscatawayMike]

I had hoped to attend this game, but it's being played on the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. RU hosts Maryland on the gridiron on 11/27.

I like UMass as an opponent. They are usually not horrible, but a team we can regularly beat

 

[JavaDunk18]

May not be that easy up there. Fans are loud. They were the 4th team in that Vegas Tournament in 2015, I was stuck sitting next to a bunch of them for the 1st round. They beat Clemson to advance to final against Creighton..

I think that goes without saying. It's a road game. No such thing as an easy game away from home.

Tre Mitchell in transfer portal. Was a terrific player for UMass.

Same here. Would have been fun trip / game.

Seton Hall AT Rutgers or they can go play Plattsburgh State.

This has all the makings of us up at Fordham a few years ago when Honor torched us and they ran the same pick and roll play 200 times and Doorson chased his man from 5 feet behind 100 times.

Let’s be a bit more positive.

The days of Rutgers playing at minor teams that have high school gyms is over. I doubt we will be playing any games at Kennessaw State in the future either.

I hate Seton Hall basketball as much as anybody here but if we want the series to continue, its right that we play at the Pru in 21/22.
I can't blame them for not wanting to play us with no fans, its one of the biggest draws in the schedule in terms of ticket sales.
Call 2020 a COVID wash out and continue on with the series.

Contract is a contract. Louisville hosted kentucky last year because they had an agreement.

I actually would like that.....considering it's 15 minutes from me.

I’d rather we bail on the series than do that.

 

[HeavenUniv.]

I couldn’t care less if we kept playing them. I don’t think it matters to many recruits. We are in the Big Ten and they are not. Pat Hobbs can not fold on this. Drake doesn’t tell Iowa or Iowa State what to do, Bowling Green doesn’t tell Ohio State what to do, Eastern Illinois doesn’t tell Illinois what to do, etc.

What is UMass’s Transfer Portal status? Who departed? Who is arriving?

are you referring to Seton Hall? If so you are way off base in your comparisons. They are not Drake or Bowling Green and we are not Ohio State. If you hadn't noticed they have been more successful than us in basketball in both the near past and the extended past. The game certainly matters to the NJ players on each roster as it does for the fans

Sorry, they ducked us last year. This is their punishment if they wish to continue the series with us.

The Mullins Center at UMass is bigger than the RAC

I agree, BigLou.

The only thing I wonder is what would have happened if we were scheduled to be the home team in 2020-21. We'll never know.

Gotta be basketball first brother! We will be there!

 

[King of S]

I don’t think we should play at SHU this year. Either SHU comes to the RAC and we return in 2022 or we skip this year and pick it up with the road game in 2022.

What’s the big deal? Play at Prudential Center this year and back to the RAC in 22.

somehow I confused myself into thinking they had two home games in a row. Actually you’re right.

I have a streak going for football games at Rutgers/High Point Solutions/SHI Stadium. I haven't missed a home grid game since Oct. 1999... not counting last season, of course.
