Nothing about the ultimate solution was "equitable" - pretty much every aspect of the agreement benefited SHU at the expense of Rutgers.

What did SHU get:
- Avoided a home game in front of no fans
- Avoided what had a higher probability than recent history of being a loss
- Got a likely sellout home game in the year fans were allowed back in arenas

What did SHU lose:
- Nothing

What did RU get:
- Nothing. A game was added on the end of a series that was almost certainly going to be extended anyway.

What did RU lose:
- A Q1 game in a year where they were vying for a tournament berth
- A game with a higher probability of a road win than they've had in recent history

It was in SHU's best interests to beg off on the game for last year, and in RU's best interests to play it. SHU got what it wanted, and RU didn't. RU didn't even get a commitment for a ticket allotment for this season, or a commitment to open the upper deck for the game.

You should know team records often mean nothing for this game. And having finished on the wrong side of bubble, missing out on that opportunity may have hurt SHU more than RU. What does a win over SHU really gain RU for the tournament? A potential second round against a 1 seed instead of the weakest 2 seed in the field? Even if they stay on the 10 line, their 2nd round opponent gets harder, not easier.

Do any RU fans actually want to attend this game now? My SHU friend is taking me and son and I really have interest in seeing RU take 35 point loss.

We are going down. I thought the rivalry would keep it close but we are outclassed at every position and have no heart. The coaching isnā€™t close either.

I am happy if seton hall is better but really donā€™t see this game as terribly meaningful big picture other than I can razz some of my shu buddies if we win.

I saw some of their game against Cal last night. They play hard. Should be a given but a noticeable increase in intensity from what I saw in our DePaul game. They were very reliant on Rhoden offensively last night but they have some good size and I doubt we can get their big guys in foul trouble like Kelley from Cal did last night. Also compare who they have played up to this point versus RU's schedule. It's not even close.

I still dont think this one will be close. Good news for us is every game prediction i have is wrong this year. I think SHU is just a league above us and its a really bad matchup
