Rutgers is going to secret scrimmage the Tar Heels down there this month. Will be a good test against a Top 5 team.
UNC
- Thread starter RU72
- Start date
Teams like Nova Uconn and UNC want to test themselves against Rutgers in secret scrimmages but don't have the balls to come to the RAC for a real game
They want to get a feel for what real defense is like.
I don't think Pikiell wants to play regular season games at any of those schools either.
Of course there won't be a home and home with any of those 3. Hopefully,UConn happens next year and UNC or Duke at MSG would be great. Scheyer is committed as K was to 1-2 MSG games a year.
Pike would definitely play these teams at the RAC no question
We tried to play Gonzaga away last year
I hope we get trounced in the scrimmage. I swear our awful start last year was in some part due to "beating" Nova and UConn in our scrimmages and getting swollen heads.
Love this! (the insight from ‘72, AND the fact that we’re scrimmaging UNC).
This team has a lot of new and developing pieces so this will be a great test.
Also love that we’re playing on their court. Yes, I know there won’t be any fans, but the travel experience to a bedrock area of college hoops will be meaningful to our guys.

Will UNC be at full strength? Heard their phantom class for BB only is having midterms & finals the same day and time.
MO
Oh stop . Nobody cares that they had basketball players get greased through . That crap happens everywhere to differing degrees . Now that it’s all out professional sports it doesn’t matter at al.
Cranky man these days. I guess we shouldn’t congratulate PM for getting his degree already.
lol I didn’t say that . I did congratulate him in the other thread btw
One thing we don't have to worry about is getting details about the scrimmage facing a high profile opponent like UNC.

It was earlier this afternoon. Wonder if we'll hear anything
It’s like a fireside chat is about to broadcast.
Except I don’t know who’s on the other end, don’t know when the download is coming, and the implications here are clearly more important.

I'm just going to assume we crushed them and Davis begged Pike not to tell anyone
On TOS UNC board there was no info about the scrimmage yet either... butttt there were a couple posts saying Dylan is a lock to RU. Someone golfed with Harper Sr supposedly
My guess is that there is no actual final score to be reported because it was likely a combination of regular play and then different situations. Hardly anything got out about UNC's scrimmage against Florida last season, so I bet Pikiell and Hubert have agreed to keep things tight this year.
I don't really care about the score at all. I do want to hear how the team did overall and which guys played well
It's not a story it's a couple posts in a Rutgers thread. Think you would need to sub to see
I actually was the only fan at a mid-major scrimmage a few years back and you are exactly right about the nature of the scrimmage. Definitely some situational stuff.
There were comments revealed last season after scrimmages with Villanova and Uconn stating Rutgers won.
I remember that And was skeptical then as I am now. I don’t think an accurate, game-like score is kept.

An actual 2 20 minute half score with starters is kept. I have been to many of them. There are also situational scrimmages interspersed. They take in the aggregate 60 minutes of running time. All I know about yesterday is the RJ Davis was apparently the leading scorer. No other details. I do know that UConn beat Harvard on the road by 12 and that Princeton beat up on a solid Bryant team.Still digging.
UNC board on TOS had this from a poster
"Only details that I’ve heard is that nickel lead all scorers in the first two quarters with 14 and then RJ took over scoring 21 points in the third and fourth quarter"
Lines up with the RJ Davis leading scorer thing.
