2018-19 Men’s Hoops schedule - About when will we know the schedule?
- Thread starter Scarlet83
- Start date
Would knowing the non-conference schedule be that big a deal that it would affect someone's decision to buy season tickets? We play in the Big Ten. We are already guaranteed to play 10 marquee names at home before we schedule a single non-conference opponent.
That would leave 5 games left....my guess would be home vs an FDU, Columbia or Brown Ivy school type of team and 3 others of your choices in the NJ NY CT area...i believe 31 games is the total.
UMass is off the schedule, and I believe we open with FDU...
Hi BK. Do we play umass next year at home as agreed to and then maybe following year at umass? Meaning is agreement for home and home just deferred 1 year or cancelled?
A night game is probably preferred for fans around that time of year, December 15
I think RU could bring around 4k fans since its a Saturday
Hobbs would have to campaign fans to go attend.
I think we start up there next season, so basically deferred
Thanks as always. Was going to go up for the game this year. Deferring a year makes sense for sure. Hope all is well. Phil
Yup, my bad. I see the UMass schedule has been released and Rutgers is not on it this season.
Word is the Generals offered to host Rutgers as a guaranteed game but RU said no.
Hobbs will not have to do any campaigning.
We probably had almost 4K fans at the Rock 2 years ago when we played in Newark.
The excitement behind this program has only built since then and after last years game at the RAC they may have to open the curtains.
All times TBA.

I don't even think they opened the curtains for the Villanova game last year, so I highly doubt they do it for Rutgers. Especially since opening the curtains will only help Rutgers get more fans into the building.
I thought that was the only game they did open the curtains?
If the demand is there I doubt they turn down the revenue for thousands of tickets.
The RU-SHU game in Newark in 2016 sold out at least a few days, maybe more, prior to the game
I was there, it was a strong RU showing, around 3,500 and red stood out.
They opened them up for Nova last season
I was about a dozen rows up across from the RU bench.
Went with both RU and SHU fans, a Pen St alum too who rooted for SHU .
