Exactly. They were intentionally fouling us for the last two minutes of the game. Hitting out free throws actually made it a relatively comfortable ending.
Anyone knocking MSG is Nuts
- Thread starter red sail
- Start date
Exactly…
Or Fordham, Manhattan, Iona. If those guys can get a game there like the Redmen.
Play there every year: local team, holiday tournament, big time OOC.

Tbh after today i kinda like the idea of one garden game a year. I mean not only do we have a clear home court advantage (today was like 90/10 RU) but we also are able to laugh at cuse, shu, and sju while doing so.
That game is ideally an out of conference game NEUTRAL COURT game vs a big time opponent like a baylor or gonzaga
Listen to pikes post game its obvious
He'd rather play in the Rac
Agree, 1 showcase game a year vs non conference at msg..... .I'm sure the msg power brokers will want us back
One game per year would be awesome. Saturday in late November or December would be ideal.
Well done Empire State Building Twitter account
What part don’t you understand? Or Pike rather play at RAC? Seriously? Undercuts all the nonsense.

C’mon ..he wants to play in the garden without giving up a conference game
And while I totally prefer our games in the garden be out of confrence game …do NOT underestimate the experience we got today playing in the type arena thsr the big 10 tournmwnt and the NCAA tournmwnt plays in
Different sight lines , different feel…-
And a greater experience in a win
We will better for this experience in the big ten tournmwnt and the NCAA ….
Don’t give up a conference game. Pike said as much. Non conference game in December is fine.
Double edged sword, looks incredible if you win, damaging cred if you lose. That said it looked like a tourney game, and other big time games we see on the regular on TV. Awesome environment. Gotta beat the big boys to get the “respect” we all crave.
The RAC is the best atmosphere in the country
I don’t know how any one can dispute that. Firmly believe not a close game at RAC today. Worst foul shooting of year? Poor shooting percentage? We got hosed on fouls again, no home court advantage. Lost a Quad 1 win?
Pike in post game almost directly said rather RAC/JMA.
Argument over.
Yea but there is a ton of upside to playing a big name OOC opponent at MSG once a year.
Big name opponents won’t come to the RAC to play us.
Today was a ton of fun. Atmosphere was great and we had 4,000-5,000 more fans in the house than we could have had at the RAC.
You need to stop thinking so small time. Rutgers is becoming big time and it’s a good thing - embrace it.
The RAC is amazing - So is MSG - what is so hard to understand about that. Very weird people on this board.
Two words "Holiday Festival". Make it an annual event once again - RU/UConn/Cuse and a national team. Would be amazing.

Giving up a conference home game at the RAC is idiotic.
Of course it’s a great place to play. And we’ve had success there with great RU fan presence over the years (ie B10 tourney). And I like going and the atmosphere.
BUT who in their right mind thinks it’s a good idea to give up a conference game at the RAC??? C’mon people!

I had fun today but honestly the atmosphere wasn’t close the RAC. With that said glad some fans who apparently can’t get into RAC were able to attend and it is very good exposure for us. I have no issue playing there again but it should be a non-conference game.
I’d be fine playing St. John’s there every year. Road game where we would have 10x the fans.
I thought he would give it up when proven wrong
He should stop this nonsense starting tomorrow and move on
We sat in section 103. My ears were ringing after we left MSG. The atmosphere was very RAC-like in the second half. I was not in favor of playing this game in NYC this morning, but I’d sure feels great now. I’ve seen Rutgers play at MSG many times, and this was the best experience by far. It had a feeling that said “We’ve arrived.”

I think we’d all be fine with that but I doubt St. John’s would lol
Most money they’d make in ticket revenue all year!
It was really crazy. I understand the preference for the rac but the last 10 minutes today. Wow. It was awesome.
I’m really glad they pulled off the W for the fans in attendance
You guys repped like big dogs

If we want to bill ourself as New York City’s B1G team, then we gotta go win at MSG every year. I never doubted our fans would turn out. RAC NORTH!!!
It’s great exposure, open up the suites and Madison club next time!

Would Dec 23rd work for you? 🤐
It’s also astounding people don’t see the benefit of playing at MSG
