PISCATAWAY, N.J. – The Big Ten Conference revealed the home and road conference opponents that Rutgers men's basketball will face in the 2024-25 season.
For the upcoming season, the league will welcome new members USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington. In the first year of the 18-team conference, RU will face just three teams both at home and away: Michigan, Penn State and Purdue. Rutgers will have seven league teams that they face only at home to compose the 10-game home slate: Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Michigan State, UCLA, USC and Wisconsin. On the road only, RU will travel to Indiana, Maryland, Nebraska, Northwestern, Oregon, Ohio State and Washington.
USC will make their first ever trip to Piscataway this season. RU has played the Trojans just twice, a pair of neutral site games in 1973 and 1974. UCLA will also make their first appearance at Jersey Mike's Arena. The Bruins and Scarlet Knights met three times between 1976 and 1981, twice at neutral sites and once in an away game for RU.
Rutgers will make its first trip to Oregon since 1985. The road game at Washington will be the first time in program history that RU will face the Huskies.
Game dates, times and television dates will be set at a future time.
The Scarlet Knights will embark on the 2024-25 season, welcoming the No. 3 recruiting class in the nation according to ESPN.com, the highest-rated group of newcomers in program history.
