We're back baby!

What the hell is peacock and why do buy a new subscription to watch one game? Like holy shit, why can't we just be on BTN?

 

[Miggins]

Line dropped by 3 or 4 points since the opening 8.5 to 5.5 or ever as low as 4.5. Money clearly was coming in on Princeton. We have so many new pieces not sure what to expect!

 

[Tango Two]

Mawot Mag is officially listed as questionable for Rutgers' season opener against Princeton tonight.

Two reserves and a walk-on are listed as OUT.

You can buy a monthly sub for 6$. I hope that’s not breaking the bank for you. And peacock is nbc universals streaming service, which big ten network signed a 10 year deal with.

We can certainly just have games on big ten network, but our tv revenue would be peanuts. Lol.

Did you just wake up from a 15 month slumber bro? I don't love it either but we've known Peacock was going to be showing Big Ten hoops this season since August of 2022..

There's I think 10 Big Ten teams playing tonight. They can't all be on regular BTN. Most teams are on BTN+ tonight which you'd also have to pay extra for.

It's not breaking the bank but if I already have BTN, BTN +, ESPN subs for games why are they requiring me to add on another service. Just a waste of my time

Since when did Peacock have games? I don't remember an RU game being on peacock unless I totally missed something. Just bullshit money grabs all around

Don’t need ESPN subscription for big ten games anymore.

This is the first season of the big ten/peacock deal. Obviously never had games in the past, you’re correct

 

[RutgersChow]

Much better players and higher recruited players - supposed to win these games.

 

[FrankZ]

And so it begins…

 

[mikeylew1992]

I like to watch a lot of games not just the B1G, so I tend to just get the ESPN + sub

 

[bac2therac]

Concession options seem good but the place itself is pretty low budget arena. Amazing we are playing here

 

[bac2therac]

Sparse crowd 20 minutes to tip. There will not be many Princeton fans

 

[FIJI'83]

Mag is out. Not warming up with team

 

[FrankZ]

Looks like 200 people there (at most)

ok. Fair. Peacock will have lots of games too, probsbly much better games than ESPN plus will have..so if you enjoy watching games, your subscription won’t be just for “one Rutgers game” that you mentioned above

It’s an ECHL hockey arena.
They had an arena football team there too at one point

 

[RU-Choppin-Ohio]

Game day threads....the only place where if a player misses a shot, makes a turnover or lets his man get a bucket.he is labeled a bust, a bum, a horrible player.

😂😂😂😂😂

 

[fatsam98]

Legit 99% Rutgers here. What an absolute clusterfvck of a place

 

[bac2therac]

Princeton 15 minutes away and like 150 fans

 

[Tango Two]

- Rutgers' first starting five of the 2023-24 season: Noah Fernandes, Derek Simpson, Gavin Griffiths, Aundre Hyatt, Cliff Omoruyi.

- Mawot Mag was not dressed. He will not play.

 

[BillyC80]

Looking to see all our new guys perform, and to get a feel of the team’s chemistry and style of play. Oh yeah, and let’s get a win!

 

[bac2therac]

Its like 20-1 Rutgers fans

 

[FIJI'83]

Not a single Princeton student in their student section

 

[BillyC80]

Here we go!

 

[BillyC80]

Cliff, nice!

 

[FrankZ]

Nice arc from Cliff to start 👏

 

[BillyC80]

Gavin, looks smooth and confident!

 

[bac2therac]

Princeton very impressive ball movement

 

[Rokodesh]

Getting dizzy watching this game

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers out of control back to back

 

[FrankZ]

Obligatory 3 pt torture 🤦‍♂️

 

[Rokodesh]

Fernandes why?

 

[bac2therac]

Terrible hustle by cliff on 2 rebounds
