Is Rutgers better than Seton Hall ? CERTAINLY this season
- Thread starter Proud NJ Sports Fan
- Start date
The answer is no for this season but yes as a program.
Because we have eyes and ears and a brain.
And anyone can tell that 50 mil a year from the big ten is better at sustaining sports programs than the whopping half dollar SHU receives from the big east.
You wanna know the program is better? Go look at their Harper thread where their fans lament the fact that their program isn't doing as well as ours. They literally say their program is in worse shape.
I enjoyed the rivalry but seton hall will eventually die off completely. They'll never make what they need to compete consistently from NIL to compete with the power 2 and they'll never get into a real conference without a football team.
But RU is 2-7 in the last 9 games vs SHU.
Pike has to start winning in this series, right?

Ok repeat that as if I give a shit and as if past head to head records in this one particular rivalry have any bearing whatsoever for the future health of each program
It certainly remains to be seen.
RU has been in the Big Ten long enough to start showing results vs SHU.
It really doesn't remain to be seen. Small conferences are dying. Shu is in a dying conference and has zero donor support.
If we don't snap out of it they're gonna run us out of the gym.
Seton Hall troll?
If you can’t answer it , it’s not clear cut.
At the moment , it’s a toss up on which program is better right now
Coming on a little strong with this one bruh
I wouldn’t say they own us. In the last 5 games it’s 3-2 SHU with last year only being a 2 pt game. Prior to that SHU certainly owned us, but that’s like another lifetime
Yes it is. Better program, but they have a better team than us. With the exception of Izzo, everyone in the Big Ten misses the tourney from time to time….because none of the programs are one and done destinations like Duke, KU and Kentucky. When you have to develop players, there will be ups and downs. We’re in a down year with a bunch of new guys.
We will get better. This team will be better in Feb and March than they are now - how much better is an open question.
I sure as heck hope we’re better in February and March. Otherwise a long season becomes a sad one.
This season? Who knows, we both look bad
As a program? Historically it’s Seton Hall, but last 5 years have pretty much been a stalemate. Our trajectory looks better than there’s at this point, but anything can happen

It just becomes a gap year. There’s way too much buzz and excitement around the program to be sad about anything.
It really wasn’t that long ago we were a perennial not even in the NIT.
Not sure who is better but Seton Hall’s guards concern me due to their size. Richmond is 6’6 and Wusu is very stocky. Simpson and fernandes aren’t big enough to guard them
There I answered it.
We have the better program and structure for the future. You may win a game.
This is a worthless thread.

Aren’t these the first 5-stars RU has gotten ?
Rutgers can certainly make a statement on Saturday night.
Love Fernandeeeeeees handle, grittiness and shooting, but it’s rare to have success at 5’ 10”
After Georgetown though, he’s a fan favorite.
No need to get unhinged.
You’re usually better than this.
You haven’t even given any reasons how you came to your conclusion.
RU def has a major advantage with NIL.
Attendance is basically the same in recent seasons but The RAC gives a better home court advantage.
Here are other ways to compare two programs.
NCAA Tourney appearances the last 10 years ?
Head to head the last 10 years?
Coaching? Is there a huge advantage when comparing Pike vs Sha?
RU clearly has the much better recruiting class on paper.
Saturday night is a must win for both teams for this season.
I’ll assume you’ll be in attendance?
Unfortunately, I think the Hall is gonna break open a can of whoopa$$ on us this weekend.
Don’t think I agree on alumni support. We have a much larger, more affluent alumni base.
I know. Just messing with you.....
Wiith Pike and recruiting I think we are moving ahead as a program. Seton Hall was lucky to catch us early in the season last year. We also have an on campus arena soon to be upgraded.
I am honestly concerned with Sha since he loses his cool way too often like Howard at Michigan.

Anyone starting a discussion that wants to compare RU to SHU with the intent to make SHU look better than RU is not a RU guy. Sorry SHU , RU is in another league in all ways.
SHU has no NIL support while Rutgers is busy raking in a billion dollars a year from the B1G and landing the #2 overall recruiting cla$$
If you don't want to be called a troll or closet SHU fan, don't act like one
