OT - Nearby college hoops games

It's worth noting that while Rutgers is hosting Gary Waters-less Cleveland State, a game that should have been scheduled a few years ago, the same night Monmouth is playing at Lehigh University.
Tomorrow, in the Caucasian Tip-Off Classic, BYU visits Princeton.
Monmouth, Lehigh, BYU, and Princeton are all pretty solid teams. And the games are priced right I bet (tickets, parking).
Would be pretty nice to be hosting Monmouth, Lehigh, BYU, or Princeton ... missed scheduling opportunity.
That said, let's beat Cleveland State!

BYU (Mormons) and Princeton (Ivy League) are generally white dominated teams, i get the joke. Unfortunately today's age you can't say that because everyone assumes you're racist.

Pikiell had to schedule these little teams because at the end of the day, wins helps sell recruits more than anything else, and it helps our team learn how to win which we couldn't do last year. Teams like Monmouth can schedule like OOC that because they know the only path to the Tourney for them is win their conference. For RU we can get in other ways so it doesn't help by losing a bunch of games against better competition. I know, SOS obviously is hurt but I know the strategy of getting wins and I agree with it.

Our schedule does nothing to sell tickets and parking tags. The ticket office should offer “Big Ten” ticket & parking tag packages. The building was empty tonight. AD Hobbs almost had to come up to the 200 level seats to find a hand to shake.

Also, he's obviously not familiar with the roster if he thinks that's an accurate description.

You guys drink too much coffee. Turn off the lights and go to bed.

**** Seton Hall dude

Watching Northwestern...apparently haven't looked good first couple games and again tonight in first half anyway. Defense is poor, though Creighton has couple of legit scorers. Lindsey and Law are scorers though so never really out of game. They need McIntosh to play more aggressive on offensive end, normally good at getting to line.

I am a fan of every NJ team aside from Princeton.
No secret about that.

What color do you wear when they play each other

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

What color do you wear when they play each other

That's irrelevant.

What's more important that RU gets more fans like me in NJ that supports the program.

Blue. Got it.

There's a thread on the Seton Hall board about him wearing a red Rutgera shirt to a Seton Hall game...

huh? they scheduled easy last year and the team learned how to win those games but found the competition too tough in the Big 10 to win....it was a great schedule for last year...for this year, NO...not leaving the state and playing 14 out of conference games at home and none on the road is indefensible really. RU will get its win this year but you have to challenge the team by getitng them to play on the road. CVS had a 6-24 team last year and scheduled the first 3 games on the road and then they take a trip to Puerto Rico,

Respectfully disagree.

We are still in program building mode and progress is important. A 16-15 record would mean something.

When a realistic goal is to make it to the NCAA tournament we need to worry about that stuff.

Our overall schedule will be plenty tough.

It really is this simple. At this stage of the game the W is the most important here. No matter who it is against.

Although, I would still want to play all the NJ schools every year and outside of Princeton and Seaton Hall every one should be at the RAC. And if those others don't agree we get somebody else to fill those slots.
