PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Rutgers men's basketball announced Thursday that the game on Tuesday, January 4, 2022 against Michigan is sold out.
The announcement marked the second sell-out of the season, as the February 5th game against Michigan State was announced as a sell-out this week as well, coming on the first day that single-game tickets for the program went on sale.
The program has tickets available for the remaining 16 home games
via the Rutgers ticket office. Dating back to the final game of the 2019-20 season, the Scarlet Knights have sold out a program record nine consecutive games. Extremely limited tickets remain for the season opener against Lehigh on Tuesday, November 10, as the season opener would mark the continuation of that streak with a 10th consecutive sellout. Fans still looking for tickets to the Michigan game can do so via StubHub, the official fan-to-fan ticket marketplace of the Scarlet Knights.
Season ticket and multi-game packages are still available for purchase. Student tickets will be available to claim at a later date.
Head Coach
Steve Pikiell has completed a tremendous rebuild of the Rutgers program, as the Scarlet Knights are coming off of the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1991. Rutgers defeated No. 7 seed Clemson for the team's first NCAA Tournament victory in 38 years, dating back to 1983. Rutgers has had back-to-back winning seasons for the first time since 1990-91 and 1991-92 and won double-digit conference games in consecutive seasons for the first time since 1989-90 and 1990-91.
The Scarlet Knights went 16-12 overall, posting a KenPom ranking of 38 and NET ranking of 40. The team spent 11 weeks nationally ranked or receiving votes in the AP Poll, peaking at No. 11 in the nation.
In the regular season, RU earned wins over five teams that qualified for the NCAA Tournament - No. 1 seed Illinois, No. 4 seed Purdue, No. 10 seed Maryland, No. 11 seed Michigan State and No. 11 seed Syracuse. The Scarlet Knights then defeated No. 7 seed Clemson in the opening round, the highest seeded team defeated in the NCAA Tournament since 1979, before falling to an eventual Final Four team in No. 2 seed Houston. Rutgers led the Big Ten in blocked shots, finishing ninth nationally with 5.1 blocks per game.
