Rutgers has to play on the road in the ACC Challenge again (@ Pitt)
- Thread starter kcg88
- Start date
Why do we keep getting the shaft? We played @ Clemson, home with Wake Forest, @ Miami, Home with Florida State, @ Miami again and @ Pitt now.
That will make 4 of 6 years we are on the road and now 2 years in a row on the road. We also had to play Miami twice and both were on the road. How do we keep getting the short end of the stick? The BIG should be sticking up for us but it doesn't appear as if they are.

Other than Seton Hall, our non-conference home schedule is a heaping pile of cow dung,
This might not be a terrible thing. This is a possible Q1, yet very winnable, game that will give us road experience early in the season
That’s not fair. We should have had a home game vs Pitt or BC at the minimum

Is that the cut off for road games? Pitt was garbage last year but seemed to be getting some recruits...
This is garbage.
Louisville will be home 2 straight years.
Boston College will be home 2 straight years.
Maryland will be home 2 straight years.
Penn State will be home 2 straight years.
Rutgers will be away 2 straight years.
Virginia will be away 2 straight years.
Nebraska will be away 2 straight years.
Who makes these decisions?
They could have had Boston College at RU and Northwestern at Pitt. This makes absolutely no sense to me.

If we’re going to be a NIT or bubble team just go to PITT and win
Considering our OOC schedule it’s prob better for us

Listen. I’m not saying it shouldn’t be even, I’m just saying for this year it might be better
And frankly, season ticket holders shouldn’t care if it’s better for the team
What are the chances the promos for the game mention a match of 2 of the original members of the Eastern 8? Haha
No disrespect to Pitt, but RU fans are more excited about it's team right now.
The RAC would be energized vs Pitt

I’m fine with it. At least it’s a road OOC game against a P5. With our cupcake OOC, we need to get tested somewhere before the B1G. This is a totally winnable game for a team that seems to want to take the next step. It’s time to start expecting more.
Some arena's are more media friendly. Some even have their own broadcast control room.
ESPN wants the best setup for their peeps.
One less OOC home game to watch against a decent opponent. Since 2014, Rutgers has alternated home-away for this Challenge. Although the OOC home schedule is not finalized, no ACC or Big East team for the Gavitt Games coming in means 1 good school, Seton Hall at home.
The difference between a Pitt win on the road vs. home is not going to put Rutgers over the NCAA hump. The OOC schedule will only hurt the school's chances if the team loses some games and not help with wins. The only path to the Tournament is Major damage to In Conference schools and a Strong Big Ten Conference this year.
Exactly. We are more talented than Pitt. Even though a win there won’t move our needle much, a loss would be “Same Ole Rutgers.” Time to step up.
