PISCATAWAY, N.J. (Dec. 20, 2018) - Rutgers Athletics announced today that the men's basketball game versus No. 24 Maryland on Saturday, Jan. 5, at 2 p.m. is sold out to the general public. It marks the second sell-out of the season for RU after a capacity crowd watched the Scarlet Knights battle No. 8/9 Michigan State on Nov. 30.
The sell-outs versus the Spartans and Terrapins signal the first time in 20 years that Rutgers has experienced multiple home sell-outs this early in its calendar schedule. During the 1998-99 campaign, the Scarlet Knights enjoyed capacity crowds at the RAC versus Temple on Dec. 19 and against No. 12 St. John’s on Jan. 2.

The sell-out versus Michigan State earlier this season marked the first November sell-out at the RAC for men’s basketball in 21 years, since Rutgers hosted Princeton before 8,524 fans on Nov. 22, 1997.
