Some OOC Basketball News for 2020/21 - could be Rutgers related

Zach Brazilier tweeted that St Johns is hosting a B1G 10 team next year. Wonder if it’s us as part of Gavitt Games. They’re also visiting TExas Tech

Monmouth also hosting UNC next year at home as part of 2:1. Great for Monmouth. Hope game is played on campus which I’m sure it will be. This is per Rothstein

if it was RU, then playing a 2nd game at MSG vs St Johns would be good....(hosting Michigan State on B1G Saturday along with this)

Also playing at Seton Hall is another road game, fans can get to as well.

Likely hosting an ACC team in ACC/B1G (imagine Virginia or NC State at the RAC)

Of course the only certain item is Seton Hall at the Rock but if you played St. John's and Seton Hall away and hosted an NC State, that schedule would definitely match up with most teams, once you factor in 20-21 or possibly 22 B1G games).

hopefully with RU's profiling rising we get a better opportunity in the Gavitt and ACC games rather than the dregs

I would go for Nova and lets do Cuse

I don't care if it was 2-for-1 or 10-for-1, I'm shocked that UNC agreed to play on campus at Monmouth.

Roy doing a favor for a former player.

 

[DirtyRU]

Correct, see other thread on this.

Yes, RU should play a road game in the Gavitt games next season and should have an ACC team come to the RAC. We have already played St. john's in the Gavitt games in 2015 (away) and 2018 (home). We also played Depaul in Chicago in 2016 so we were on the road 2 consecutive years in the Gavitt games. We were not in the Gavitt games in 2017 or 2019 so we have been on the road twice and only had the one home game in 2018. If we play the Johnnies again it will be playing them for the third time out of 4 total games in the Gavitt games.
As for the ACC-BIG 10 challenge:

at Clemson in 2014
Home with Wake Forest in 2015
at Miami in 2016
Home with Florida State in 2017
at Miami again in 2018
at Pittsburgh in 2019

Thus we have been in this Challenge for 4 years with 4 out of 6 on the road. We have gotten the short end of the stick in both events over the years. We should get 2 consecutive home games in the ACC-BIG 10 Challenge. I would hold my breath on that happening.

Give us Duke at Cameroon

I am fine with BC or Va Tech in the ACC
For Gavitt St Johns, G-Town, or Providence would be cool. Nova would be a challenge to win.

It's a long series of flights to get to Cameroon...
