Vegas tournament in jeopardy

[Zak57]

Dates, Venues, and broadcast partner has been finalized so seems like this is moving forward. TNT/TBS/truTV and streaming on Max. Sucks our games are so late Tuesday and Wednesday.

Tuesday Nov 26 - ND/Rutgers 10:30 EST
Wednesday Nov 27 - Bama/Rutgers 10:00 EST
Saturday Nov 30 Houston/Rutgers 3:30 EST

Okay that’s a great sign. I’m sure NCAA will try whatever loophole they can but I think it’s going to work out

Saturday instead of Friday. And not just streaming.. on real TV

Cliff....wow

 

[fatsam98]

I might be able to swing the Houston game. Anyone else going?

 

[CManDaMan]

I was hoping to attend all three, but not thrilled that the third game is on a Saturday now. Might just attend the first two

Why would the West Coast schools play first on Tues/Wed. Make it make sense

 

[hinson32]

I swear, Rutgers find ways to complain about everything

I'd rather see us play the Tue/Wed games we have than 2 PM Tuesday or 4 PM Wednesday. Those would possibly be low-energy environments to start. Following Alabama vs. Houston? The place could be crowded and energized if that's a good game. I also like leading with the weakest (on paper) of the three opponents. Watching Big E and Cliff square off will be interesting! So good that this will be on broadcast TV, too, and not just on some streaming service.

Not complaining really, just find it odd some of the games with east coast teams are on so late. I'll be watching regardless and hoping to get to at least one of the games as I'll be in Phoenix for Thanksgiving

A part of me thinks it was intentional to get all the fans there to stay in hotels paying very expensive Saturday night rates.

Avoid the Saturday night rates!

The game will end by 3 p.m. Vegas time. Plenty of time to hop on a flight early Saturday evening or red eye back to Jersey.

Problem solved!

We got Saturday night at Caesar’s for $72. Maybe we go to AC too much 😂

 

[Skull83]

Wow! Based on earlier speculation, I didn't think we would be guaranteed to face both Houston and Bama in addition to ND - just wow!

 

[Jerseylegends]

Willing to bet ace and Dylan were a big selling point when pitching potential tv partners.. exciting times ahead for Rutgers basketball!

That piece has been confirmed for a few weeks now. Just glad it seems to actually be happening
