We finally get to be like Syracuse (non-conference schedule announced)

According to the Sports Book here, RU is playing 2 OOC teams with odds posted to win the NCAA 2018 Championship: Seton Hall & Florida State both at 80/1.

That doesn't matter right now, it's the long run that counts and if RU gets it together it's future will be brighter than the Hall's
Rutgers is scheduled to play FSU (40-1)and their odds are better than SHU's
Hall's 60-1 here

My apologies - Book here also had Fla. State listed at 80/1 and corrected my post above. I won't touch that "if" & "future" part of your post since that "argument" has been ongoing for over 25+ years.

Here's the Syracuse schedule - 7 of their 10 OOC are cupcakes - so yes, the big boys also load their schedule with creampuffs:

We are not in a position to even think about RPI -- most likely we aren't making a tournament this year. If we're still scheduling like this 2 years down the road, then it's a problem.

Enjoy the ride this year. Warm up and hopefully play meaningful conference games. In conference I wish we had Penn State home and home. The goal for this year should just be to build some momentum on what was a good start to the Pikiell era last year.
