BOLD = HOME GAME

Main Takeaways

  • Rutgers only plays three opponents both home and away (Maryland, Michigan State & Penn State)
    • Preserving the fun of the two local B1G opponents.
  • Rutgers Basketball will be making their first ever trip to the Galen Center versus USC.
    • They will also be making their second trip ever to UCLA, first was back on Jan. 6th, 1979.
  • The Scarlet Knights have a very tough test in the middle of their schedule with the Las Vegas trip, an away rivalry game at Seton Hall, and arguably the top of the Big Ten early on in conference play.
