I can only imagine what this board would look like if this was SHU and not Rutgers

Looks like the Rutgers men’s basketball team will have a good chance to avoid matching the program’s longest-ever losing streak.

Division III Rutgers-Newark announced Thursday that it will visit the Scarlet Knights Nov. 13, which is opening day for most Division I programs.

The Scarlet Knights ended last season with...........

Wait until we lose.

Can't find anyone better for your home opener? That's embarrassing.

 

[Save Continental]

Don't want to find anyone better, perhaps? That is an insult to your paying customers.

Its great day, Rutgers can't lose.

Let me see if I got this right. RU , a Division 1 school in the B1G , with 13 scholarship players is playing Rutgers -Newark a Division -3 school which has no scholarship players and RU is counting this game as a regular season game while Rutgers -Newark is counting it as an exhibition game. That's embarrassing !

And their board seems to not care AT ALL that this is a real game on their schedule. I think there are 3 posts about it on their schedule thread. Wow. RU fans might be more disillusioned than SHU fans.

Did we care when we did the same exact thing with California Baptist?

Or Caldwell College in Gonzalez's first season.

Or Kean College under Amaker?

Last I checked our board usually flips about of weak schedule. Didn't we just have a whole schedule thread with people complaining about cupcakes and then people mentioning how it's better than previous years?

I know I am never happy with those teams. Maybe I'm wrong here.

 

[shu09]

I'm with you on that. Our schedule has been poor every year (for the most part) since Louis Orr was fired.

This year's schedule is better, but I don't see it anywhere near as good as some do.

 

[hinson32]

What does it matter? Maybe we win 11 games now instead of 10. We have no post-season aspirations. If you notice the RU Basketball board there is not much reaction to anything.

Those were all exhibition games, not regular season.

So Rutgers truly is playing with itself!

Um, no it wasn't, that was a regular season game and helped get Seton Hall in the NIT that year.

 

[SHUSource]

Those were terrible games to see on the schedule, but we didn't schedule them simply to avoid achieving some record level of ignominy.

 

[Seton75]

I think the kean game is listed in our all time records...maybe largest margin of victory?

Most points scored before the other team scored, 34.

Kean was scheduled as a favor to Bruce Hamberger who was Kean's head coach at the time and had been an assistant at Seton Hall during the PJ years.

With 350+ Div. 1 programs, it's an absolute joke to schedule a non-Div. 1 team as a non-exhibition opponent.
