Rutgers- just seems like it should be an in state rival. Like Ga/ Ga Tech or So Carolina Clemson. No need for it to be an in league rival IMO.
I am happiest when we beat RU and utterly miserable when we lose. Not like that with any other team.

Nova. The rivalry spilled into other sports. I'm delighted to say we kick their butts in everything except hoops. How about that no-hitter and sweep we got to end the baseball season ??
I was at the Garden two years ago during Mullin's first year, when St. John's was hideous and we were good, and that game still had a ton of juice (and was a highly entertaining game, especially because SJU blew the lead and we pulled it out).
Pretty much what I would have put down if I wrote a post to go with my response.Good question. For me, it's been St. John's #1 and Villanova a close second. I absolutely hate losing to St. John's and cannot stand them. With Villanova, I can live with a loss because of how much respect I have for their program. But it sure is sweet when we beat them, especially these days. We're not on Villanova's level yet but we're starting to close the gap somewhat in the current conference format. This rivalry will only grow over the next decade.
Rutgers is irrelevant, even more so now that they're out of the Big East. It's a contrived "rivalry" by those in the NJ media. The schools have very little in common, as opposed to comparing Seton Hall to Villanova and St. John's.
Actually it was Seton Hall that blew a big lead, only to rally late in the game on a pair of Whitehead free throws to win it.
