Rutgers Basketball History With NCAA Finalist Villanova

Villanova plays for the national championship tonight. Lets reminisce about some classic games with our former Big East rival from the past couple of decades.

Tonight is the men's basketball national championship game and old Big East rival Villanova is playing North Carolina. There is a lot of history with Rutgers and Villanova, including one of the best wins for the Scarlet Knights in the past 5 years and a couple more in the most successful season in over a decade for the program. Overall, Rutgers is 9-23 all-time against Villanova, who we played in the Big East at least once a season from 1995-2013.
