Rutgers to host Syracuse for Big Ten/ACC Challenge plus a rivalry game in doubt

It’s Halloween weekend and we still don’t have a schedule for the Rutgers men’s basketball team. 2020 has been spooky for sure, but the first step towards the road to March Madness for the Scarlet Knights was made clear on Friday. It was officially announced that Rutgers will host Syracuse as part of the Big Ten/ACC Challenge. The former Big East foes will meet at the RAC on Tuesday, December 8.

This will be the 49th meeting between the two schools and first since Rutgers left the Big East following the 2013 season. Syracuse holds a 39-9 lead in the series and has won 13 straight games against the Scarlet Knights.
