Last season, Rutgers began a skid after a loss in the fourth game of the season. The non-conference schedule for the 2022-2023 season has been released and one matchup sticks out — Game No. 4 against Temple.
The Scarlet Knights began the season 3-0 during the 2021-2022 campaign before hitting the road for the first time. Rutgers fell to DePaul in Chicago to suffer its first loss of the season. This would begin a stretch of three consecutive losses by a total of seven points. An inexcusable home loss to Lafayette and last-minute loss to UMass followed.
The non-conference schedule has a similar feel this season.
