Rutgers Basketball officially announces Princeton, Mississippi State as part of non-conference schedule

After initial speculation, the in-state rivalry between Rutgers and Princeton is back on for 2023.

On Wednesday, the Scarlet Knights announced the addition of two non-conference games — Princeton and Mississippi State.

Despite not playing in 10 years, Princeton is the most-frequent opponent in Rutgers Basketball history. The two sides have faced off 120 times in the last 116 years. Princeton holds an advantage in the series, 75-45. The two have not met since December 2013 when Princeton earned a road victory against the Scarlet Knights.

The rivalry will pick back up on November 6 at the Cure Insurance Arena in Trenton.
