Rutgers lands No. 1 seed in NIT, will host Hofstra on Tuesday night

Steve Pikiell said that Rutgers would absolutely accept a bid to the NIT Tournament after being left out of the NCAA Tournament bracket.

As expected, the Scarlet Knights were selected as a No. 1 seed for the 2023 tournament.

Rutgers will host Hofstra in the first round on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. The first three rounds of the tournament ill be played at the campus sites of the higher seeds. This means that Rutgers could have three more games at Jersey Mike’s Arena if it is able to advance on.

This marks the 15th appearance all-time for Rutgers.
