How to Watch Rider at Rutgers: Stream Men’s College Basketball Live, TV Channel

Rutgers gets to put its disappointing 2024-25 season officially in the rearview mirror as it opens its season on Wednesday in men’s college basketball against in-state foe Rider.

Rutgers finished 15-17 last season and missed the postseason despite the presence of two top-five picks in the NBA draft in Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey. The Scarlet Knights open their new season on Wednesday night when they host Rider (0-1) at Jersey Mike’s Arena in Piscataway, New Jersey. Rutgers opened last season in the preseason Top 25 but dropped out after a loss at Kennesaw State spoiled a 4-0 start. The season ended with an 8-12 mark in the Big Ten and a one-and-done appearance in the conference tournament.

The Scarlet Knights return four players from last season and added seven freshmen and three transfers. Dylan Grant returns for his sophomore season after starting the final 16 games, while transfer Baye Fall looks to harness the potential that made him a McDonald’s All-American after barely playing at Arkansas and Kansas State the last two seasons. Harun Zrno flipped his commitment from Indiana to Rutgers after playing professionally in his native Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Broncs opened their season on Monday night at Virginia in an 87-53 loss. Rider trailed by just 10 at halftime before shooting 24 percent (6-of-25) after the break. Flash Burton led the Broncs with 17 points and was their lone double-digit scorer, with Caleb Smith grabbing eight rebounds. Rider was 14-19 last season with a 9-11 mark in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference and a loss to top-seeded Quinnipiac in the MAAC tournament quarterfinals.

Rutgers has won the last four meetings with Rider, most recently a 76-46 win at home in Nov. 2022, and leads the all-time series 13-1. The Scarlet Knights last played in the NCAA tournament in 2022, while the Broncos haven’t gone dancing since 1994 and last reached the postseason in the 2018 NIT.
