Rutgers men's basketball will face Sacred Heart on November 24 as part of their non-conference schedule. This matchup is significant due to head coach Steve Pikiell's personal connections to the Pioneers, including his son, Kevin Pikiell, who plays for Sacred Heart. Last season, Sacred Heart struggled with a 14-19 record and will be fielding a different lineup this year due to player departures from the program. The game is scheduled to take place after Rutgers competes in the Players Era Tournament.
