We'll be on vacation in Lisbon, Portugal for that one. Will have to wear my St. John's hat and see if I get any shoutouts from Ruben fans there!

Not sure why your link says "scarletknights.com" when it goes to "towsontigers.com".

Anyway, Towson MBB's schedule shows that their first exhibition game is tomorrow (Sunday, October 12) at Rutgers. I'm not seeing a TV channel yet. My best guess would have been B1G+ but it's not listed in their event calendar. Does anyone know if that game will be aired or streamed?

Brian Rauf and Matthew Winick of Basket Under Review provide a preview of Towson-Rutgers and other exhibition games this weekend.

Me and Panther could start as the guards and we would still win by over 20.

Im a big Panther fan but I don’t think if you and him started we would win. Of course I know you are joking but I’m just saying Towson shouldn’t be considered a walk in the park even though of course you would think we will handle em. That’s a pretty decent mid major conference with 3-5 teams that show up in the ncaa tournament and make a little noise from time to time and they are looked to be number 1.

This is exactly what we need as a pre season game. It is a great job scheduling them and Michigan as exhibition games.

The TowsonFans.com forum suggests that today's exhibition game against Rutgers was actually a closed scrimmage, so details could be light to non-existent.

For what it's worth, Jon Rothstein did a video of 10 dangerous teams outside the power conferences, and he included Towson. Watch the last few minutes.

 
Quick question that I’m sure was discussed before but I missed it. Since when do we have exhibitions against college teams? Only exhibitions I remember were Marathon Oil, and my Dad used to talk about a game against the Soviet Union.

And side note—- SJU lost a non con game to Towson when I was in college. It was sort of the canary in the coal mine as to how bad the program was about to get.

About 20 years ago, the NCAA passed a rule saying that teams had to play their exhbition games against other 4-year colleges.

College teams had been playing AAU squads in exhibitions for a few years, to gain recruiting advantages. This rule was passed to stop that.

For years, you could only open up the game to the public, if you were playing a D2 or D3 school (or even NAIA or a Canadian school, IIRC). D1 games were closed scrimmages.

A few years ago, they started allowing open games between D1 teams as charity fundraisers, and now, you can just play it as a normal exhibition game.

Thanks! I just have to wonder how the basketball community can really keep from being influenced by the results. How does it keep from influencing the basketball “jury” so to speak.
