Rutgers basketball fans can start planning out the most anticipated winter in program history.

The Scarlet Knights on Wednesday released tip times and TV designations for a majority of the 31 regular season games they have scheduled for the 2024-25 campaign.

It marks the latest sign of the unprecedented hype surrounding head coach Steve Pikiell’s program.

Here is the full slate (mobile users: click here to see the graphic)

Here are a couple of takeaways:

Rutgers is relevant: The slate is full of nationally televised games, including multiple games on the major over-the-air networks, and features multiple games exclusively available on streaming. Rutgers will play on FOX twice — against Seton Hall (Dec. 21) and Michigan (Feb. 1) — and on CBS once (Michigan State at Madison Square Garden on Jan. 25).

Only one game will be streamed on Big Ten Plus, and there are going to be almost as many games broadcast on Fox Sports 1 (8) as there will be on the Big Ten Network. There will be six games streamed exclusively on Peacock, the most notable being the Scarlet Knights’ meeting with Indiana at Assembly Hall on Jan. 2nd.

Late tips galore: Rutgers will play eight games that tip off at 8:30 p.m. Eastern or later, including three contests that start after 10 p.m. ET. Conversely, the Scarlet Knights play just six games that tip at 1:30 or earlier.
