The Columbia Lions and the Rutgers Scarlet Knights will face off at 7 p.m. ET November 7th at Jersey Mike's Arena to kick off their 2022 seasons. Returning after a rocky 4-22 year, the Lions are aiming to prove that the past does not define them. RU went 18-14 last season and made it as far as the NCAA tournament play-in game but was eliminated by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish 89-87.
