Riddle Me This ...

I now more about metaphysics, and epistemology then I do about NCAA basketball rules.

The University of Connecticut men are visiting Rutgers University tonight. Connecticut took a bus down to New Jersey, so I know, for sure, that it's a home game for Rutgers, at the Rutgers Athletic Center, a.k.a., the RAC. That's a fact, Jack.

Connecticut is wearing their home white uniforms. Rutgers is wearing their black road uniforms. It's a regular season league game, not any type of tournament.

What's the story?

This from the RU men's basketball web site:

Quote:

PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Rutgers (8-11, 2-4) returns to the Garden State to meet Connecticut (15-4, 3-3) in a 7 p.m. tip-off on Saturday (Jan. 25) at the 8,000-seat Rutgers Athletic Center. It marks the final scheduled home match-up between the longtime conference foes. It will be a Black Out “on the Banks,” as fans are encouraged to wear black to the game and the first 1,000 to enter the RAC will receive a complimentary blackout t-shirt.

It would appear the players are involved in the festivities as well. NCAA 1-22-4 allows for the home team to wear its dark unis - and vice versa - by "mutual consent."
