On the eve of the Garden State Hardwood Classic, the marketing team for the Rutgers athletic department dropped a hype video that is straight fire. If you weren’t already excited for Saturday’s matchup, which is the 69th meeting in this great rivalry between the Scarlet Knights and Seton Hall, this video will get your blood pumping for sure. Plus, there is a surprise mixed in that really made this trailer an instant classic.

No one said this rivalry was for the faint of heart. This is for bragging rights. This is for basketball lore in the state of New Jersey.#DeckTheHall pic.twitter.com/kj2eMiuQ6t
Fantastic job by Rutgers marketing maven Mike Greengarten and his team for creating this video. Absolutely loved the old clips of past games and moments in this rivalry. It was like seeing your Rutgers basketball life as a fan flash before your eyes. Let’s hope Saturday’s game can live up to the hype. I’m betting it will. See you at the RAC for what is officially a showdown at high noon!
This is fantastic---a total declaration of war. Looks like Rutgers made the most of the Boardwalk Trophy Seton Hall lent it. Great job by the (surprise) narrator too. https://t.co/l9XSb0j36A
