Both Rutgers teams highlighted in Big Ten Network lacrosse TV schedule

The Big Ten Network has finally released the TV schedule with the season already underway.

Lacrosse season is in full swing at this point (despite the fact the temperatures are still frigid on some days in various parts of the country). For the men’s, Maryland and Virginia are respectively atop the nation at No. 1 and 2 while Duke has already suffered a disappointing loss to an inferior opponent in Jacksonville — we’re back, baby!

But there is a lot more action to witness on the small screen; the Big Ten Network has finally released the television schedule for its conference matchups. The men’s league includes the powerhouse that is Maryland, fifth-ranked Rutgers, eighth-ranked Ohio State, eleventh-ranked Johns Hopkins, seventeenth-ranked Michigan, and Penn State.
