The Early line URI vs VCU

[luke]

The line opens at VCU -8. That sounds a bit high. Probably will come down a bit.
will this be the game URI surprises and beats a good team on the road ? Stay tuned.

luke, that line makes sense.

VCU gets 3-4 points for being at home, plus their RPI is much better than ours.

Not projected to be that close a game.

I think everybody figures that it will be close, because that's what we do.

Winning it, well that's another story.

True enough Rambone.

VCU needs this game more than we do......our only hope is to save our victory against them for Brooklyn......

But then again I am thinking big picture.....

The line now ranges from VCU -8 to - 8 1/2. Right now VCU i has not played their
best ball. They have lost two of three, losing to GW and UMASS and beating a
terrible St. Louis team in a rout. Rhody has a chance here.

Rhody certainly has the ability to make it close. I however have very little confidence that URI can win on the road against a good team given its track record. VCU also has a very good home-court advantage at the Seigel Center which is always sold out and very supportive of its team. The odds are accordingly against us.
