Preview

The last time URI saw a Big East team, it was sending Creighton home for the summer while advancing to the round of 32 in the NCAA tournament. The next time it sees a Big East team, it will be hated cross-state rival Providence. In between, we get Seton Hall. Hardly an afterthought, Dan Hurley's alma mater has its sights set on its second Final Four appearance. Led by three terrific seniors in guard Carrington, wing Rodriguez and big man Delgado (who passed on a chance to enter the NBA draft with the stated intention of getting the Pirates to the final weekend), Seton Hall enters the Thanksgiving Day nationally televised contest undefeated and in the top-25 in both polls.

This team is experienced, coming off of two straight NCAA tournament appearances (both first round exits), but it is has not been tested much to this point in the season. Through four games, the Pirates have not played outside of the Prudential Center in Newark, and while Indiana is a name brand program the Hoosiers appear to be deep in a rebuild under former Dayton coach Archie Miller. The rest of their opponents have been in-state cupcakes Monmouth, Farleigh Dickinson and NJIT, and The Hall has dispatched all of them easily. URI will present the Pirates with their first real test of the season.

How stiff of a test that will be may be known in part even before tip, whenever we get final word on Cyril Langevine's status. Even with Langevine, URI will be somewhat shorthanded without senior leader EC Matthews. With the three seniors plus versatile sophomore Myles Powell, Seton Hall can score at all three levels and will seemingly have a big advantage on the glass, whether Rhody is with or without Langevine. One key to the game will be to minimize the rebounding deficit, minimize second chance points and play honest defense against Delgado while recognizing he will probably get his share of boards and points.

Another key for me will be the turnover battle, where URI comes in with a slight edge (1.5:1 A/TO vs. 1.33 A/TO for SHU) despite having played more capable competition. I don't see any way URI can win this game without winning the turnover battle and converting some of those turnovers into easy points. This is one area where the loss of Matthews isn't as significant as you'd imagine - although a small sample, EC's 1:7 ratio was problematic; as usual, URI is led in this area by sophomore Jeff Dowtin (19:3), although Jeff has not yet found his perimeter game this season and needs to be at least a threat from outside.

The key guy for URI will be Jared Terrell, who has been URI's clear best player through three games and will likely draw the tough matchup with Desi Rodriguez, where he will be giving up some size. I don't know that Rodriguez will be the guy that they game plan to shut down (as we frequently do), but I think this is another area where we have to win the game within the game to have a chance - if Rodriguez dramatically outplays Terrell it is hard for me to see a way that URI wins.

Big experienced team, that should be a very tough matchup for Rhody especially if Cyril is unable to play. I think we will need to shoot the ball well from 3 to win the game

Even with EC and Cyril, I thought we would have a very hard time winning.

Without both of them, I honestly don't think we have much of a shot to win.

kenpom has us losing 75-71 and gives us a 36% chance of winning. That feels optimistic to me, but then they had our score differential pretty much pegged against Holy Cross and we were without EC and Cyril. If we keep this one close and win on Friday we'll get credit come tournament selection time.

The championship game is 7:30 and the third place game is 9:45, which I imagine will be pushed back.

Kenpom had Rhody losing by 1 to Nevada so they were off there. That would project to a 10 point margin for SH game. That seems more realistic.

When you have a veteran backcourt of Jared Terrell, Stan Robinson, Jarvis Garrett, Jeff Dowtin, and Fatts you will always have a shot to win.

I have plenty of faith that we can pull this out.

SHU is formidable, legit NBA prospect in Delgado, savvy and skilled guards in Rodriguez and Carrington. IMO our only shot is if we shoot A10 tourney style lights out. We will need not 1, not 2, but 3 of our guards to be on from the outside to stay in it.

VERY formidable and experienced. Seton Hall has three 1000 point scorers on their roster (Carrington, Delgado, Rodriguez)- the only D1 roster to have that. They basically have the equivalent of Terrell and Matthews plus Delgado and oh yeah, no Matthews or Langevine (probably) for the Rams.

Check out the Hall’s stats.

http://www.shupirates.com/documents/201 ... mbined.pdf

Both Powell and Rodriguez are very good free-throw shooters. Both well over 80%. Powell shoes 38.5% from three. Rodriguez 42% from three and 53% overall. Rodriguez however tends to turn the ball over and foul a lot. Delgado Is a poor free-throw shooter. Just better than 50% for his career. The entire team shoots very well. They are currently averaging almost 50% from the field. Their opponents are shooting a little over 42%.

I think I would try to shut down Rodriguez, make him foul, and turn the ball over. Make Delgado beat us from the line.

I'm not sure you game plan to "make someone foul" - i do think the key is our 3 guards greatly outplaying their 3 guards, on both sides of the floor, for us to have a chance. Delgado is going to get his and also make dribble drives to the rack a bit tough, we are gonna have to be hitting from the perimeter.

This game is pretty important. I know RPI is not as big a factor this year, but right now there are 5 A10 teams with an RPI sub 100. If that keeps up into conference play, it's gonna be a tough year for the conference. Fordham is at 150, and there are 6 teams worse than that.

said it in the Cyril injury thread, but for me the key is not wasting attention on Delgado.

let him get his and focus on locking everyone else down. he wont win the game on his own scoring. win the perimeter battle

I completely agree with this take. It's like the Celtics from years ago under Doc Rivers when they'd play a Lebron team (especially before he left for Miami). He would have his team try and take everyone else out of the game and make Lebron have to go off for 70 to beat the Celtics.

As many have stated, I feel its going to be a case of Delgado forces multiple players into foul trouble. So I'm sure Danny is basing his lineups off of that. Berry, Langivine, Tertsea, Layssard, are the players large enough to defend him. I can see us going two bigs at times as well. We actually have the roster for it, just need the offense from the guards.

Tertsea and Layssard cant get off the bench for Asheville or HC and they're going to contribute vs a top 15 team with an All American candidate?

I push Tertsea because of his size and streght, which no Ram has had like his in years. Have you seen him in person? Plus I'm saying those guys are back ups in case Berry and Langivine are in foul trouble.

Our front court is inexperienced and young. Remember what last season Game 1 Cyril looked like compared to Game 30 Cyril...you are going to see that type of improvement out of 1 or more of the guys we have now. Who that is I'm not sure, but we are 3 games into the season, there is a lot of basketball left to play. People making way too many blanket statements on personnel at this point in the season.

You are definitely not new here, so surely you cannot be surprised about this. I'm just hoping we see our posts improve over the course of the season on the same arc as whatever player makes the biggest jump! (My money is on Ryan Preston.)

Yes Berry is a senior. And that’s why I used the words young AND inexperienced. He would fall in the latter category. He has logged a very small amount of meaningful minutes in his 2 years. Whatever class he is in is meaningless, he hasn’t had to carry the load like he is being asked to do now.

Let me tell ya that I don't know how any "known" site can have us as a favorite in this game or even able to keep the final score less than 10 points without EC and Cyril. I believe the sites are unaware of our injury situation. FWIW I don't feel good about this game at all!

Some Seton Hall fans on their message board have more faith in our team than some posters here... We can win tomorrow. I believe!!

Stan and JT are senior 4* guards. Dowtin if he can get his shot like he had in the NCAAT last year would be hard to guard. JG can light it up. This is how we can win. We have a senior guard team and they need to play like it.

For all those sites projecting scores, I can't believe they are aware of URI's injury situation. That goes for any Seton Hall fans posting on their boards as well. They likely saw us beat Creighton last year and are basing their fears on that.

I'm seeing an early Vegas line of Seton Hall -5. I think that more likely considers injuries. I would bet the mortgage on the Pirates. The good news is I couldn't win a bet on a game being played on ESPN"s Classic Sports Network.
