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.

Seton Hall fans are fully aware of EC's injury and that we may not have Cyril. I'm not saying Seton Hall is predicting a loss but they know they need to play well to win.

Post from their board.

It isn't that they aren't "aware," it's that they don't factor it into their algorithm.

Either way...I think their algorithms may need a recalibration. Like I said, I'm a lousy gambler and would give the 5 points...that should give everyone hope!

How is SH on the defensive side?

I would make this line SH -4 and I think URI can cover that

•Senior Stanford Robinson ranks second in the nation with an average of 4.33 steals per game.
•Sophomore Jeff Dowtin ranks 24th in the country with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 6.33.

GAME TO AIR ON ESPNU
•Both games this week will air on the ESPN family of networks, with Mike Crispino and LaPhonso Ellis on the call.
•The winner of Thursday's game will play the winner of the Vanderbilt-Virginia game being played Thursday at 4 p.m.
•The championship game of the NIT Season Tip-Off will be played Friday, Nov. 24 at 7:30 p.m. on ESPNU.
•The consolation game will air on ESPNEWS at 9:45 p.m. Friday.

According to the preview on Scout, Delgado is questionable with a calf injury.

Vegas definitely takes injuries into consideration when setting lines.

Looking forward to watching this game today. Wolf Pack Nation is rooting for the Rams!

I don't understand this. Slight Seaton Hall home court advantage, we aren't at full strength, I figured this would be more like SH -8 or 9... I'm on SH but will be happy if I am wrong.

Vegas definitely takes injuries into account in setting lines, but most of the analytic sites (like Kenpom) do not in projecting final scores.

If they find Delgado is out then line will likely go down a couple points

Any update on Cyril?

Injury to Delgado's calf?
I'll take it!

I'll bet he plays and it won't look like he's injured.

I contacted the Seton Hall beat writer and it he said he is playing. Damn. I asked Koch about Cyril and got crickets.

I am hoping for a Preston breakout at least on the rebounding front. Really we need to have a team effort crashing the boards. I mean Barkley was 6'5" and averaged over 10 boards some years. I think it is a mindset.

Dowtin and Stan need to have a big game today. Get it done!!!

Still no word on Langevine?

Cyril is out

AGITA

.......Time for a Juice, Akele, Preston, and yes Layssard to make an impact......

Happy thanksgiving everyone long time reader finally joined !!!

Looking at Twitter it appears

Bill K- Can't make it pregame, but I'm told @JayCoppa is scouting postgame locations for around 10 pm. I'm offering one free round for all Keaney Blue posters and an open discussion on all things #URI hoops.

I think Delgado is a go

Hack Delgado!

Why is college football on ESPN U ?

What’s the delay with the game??

Did the game channel get switched?

Anyone else freaking out? Game has a schedule too for 6:10 and ESPNu still has college football awards on...

It'll switch

Tonight is such a big night!!!
I know it’s early in the season but this would show a lot of balls by this team if/when they pull it off!!

630 start ?

What time is official tip off ??

22 minutes ago the team twitter account announced the time shift. C’com guys.

glad i checked here just got super pissed it wasnt on

Sounds like a big uri crowd down there good for us

We cannot stop these guys !!

Need Delgado in foul trouble ASAP

We can play with them.

They keep nailing tough shots though damn it!

What an entertaining game 23-22 at the under 12 TO

Berry is doing ok down low but needs help!
Even if the bench guys are good for 5 fouls I would be ok with that.

......what is the crowd size?

Need Delgado in foul trouble ASAP

My
Guess is they didn’t sell
The upper arena so no more than 8k tops

we look good so far aggressive and shooting well
