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.

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!

•The consolation game will air on ESPNEWS at 9:45 p.m. Friday.
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.
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.
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.
