These game always seem to be closer than anyone expects. Even when one team is much better. I expect it to be close again. RU 75 and SHU 70. If I wasn't banned on the SHU forum I would be banned again for this post. They don't like my honest opinions over there even though I am 67 grad and followed SHU hoops since 1963. My wife is a Douglas Grad so we do follow RU too!

I will note that several players on SHU have injuries so hopefully we get an update on their status for the game
They have had a week to heal because they didn't play in the game vs. Abraham Lincoln and no other games before Sunday. It will be interesting to see.

This team will be fired up and pissed off. Start of game resembles the last time SHU stepped foot in the RAC. Cliff dunk and Cam 3's get us out to a 15-3 early lead and we never look back.

Paul comes back to the starting lineup and sets the tone. Caleb steal leads to an early fast break dunk. Holloway and the players in a race as to who gives up on who first. It's a party in Piscataway

You should easily score and rebound down low as Seton Hall's bigs Samuel and Jackson (who is listed at 6'10" and is more like 6'8") are soft and not rugged rebounders or scorers. RU should control the boards easily and offensive and defensive totals should be good. Also SHU turns the ball over a lot. So there will be opportunities to score off turnovers.

It will be about RU not playing down to the opponents level. If they don't do that RU should win by 15 or more at home.

That being said these games have a tradition of being close.

I’m worried about an OSU hangover, but this team is tough, and I think we overcome the soul crushing feeling the team must have.

Our defense is elite, and their’s, not so much.

RU 65 - SHU 63
Something like this
As much as we expect RU to come out with fire, and how poorly SHU had looked at times, this is usually a struggle
The shoe starts off strong and we have to rally late
Would like to be wrong as to that
