The Seton Hall - VCU game is part of a double header event at the Rock with a game between Florida and Cincinnati. Since it's not a "real" home game for the Pirates (despite being played at the Rock), it seems unlikely that the deal was a home and home with VCU getting a return fixture next year. It would make no sense for Seton Hall to get that bad of a deal with a team like VCU.

1 thing with that- it'll be for RPI purposes a home game. Any game played at your home arena is counted as a home game. So for instance the Big East tourney at MSG- always counts as home games for St John's in the RPI.

Yes, home for RPI purposes, but not in terms of event host. No normal SHU branding/student section and not included in SHU season ticket package. Really a raw deal of a home game, which is why I can't imagine this including a return game at VCU, unless perhaps its part of a similar event at the Verizon center or something.

Butler just trumped your 317 RPI Chicago State Cougars. We announced that RPI 325 Western Illinois Leatherbacks are coming to Hinkle. I thought there was a push to end this type of scheduling nonsense.

Yes they are full. I'm wondering though why the Morehead St. game on Nov. 10 and Baylor Game on Nov. 28th aren't on the schedule yet.

I get your frustration. If there were only a similar private university with an established top 50 rpi team within a hundred miles or so that would agree to play you guys...
