Dangerous road game for Seton Hall today. An improved Rutgers squad already hung tough with both Michigan State and Florida State at the RAC this year in addition to winning an exhibition against SJU, and we all know this game is the super bowl. It's the first game RU has sold out in years and we know the Hall is going to get their best shot.

If the Pirates bring their best, they should win fairly comfortably. If they bring anything less, they could be in trouble.

Coach Pikiell who put my alma-mater in the mid-major map (Stony Brook) is doing a good job @ Rutgers trying to build that program. However, NO way do I believe they can beat The Hall today. The Hall is on a different level. Notice that RU is 1-3 against Major Conference competition (that's if we count ECU as major... lol)

I'm hoping the league somehow goes 4-1 (80%). But 3-2 not bad either

Is this where Georgetown's undefeated season comes to an end? It's their first opponent in the top 200!

If both teams play their best, I agree Rutgers has no chance. My worry is that the Hall may take them lightly. Nobody on the roster has ever lost a game to Rutgers. Here's hoping that today makes it a perfect 4-0 for the seniors.

I'll bet anyone here dollars to donuts that if DePaul were to win, Stever says it actually hurt the conference because it makes Creighton's road win over Northwestern less valuable.

This Cuse/GTown game is U-G-L-Y! One basket in over four minutes of play.

I haven't really paid much attention to Syracuse this season, but so far they look to only have two players (Battle and Howard) who can do anything on the offensive end.

First one to 20 will win this game.
