Seton Hall vs. VCU
(NCAAB) Pirates (HALL) vs. Rams (VCU),
Point Spread: 8.00 | -113.00 Pirates (HALL) (Away)
Result: Win
If games were based on the eye test, the Hall would be in trouble, its games to date harkening to the peach basket era with scorelines like 49-48 and 54-28 in recent games. Still, this is a very hardscrabble outfit for Shaheen Holloway that is also playing defense out of its mind, allowing just 48 ppg. the offense figures to come around at some point and improve upon its current 38% FG shooting. ODU transfer G Chaunce Jenkins is at least pulling his weight, and then some, scoring at 15 ppg (though he's the only DD scorer for the Pirates). VCU is off winging at 4-0, but Ryan Odom's Rams have not been seriously challenged yet, and certainly haven't had to deal with a snarling defense like the Hall's. Play Seton Hall (at Charleston, SC)
