Seton Hall gets a chance to play a weaker Wagner team than normal. Remember last time Wagner played they beat VCU by 14 points. Don't think Wagner will be quite like that tonight. But will look great end of the year which helps the Hall out.

What's up with Wagner? 2-0, beat VCU on the road by 14, last 3 games postponed (due to COVID I guess), and currently they're weaker than normal?

This is a team St. John's typically plays most years (not this one), and from what I remember they've been pretty mediocre in the past.

projected to win the NEC conference. Not a great team in general- but a team that will finish high enough to make this a Q3 win. But they're going to be shorthanded I believe for the game tonight so Seton Hall gets a weaker version of them.

Ah good to know. Was surprised that they easily beat VCU on the road and that Hall was still favored by 15. I know VCU isn't that good this year, but still, they've beaten an ACC and SEC team.

Need to aim for at least 3-1 tonight.

4-0 tonight please. We are on the hunt for that top-3 rpi. We must go 4-0 tonight.

and hopefully we can win that BE-B12 Challenge to close OCC strong. A lot of difficult games coming up.

Sounds like Freemantle is back tonight.

It's bad enough that Nova has to play road games at LaSalle and Penn, but these ESPN announcers are really really bad.

No kidding... horrible. I guess trying to keep it interesting.
