The Seton Hall Pirates head into the NIT Season Tip-Off against Rhode Island Rams Barclays Center in New York unbeaten through their first four games of the season. They have the advantage of returning several key pieces from a team that won 21 games last season, and I think they'll keep rolling tonight. Rhode Island has won two of three games, but it is surrendering 71.3 ppg to opposing teams and that won't cut it here against a Seton Hall team scoring 82.8 ppg while shooting 50% from the floor. Seton Hall has the experience and talent to win and cover the spread.

My selection is an 8* play on Seton Hall Pirates.
