I am having 2nd thoughts about this game. Looking over SJU's away games, there really have been no blow outs. It looks like they fight hard and make it very close.
SJU beat Seton Hall away, they might beat X away.

If Steele wants to start a pattern of making strides toward the end of the season vs what we've seen the past 3 years, this is where it starts. Perfect opportunity against a team you should beat at home to do just that. At some point, you have to get out of the roller coaster ride and start to put some wins together as the season closes.

Perfect opportunity with the last 3 home games.
