My gut and my head are telling me URI is an easy PK, especially based on the way both teams have started the season. Only problem is I was pretty high on Northeastern to start the year, and despite their poor play so far, my belief in them still lingers. And here's why (preview from sportsnetwork.com):
Following a 9-9 season in league play, the Huskies welcome back virtually all of their key contributors, including all five starters. Junior guard/forward Matt Janning followed up his CAA Rookie of the Year campaign by finishing third in the league in scoring with 16.1 ppg. He was selected to the All-CAA second team and will begin this season as a preseason first-team member. Sophomore guard Chaisson Allen (9.2 ppg) is back after his All-Rookie campaign. Other key returnees include the junior frontcourt tandem of Manny Adako (10.6 ppg) and Nkem Ojougboh (9.9 ppg/6.4 rpg). The Huskies could take a major step forward if they continue to play lights-out defense. Last year, they held opponents to just 64 points per game.
