Rhode Island will take on Richmond getting a point at home after a bad loss against George Washington. The Rams shot just 2-of-19 from beyond the arc in the loss. Meanwhile, Richmond struggles to defend the 3-point line, allowing teams to shoot 35.9 percent from deep. I like the Rams to bounce back shooting the 3-ball and win outright at home.
CBS Sports Network game. Rhode Island is 8-1 at home this season and perhaps was caught in a trap game Saturday in being upset there as big favorites vs. George Washington. The Rams will have a massive size advantage with the sophomore Mitchell twins. Makhel Mitchell is 14th in the nation in both blocked shots per game (3.0) and total blocks (51). Opponents are shooting just .375 from the field against URI, the eighth-lowest field goal defense in the country. Rhody also is unveiling some super-cool "Ocean State" uniforms so they can't possibly lose! This spread opened RI at -2.5 and now the Rams are +1. Interesting. The Spiders are 1-4 ATS in their last five vs. teams with a winning record.
The Spiders have been great on the road as they are 4-2 SU and 5-1 ATS in true road games. The Rams are struggling in conference play as they are 1-2 ATS at home in conference. The Spiders offense is going to be hard for the Rams to stop. This game is going to be tight but the Spiders should pull away late. Take the road dog in this Atlantic 10 conference battle.
