Northeastern vs Rhode Island Prediction 

Rhode Island comes into this matchup after losing two of their last three games, but they were able to turn things around in the second half of their last game for a win. The Rams are shooting 46% from the field and they have scored 66 points or fewer in three of their last four. Northeastern has dropped three of their last four games and they are 2-4 on the road. The Huskies are shooting 45% from the field, but they have allowed at least 76+ in four of their last five. I have been impressed with how Northeastern has battled over the last few weeks and I think they can keep it close against a low scoring Rhode Island team. Take the Huskies and the points.
