Rhode Island vs Davidson Prediction 

Davidson comes into this contest looking for their third win in a row and they have allowed just 64 and 56 points in their last two games. The Wildcats are shooting 46% from the field and they have scored at least 79 points in two of their last three. Rhode Island has lost three games in a row and they have scored 57 points or fewer in two of those losses. The Rams are shooting 45% from the field, but they do play pretty strong defense. I think we are going to see a lower scoring game here with both defenses playing well, so I will take a look at the under here.
