Rhode Island vs La Salle Prediction
Under normal circumstances this would be a letdown spot for Rhode Island after beating Saint Louis. However, La Salle hasn’t won a game since January 21 and can’t score the ball. This is also a revenge spot for Rhode Island after losing to La Salle last month as 11.5-point underdogs. This feels like a spot for Rhode Island to stack wins and move up in the A10 standings with March right around the corner. I’m going to lay the reasonable number with Rhode Island on the road.
