Rhode Island vs Yale Prediction 

Yale comes into this matchup looking for their fourth win in a row to start the season and they are shooting 53% from the field. The Bulldogs have scored 86+ points in all three wins, with two of them coming by at least 29 points. Rhode Island does have a 17-point loss to Tulsa, but they are shooting 47% from the field and scored 80 points in each of their last two games. Both teams can put up plenty of points and I don’t really love the defense, so give me the over here.
