Texas A&M Commerce vs Rice Prediction
Texas A&M Commerce is limited on both sides of the ball and isn’t a team I want to get behind. It wouldn’t be surprising if Texas A&M Commerce ends up as one of the worst teams in college basketball this season. Rice went toe-to-toe with Oregon on the road last week and has its chances to win outright as a 15.5-point underdog. Rice then followed that up with a loss to SFA as a favorite, but the point remains. Rice is not only the more talented team, but has shown us more up to this point. I’ll side with Rice and whatever the line is on Friday night.
