Why is RI a home dog here? I know they were picked to finish 11th in the preseason, but at this point they've done enough to merit more respect than this.
Funny you should mention this game GanchrowHG. This game is rather puzzling to me as well. RI have been playing great basketball this year, and GW hasn't played up to there level IMO.
Both these teams have won there last 4 games, and this game really should be a pick'um. I guess the books are basing this line on the more or less the trends over the past 10 years. GW is like 8-3 ATS against them in that time frame. Not to mention they seem to dominate there meetings against URI as well.
I agree with bigboydan, here are the last 10 meetings between the two.
