Rhode Island over Drexel by 3.5
7:00 PM EST
RHODE ISLAND -3.5 @ DREXEL
Booking my Alma Mater here -3.5 & -2 @ Drexel, and not just because I used to eat burgers in the Rams Den. Rhode Island has faced stiffer challenges than this Dragons unit. I believe they are UP to the challenge.
Drexel was a team I would play more often than
avoid, however this year's squad does not impress me especially on offense.
The Rams have already posted wins against an ACC team (Boston College) and a Big East team (Providence). Their only loss was a two-point decision at VCU on December 2. Keith Cothran leads URI with 16.1 points per game. Delroy James and Lamonte Ulmer are also in double figures in scoring.
