A-10 Tournament: Rhode Island vs. La Salle odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Rhode Island at La Salle odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The 14th-seed Rhode Island Rams (9-21) and No. 11 La Salle Explorers (13-18) get together for a 1st-round game in the Atlantic-10 Tournament. The contest at the Barclay Center in Brooklyn will tip off at 4:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Rhode Island vs. La Salle odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Rhode Island went 5-13 in league play. The Rams went 1-1 against these Explorers; both games were decided by 2 points. Offense has been a problem area for this group. URI has shot just 38.5% from the floor in going 1-8 since Feb. 1.

La Salle has been picked apart defensively while losing each of its last 5 games. Over that stretch, the Explorers have allowed a 52.8% mark from the field. La Salle is looking to get to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2013.

Rhode Island vs. La Salle
picks and predictions

Prediction

Rhode Island 69, La Salle 67

Moneyline

URI is a solid play in plus money. PASS otherwise.

Against the spread

The Explorers have lost 4 in a row ATS and are vulnerable in this spot. La Salle’s analytic numbers don’t support its win-loss record. Rhode Island’s indicators swing the other way, and the Rams have played a slightly tougher schedule.

La Salle’s defense should provide URI with a chance to get right in its shooting performance, and we should expect some regression toward the mean anyway.

BACK THE RAMS +1.5 (-115).

Over/Under

These offenses in a mid-pace game in a big barn would make for a lean on the Under. Tab this one as a line watch. Take the Under if the total reaches 140. Otherwise, PASS.

Dayton at Rhode Island odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Dayton at Rhode Island odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The Dayton Flyers (13-7, 5-2 Atlantic-10) take on the Rhode Island Rams (6-13, 2-5) Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET (CBS Sports). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Dayton vs. Rhode Island, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Dayton comes into this matchup after a disastrous 76-69 loss against George Washington on Saturday as 8.5-point favorites. With the 268th-ranked offense in the country (68.2 points per game), Dayton will rely on its elite defense to win this conference road game. Dayton ranks 10th in the nation allowing just 59.6 PPG.

The Rhode Island offense (66.9 points to rank 306th) does not pose many scoring challenges to the Flyers. There will be a lot of missed shots in this game as Dayton holds opponents to 38.1% from the field and the Rams rank 350th making just 39.9% of their shots. Expect a drag-out contest here as the Flyers look to get back on track against 1 of the worst teams in the Atlantic-10 Conference.

Dayton at Rhode Island picks and predictions

Prediction

Dayton 65, Rhode Island 53

Moneyline

PASS.

No wager on the line is worthwhile in this game. Dayton is fighting for the conference title while Rhode Island is in the A-10 cellar.

Despite the Rams being the home team, the chances for them to win is limited by their lack of offense and a stellar Dayton defense. But at over 4-1  odds, I will not make a wager on them here.

Against the spread

DAYTON -8.5 (-115).

Dayton’s defense will have a field day against a weak Rhode Island offense.

Shooting just 39.9% from the field, the Rams will find baskets difficult and Dayton will slowly pull away and hide in this game. It’s understandable if you are hesitant due to Dayton not covering the spread in any of its last 3 games, but do not bet on Rhode Island. Instead, just make a play on the total.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 130.5 (-110).

As we have stated, the Dayton defense is elite. Rhode Island, does not have an offense to overcome such a defense and it will struggle again here.

I do not expect the Rams to get to 60 in this game and I do not see Dayton getting to 70. This makes me hammer the Under 130.5 and I would take it down to 127.5 and feel comfortable.

Rhode Island at Saint Louis odds, picks and prediction

Previewing Wednesday’s Rhode Island Rams at Saint Louis Billikens odds and lines, with college basketball picks, tips and predictions.

The Rhode Island Rams (9-11, 6-7 A-10) travel to meet the Saint Louis Billikens (8-3, 1-2) at Chaifetz Arena for a 9 p.m. ET tip Wednesday. Below, we analyze the Rhode Island-St. Louis college basketball odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated at 5:11 a.m. ET.

  • Money line: Rhode Island +310 (bet $100 to win $310) | Saint Louis -400 (bet $400 to win $100)

Rhode Island at Saint Louis: Three things to know

  1. URI is coming off a 75-63 home loss against UMass. The Rams are on a three-game losing streak while going 1-2 ATS since their last win at La Salle Jan. 27. The Rams are also 2-4 straight up and 2-4 ATS across the past six overall.
  2. Saint Louis posted a 70-59 win over St. Bonaventure as a four-point home favorite Saturday. SLU is just 2-3 SU/1-4 ATS across the past five games overall, but an impressive 8-1 SU/7-2 ATS in nine games at home.
  3. The home team has posted a 5-2 ATS mark in the past seven meetings in this series, with the favorite cashing in six of the previous eight.

Rhode Island at Saint Louis: Odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Saint Louis 73, Rhode Island 63

Money line (ML)

Saint Louis (-400) should be able to ease past URI in this A-10 battle, but risking four times your potential return is just not a good long-term betting strategy. AVOID and look to the spread instead.

Play our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Against the spread (ATS)

SAINT LOUIS -8.5 (+100) is laying a heavy number, but SLU will on its home floor and a good bet at even-money. The Billikens are just 1-4 ATS across the past five, but the trends point to the favorite and home team posting the cover in this series. Plus, the sub-.500 Rams aren’t exactly crushing it against the number either, going 4-7 ATS over the previous 11.

Over/Under (O/U)

The lean is to the UNDER 138.5 (-110). URI has hit the Under in five straight, going for 63 or fewer points on offense in four of the previous five. The Over is 8-3 in SLU’s 11 games overall this season, but the Under did cash in its most recent win over the Bonnies, and the Over/Under has split 2-2 in its past four.

The Rhode Island Rams (3-2) head to Madison to play the Wisconsin Badgers (3-1) at the Kohl Center at 4:30 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze the Rhode Island-Wisconsin college basketball betting odds and lines, with picks and predictions.

The Badgers are No. 13 in the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll.

Rhode Island at Wisconsin: Three things to know

  1. Rhode Island stumbled out of the gate, losing its first two games, but has won three in a row since. The Rams rolled Seton Hall 76-63 as 2-point underdogs, covering a third straight spread to push their ATS record up to 4-1 ATS.
  2. Wisconsin lost to in-state, out-of-conference rival Marquette 67-65 Dec. 4 thanks to a game-winning basket on a tip-in of a Golden Eagles missed free throw as time expired. Wisconsin has struggled to meet bookmakers’ expectations as it fell to 1-3 ATS.
  3. The Badgers’ originally scheduled opponent was No. 24 Louisville but the Cardinals had to pause their team activities following an outbreak of COVID-19.

Rhode Island at Wisconsin: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Wisconsin 70, Rhode Island 63

Money line (ML)

I am going to take the 11 points with Rhode Island and probably hold on for dear life as Wisconsin is by far the better team but the Badgers will have no fans in the stands and if they come out flat maybe the Rams can steal one.

Since I believe in the thinking of sprinkling a little cash on the underdog’s money line if you’re taking the points, I lean a quarter-unit on Rhode Island (+500) but feel free to pass if that’s not your style.

Against the spread (ATS)

How stoked do you think the Rams are to be thrust into the biggest game of their season out of the blue? Conversely, does Wisconsin not take Rhode Island as seriously as it should because they were expecting a ranked Power 5 opponent?

Plus, the Badgers have played a cupcake schedule (252nd-toughest schedule according to Sportsreference.com) and the Rams have played three Power 5 opponents thus far for the 59th-toughest schedule.

Rhode Island excels in its ability to get to the free-throw line and that should help keep this game competitive. The Rams are fifth in free-throw rate and the Badgers are 175th in opponents’ free-throw rate.

If Rhode Island’s two senior guards—Fatts Russell and Jeremy Sheppard—can penetrate and attack the rim they’ll get Wisconsin into foul trouble.

GIMME RHODE ISLAND +11 (-110) for 1.25 units.

Over/Under (O/U)

The market is hitting the Under 135.5 (-120) so I lean that way in Rhode Island-Wisconsin. The Badgers are one of the best defensive and slowest paced teams in the country. I am not very dialed into this total so officially I PASS.
