Atlantic 10 Friday Game: 12/6/19

Only one game on tonight's slate, but it's a very important contest for Rhode Island and the Atlantic 10.

Rhode Island (+1.5) vs. Providence

I thought Rhody opened as the favorite, so I'm shocked to see the line move this much in Providence's favor, especially given how poor the Friars have been this season. I think Rhode Island wins this thing by a comfortable margin if Fatts and El Jefe come to play, but these matchups are always a coin flip. Throw about the records when PC comes to town.

Pick: Rhode Island +1.5

Here's the final stats from the Ryan Center tonight. 22 forced turnovers is awesome, and Mekhi Long had to have jumped like 3 passes tonight. Now we root on Providence to be much-improved in the Big East so this becomes a good win for Rhode Island.
