Rams Hit the Road
URI pulled off a mild home-upset on Wednesday night, rallying from a 13-point deficit to defeat visiting Saint Joseph’s, 78-74. They went on a late 18-5 run to take the lead and battled through the final three minutes to earn the victory. Forward David Green led the way with his first career double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds. He also added two assists, two steals, and a block in a well-rounded effort. Luis Kortright chipped in with 12 points, six rebounds, and five assists. Jaden House had 15 points and David Fuchs joined the double-double club with 13 points and 10 rebounds in the game.

Conference Home Opener
Davidson dropped its A-10 opener at home on Wednesday night to the Dayton Flyers, 72-59. The loss ended a seven-game winning streak for the Wildcats. Davidson was done in by a poor shooting, hitting on just 38% of their shots on the night compared with over 50% shooting from Dayton. The one bright spot for the Wildcats was the play of their bench. The Wildcats’ bench scored a season-high 34 points, led by Bobby Durkin’s 14 points.
The Wildcats will be looking for their first A-10 win of the season at home on Tuesday night. The Wildcats come in ranked 265th in scoring offense this season. They are 171st in field goal percentage and 224th in 3-point offense. Defensively, the Wildcats are 56th in scoring defense thus far. They are 153rd in field goal defense and 137th in 3-point defense. Davidson is one of the worst rebounding teams in the nation, ranked 324th in total rebounds per game. They are very efficient, however, ranking 64th in turnovers per game.

Neither of these two teams has been prolific on the offensive end this season. The Wildcats are far and away the better defensive team, however. They are in the top 60 in points allowed per game this season and have been equally effective in the paint and on the perimeter defensively. Additionally, the Wildcats do a great job of protecting the basketball, ranked 64th in turnovers. URI turns the ball over at an alarmingly high rate, ranked 284th in the country. In a game featuring two teams that have trouble putting up points, I’m leaning on the team that doesn’t waste offensive possessions.
Take Davidson minus the points.
Prediction: Davidson to cover

Points should be hard to come by on Tuesday night. Both teams are below-average scoring teams and neither is particularly prolific from long-range. As I noted above, the Rams give away a ton of possessions via the turnover as well. Both teams are below average in pace of play, particularly Davidson. Davidson is ranked just 283rd in the nation in pace of play and will certainly not be in any hurry to speed up any possessions.
Take the under.
Prediction: Under
