MIT Simulator - NCAAB Friday Davidson vs Rhode Island Winner
MIT Simulator Score - Rams 78.43, Wildcats 67.98 - Projected Margin of Victory: 10.45 - Current Line: +2 - Variance to Line: 12.45 - MIT Simulator shows Edge Factor of 12.45 points. Value is a dozen points! Key factors noted: This may look like a meaningless late season pre-tournament game but the fact is that the Rams want this badly. Yes the Wildcats are at home and are playing their regular season finale for the home fans plus seeking revenge. But it is Rhode Island that just had their Senior Night ruined by a brutal 30 point loss at the hands of St Joseph's. This put a blemish on the fact that the Rams had just finished celebrating their first ever outright Atlantic Ten regular season title. The Rams want (and need to) bounce back big here! As for the Wildcats, they are off of a tough loss too but of a different variety. Davidson just lost in triple-overtime to St Bonaventure and that was the team that the Wildcats were battling for 2nd place in the A-10. A triple-OT loss in a situation like that is much tougher to bounce back from then an embarrassing 30-point loss like Rhode Island just suffered. Coach Hurley and the Rams respond here with a big win and that is in full agreement with the simulator forecast in this one. Net edge factors for Rams equating to upset victory by 10.45 points per MIT Simulator. Play: RHODE ISLAND
