This is too many points in this game for Providence to win and cover by. Providence is a good team especially with their defensive edge, but this will be a lower scoring game and Brown has the ability to control the pace to the point where they can get their shots. They will be desperate to get their fourth win of the season so look for a better effort from the Bears. The Bears have this in their favor; the Friars tend to get too many fouls and are only shooting 69% or less at the free throw line so the Bears have a chance at the free throw line to get those extra points. Providence wins by 8-10 points but the Bears cover in this lower scoring game.

Providence is 5-15 ATS in home games after a game being out-rebounded by opponent by 15 or more since 1997. Brown is 12-4 ATS after 1 or more consecutive wins over the last 2 season.

Best bet: take the points with Brown.
