T.M. Selection: Rhode Island.

I like Rhode Island to cover the spread against Richmond in this game on Tuesday. Rhode Island has been a very good home team this year only losing 1 of 9 games at home this year. That loss at home came in their most recent game losing by 2 points at home to George Washington and that was an embarrassing loss for them to suffer on their own home court. That loss also ended a 3 game win streak and I think they are going to be angry about the way they lost that game and how close it was considering how bad the team they were playing is. I expect Rhode Island to bounce back in this game and get a big win against Richmond here. Richmond has won 2 games in a row but the teams they have been playing have not been very strong teams. They have played 6 games in a row in conference play and they have won 3 of those games, losing the other 3. The 3 teams that they won against in conference play were all teams that were below .500 with 1 exception, the best team they beat was Fordham at 9-8. The teams they lost to though were all teams with much better record than them, except for 1 team with a losing record that also beat them. I think Rhode Island is going to be hungry to bounce back in this game after that bad loss on their home court and I think Richmond has had a weaker schedule that is going to hit them in the face when Rhode Island comes out and starts dominating from tha start. I like Rhode Island to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 69-61 Rhode Island.
