Free Pick: Rhode Island -5 (JR O’Donnell)
Jr O goes to the 23-9 Rams tonight as this is a huge gut move for us , We are not sold on the Wildcats on the road tonight who rely heavy on the on the 3. We note that the Cats have a terrible road record 2-8 ats with ugly losses to the Hooisers 88-80 & Nit Lions 79-60 (ouch). The Cats will get killed on the boards tonight, The pure fact that the Rams succeed in transition and vs the Owls last game they had only one fast break bucket and sharp shooter Akeeem Richmond went 0-5 last game from the 3 puts the Rams in a nasty mood. They get out and run tonight.
