Rhode Island vs La Salle Prediction – Basketball Picks 3/7/23

The Rhode Island Rams and the La Salle Explorers will meet in Brooklyn to face off in the first round of the Atlantic 10 Championship at the Barclays Center on ESPN+. URI leads the all-time series, 34-10, after winning ten of the last eleven games.

Rhode Island closed at 9-21 following a home loss to Davidson. The Rams stuck with the Wildcats early, but they’d fall behind after the break and lose by fourteen, 68-54. URI is scoring 66.3 points per game, while allowing 70.6 ppg, and shooting 39.8% from the floor.

Rhode Island dropped eight of their final nine games, and a short stint here in Brooklyn feels likely. URI played through the backcourt pairing of Ishmael Leggett and Braylon Freeman this season. Leggett scored 20 points in their lone win last month, and he leads URI in scoring (16.6), while scoring 5.8 rpg. Freeman is second at 14.3 ppg, but he’s missed the last six games, and his absence has handicapped their offensive attack.
