RHODE ISLAND +14 - This Rams club handed St. Joe?s just their 2nd loss of the season on January 19. For those of you automatically thinking revenge, especially here in Philadelphia, remember that Rhode Island is a solid 11-6 this season, including 6-3 S/U and 6-1, 85.7% ATS on the road. They are losing their road games by a narrow average of 1.8 points, making them an attractive double-digit underdog in here. They are also 3-1 ATS in their last 4 meetings with the Hawks. St. Joseph?s is a perfect 7-0 at home this season, but they had a very weak non-conference home schedule with the exception of Depaul, who they only beat by 3 points. This is a very scrappy team that fits the ?Whole is greater than sum of its parts? concept very well, but they may be starting to wear down a bit. They are only 2-2 in their last 4 games after a 12-1 start vs. the aforementioned soft schedule, and they are coming off of a 6-point loss at George Washington on Wednesday.
