Xavier at Rhode Island

Xavier is an A-10 team that has probably most resembled a Big East team over the last several years. They play gritty defense, and work the ball well on the offensive end. Rhode Island has had trouble with that type of team, as they like to run up-and-down the floor. Providence and Villanova put the clamps on that style and held the Rams to 65 points in both games. I see a similar situation facing them here. The X-men have held 10 of 14 teams to 66 or less. The Rams are now 4-0 to the UNDER against the good teams that have a winning percentage of .600 or higher. I like this one to fall short of the total and will back the UNDER.
