Line Movement and Odds
Rhode Island opened as a double-digit favorite and currently sits at −10.5, with the total posted at 133.5. Early action has leaned toward the Rams, driven by La Salle’s road splits and Rhode Island’s success as a favorite. You can compare this matchup with others on the college basketball previews page.
Moneyline pricing reflects Rhode Island control, while the total has remained steady due to both teams playing at below-average tempo.
Matchup Breakdown
La Salle’s path to staying competitive starts inside. The Explorers rank well in two-point attempts per game and rebound at a solid rate. Rob Dockery has emerged as the most reliable scoring option, coming off a 23-point outing while shooting efficiently. Jaeden Marshall adds scoring stability and converts at a high free throw rate, which matters if La Salle keeps this within reach late.
Rhode Island’s edge is balance. The Rams shoot over 45 percent from the field and finish efficiently inside the arc. Jonah Hinton and Tyler Cochran give them consistent scoring without needing to push pace. Defensively, Rhode Island limits second chances and forces opponents into longer possessions, which has translated well at home.

Best Bets and Prediction
Rhode Island has the matchup edge and the home-court advantage. La Salle’s rebounding keeps them competitive early, but scoring efficiency remains an issue away from home. If Rhode Island plays through the paint and controls tempo, separation should come in the second half.
Projected Score: Rhode Island 71, La Salle 59
Best Bet: Rhode Island −10.5
Secondary Lean: Under 133.5 due to slow pace and La Salle’s scoring ceiling
