Rider at Providence

The Rider Broncs come into this game at 5-1, as do the Providence Friars. A closer look shows that each has lost to an elite opponent and taken care of the rest. Providence is going to have to rely on their primary offense for this one as the Friars biggest weakness so far has been off the glass where they are about breakeven to an average schedule. Rider has done a good job off the glass at +21 for the season, and while shots will be contested vs. a quicker more athletic team, the pace will be slow. The more second chance shots the Broncs can muster will eat into the clock in this one and limit possessions. Play on the UNDER.
