Current Records: Boston College 3-0; Rhode Island 2-0

What to Know

The Rhode Island Rams will stay at home another game and welcome the Boston College Eagles at 6 p.m. ET Nov. 17 at Thomas M. Ryan Center. These two teams seek to continue their momentum from their previous wins.

The Rams didn't have too much trouble with the Bryant Bulldogs at home last week as they won 83-64. Four players on Rhode Island scored in the double digits: Makhel Mitchell (17), Ishmael Leggett (13), Makhi Mitchell (13), and Jeremy Sheppard (10).

Meanwhile, the Eagles beat the Fairfield Stags 72-64 on Sunday. Guard Makai Ashton-Langford and guard Jaeden Zackery were among the main playmakers for BC as the former had 17 points and the latter had 13 points and six assists.

Rhode Island is the favorite in this one, with an expected 5.5-point margin of victory. They have been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (2-0), so they might be worth a quick bet.

Rhode Island is now a perfect 2-0 while BC sits at 3-0. A couple last-season numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: The Rams have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 30.60%, which places them fifth in college basketball. But the Eagles come into the game boasting the 19th highest field goal percentage in college basketball at 42.20%. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
