The Rhode Island Rams will travel to Ohio and take on the Dayton Flyers for an A-10 battle this Friday night.
Dayton is favored to win at home here.
Rhode Island Rams
Rhode Island came into A-10 play with solid non-conference over wins Harvard and Boston College, but they fell at home to Richmond last time out. The Rams took a lead into halftime, but they couldn’t off the Spiders, losing 70-63.
URI is an efficient team that plays from the inside-out. The Rams shoot 48.8% from the field, ranking 18th in the nation, and they block almost seven shots per game.
Jeremy Sheppard runs the offense from the lead guard spot. He scored a season-high 25 points in the road win over Milwaukee, and he’s second on the team in scoring (10.9) and assists (3.1).
The play of the Mitchell brothers up front will heavily factor into the outcome of this one. Makhel Mitchell mans the middle, and causes a lot of trouble for opposing offenses. The 6’10 big man blocked a school-record eight shots in the win over Boston College, and he ranks fourth in the nation at 3.1 bpg.
Mahki Mitchell double-doubled in the win over Milwaukee, and he leads URI in rebounding (6.9), while scoring 9.4 ppg.
Antwan Walker ironically plays like former NBA All-Star Antoine Walker, stretching the floor and crashing the glass effectively. The 6’7 forward averages 8.5 ppg, and 4.6 rpg.
Guards Ishmael Leggett, Malik Martin, and Ball State transfer and Ishmael El-Amin join Sheppard in the frontcourt.
Dayton Flyers
Dayton had a respectable non-conference slate that included wins over Kansas, Virginia Tech, and Miami, and they’ve started A10 play on a strong note.
The Flyers have won five of their first seven conference games, with both losses coming by one point.
Daron Holmes II is rapidly improving, and he’s been a force since the start of A-10 play. The 6’10 freshman scored a season-high 20 points in the win over the Bonnies, and he leads the team in scoring (11.6), while grabbing 5.9 rpg and ranking second in the conference with 2.5 bpg.
Toumani Camara has come in and grown into the leader of this Dayton squad early. The Georgia transfer sets the tone defensively, and he scores 10.1 ppg, while leading the team in rebounding (6.5).
Fellow freshman Malachi Smith has impressed early in the backcourt. The 6′ do-it-all guard scores 10.1 ppg, grabs 4.1 rpg, and leads the team with 5.2 apg.

Free Rhode Island Rams vs. Dayton Flyers NCAAB Prediction: URI/DAY to go Under
Two of the top three defenses in the Atlantic 10 will meet in what should be a low-scoring, contested game.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Under 134.5
It’s easier to trust both of these teams defensively than it is offensively right now. A win here at home would move Dayton into second place, and to do that they will need to bring their A game defensively for the Mitchell brothers. This will definitely be a hard-fought battle.
Take under for this Atlantic 10 matchup.
