Brown Bears vs Providence Friars Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tuesday, 12/09/25

The Brown Bears and the Providence Friars will meet inside Amica Mutual Pavilion for a non-conference game on Tuesday. Brown began the season with 4 straight losses but has won 4 of its last 5 games. The Bears are ranked just #229 nationally at KenPom, so Providence should have no issues winning this game at home. The Friars are just 6-4 on the year and need to continue to stack wins if they want a chance at the NCAA Tournament. The spread is set at Providence -16.5, but my best bet of this game is the under.

Providence likes to play at a fast pace, but Brown will try to slow down the game as much as possible. According to KenPom, Brown is ranked #292 in adjusted tempo and #274 in average offensive possession length. The slow pace should help the total stay under, and Brown’s struggling offense will help the total staying under the number, too. The Bears’ offense is currently ranked #326 in adjusted offensive efficiency and will likely have trouble scoring on Providence’s defense. Providence’s defense should be athletic enough to stop a lesser opponent like Brown, and Brown’s defense is better than most low-major teams. The Bears’ defense is ranked #69 nationally in effective field-goal percentage and #41 in 3-point percentage. I do not see points being easy for either team in this game, so the under is the play.
