Rhode Island Rams vs Providence Friars Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/06/25

It’s an action-packed Saturday as Rhode Island heads to Amica Mutual Pavilion to take on Providence. The Friars bounced back nicely from losses to Wisconsin and Florida against FDU on Tuesday with a 94-64 win, shooting 58.3% from the field. Rhode Island enters with a 3-game winning streak, but it will be facing a Providence team that loves to push the pace — a style the Rams aren’t typically comfortable with. 

Defensively, the Rams hold the advantage in this matchup. They are holding opponents to just 40.8% shooting from the floor and giving up only 66.3 points per game. The Friars are allowing opponents to shoot 42.3% and average 83.7 points per game. Offensively, though, it’s a different story. Providence is averaging 90.4 points per game compared to the Rams’ 77.2. The last time these 2 met, Rhode Island walked away with a 69-63 victory on its home court. Providence is 19-7 all-time against Rhode Island, and the Friars have one of the best home crowds in all of college basketball. Despite Providence having the depth and speed, this Rhode Island team is no pushover. We have seen Providence give up 104 points to Wisconsin, 90 to Florida, 97 to Colorado and 107 to Virginia Tech. Look for the Rams to keep this game close, as they will rely on their defense to slow down the Friars — making them my best bet of the day.
