Our Rhode Island Rams vs Saint Louis Billikens Prediction

The Rams can play decent defense, but their offense struggles to hit shots. Against a solid Saint Louis defense, it will find it even harder to do so. Rhode Island may slow down the Billikens' offense, but their own offense will not be enough to keep up.
