Princeton’s defense faces a road test

Princeton has allowed 61.3 points per game and averages 9.8 steals, giving the Tigers a defensive foundation for this matchup. Jackson Hicke leads the team in scoring, assists and rebounding, but Princeton’s 40% field-goal shooting makes dependable offense an important question against an unbeaten opponent.

The Tigers recovered from an 82-68 loss at Siena by beating Stony Brook 69-59 in their most recent game. Their other wins came at home against Hofstra, 60-58, and Carnegie Mellon, 78-46. Those results show Princeton can win a tight, lower-scoring game as well as create separation, but the Siena trip is the clearest warning about what happens when an opponent scores freely. Princeton has not yet shown in these completed games that it can overcome that kind of scoring on the road.

Rhode Island’s scoring meets Princeton’s resistance

Rhode Island averages 81.3 points and 40.3 rebounds per game, pairing greater scoring output with a strong presence on the glass. The Rams also shoot 37% from three and average 8.5 total turnovers. Matas Deniusas leads their scoring at 14.0 points per game, though Princeton’s defense presents a meaningful test.

The Rams opened with a 103-59 win over Holy Cross, then beat Monmouth 84-66 at neutral-site Mohegan Sun Arena. Their next two wins were less explosive: 71-65 against Maine and 67-47 against Maryland Eastern Shore. The Maine result showed Rhode Island could finish a closer contest, while the latest win leaned on limiting the opponent rather than piling up points. Three of these victories came at the Thomas M. Ryan Center, where the Rams have shown they can succeed in games with different scoring patterns.

BTB Betting Pick

Winner pick: Rhode Island Rams.

Rhode Island’s stronger scoring and rebounding numbers give it the edge, especially after Princeton’s road loss at Siena. The Tigers’ defensive results make this competitive if they can keep the Rams’ offense contained.
