This is a crucial game for the Explorers, who we have cashed previously this season in a blowout win over Pennsylvania (terrible team!) a little less than two weeks ago. Since that time, they have interestingly dropped two of three with a road win over Fordham sandwiched in between. Before that, LaSalle was 5-2 SU at home with only a loss to Xavier. This was a team that was supposed to contend with Dayton and Xavier for A-10 supremacy, but instead has watched both Temple and Rhode Island take that honor. Maybe we shouldn't be so surprised by Rhode Island as they returned nine players from last year's NIT team. But the fact remains that they are 13-25 ATS in conference play the last three seasons and have covered just one of their last five games, an upset victory at Dayton. The Rams are 2-8 ATS when favored this season. Take LaSalle.
