Lafayette vs La Salle Prediction
I considered the Lafayette Leopards and the points as they showed some things against Villanova and have a couple of scorers who can make things happen. However, the La Salle Explorers are the sharper, deeper team, and they got after it defensively in their victory. La Salle can make some noise this season in the A10. La Salle is also 6-2-1 ATS in its last 9 games. I’d need more points to consider Lafayette in this spot. Give me La Salle and the somewhat reasonable number on Saturday afternoon.Â
