La Salle vs St. Bonaventure Prediction
The La Salle Explorers have had issues stepping up in competition this season, and they struggle defensively. La Salle has also failed to cover six of its last nine games. The St. Bonaventure Bonnies are the more efficient team on both sides of the ball, especially defensively, where they hold teams to 40 percent shooting. However, you guys know the drill when it comes to St. Bonaventure, as it's been the case all season. The St. Bonaventure Bonnies are 13-2 ATS on the year, with a cover percentage of 86.6 percent. That's the best in college basketball. Kind of foolish to fade the team that covers tickets at the highest percentage. I'm rolling with the St. Bonaventure Bonnies.
