Fordham vs La Salle Prediction 

Fordham comes into this matchup after picking up their first conference win against Duquesne in their last game, but they will be on the road for this game. The Rams are shooting just 42.2% from the field this year and they have allowed 74 points or more in two of their last four games. La Salle has lost two of their last three games and they are also shooting right around 42% from the field. The Explorers have scored 60 points or fewer in two of their last three games and their stats are very similar to Fordham’s. I do like the direction that Fordham is trending in, but I think asking them to cover on the road is too much. Take La Salle here.
