George Washington vs. La Salle Prediction

I’m on George Washington in this one. I just don’t trust La Salle, even at home, after that sluggish performance against Fordham. This La Salle team has been so inconsistent that it makes it hard to rely on them on a game-to-game basis. GW has to have some confidence after the wins over Richmond and Saint Louis at home and this is a big-time revenge spot for George Washington after getting swept by La Salle last season. I’ll roll with the Revolutionaries laying the bucket on the road in this one.
