La Salle vs. Saint Louis Pick
Spread Pick for La Salle vs. Saint Louis
- La Salle Explorers +23 (5 units)
The La Salle Explorers have been competitive at times and have defeated some strong competition in conference play. La Salle beat a decent St. Bonaventure squad and also stunned a good Dayton squad with a win a few weeks ago. The Saint Louis Billikens are obviously the best team in the A10 and will win this game, but this is too big of a spread to cover. They have only covered in two of their past five games.
Furthermore, the Explorers are playing better defense in recent games, and it should be the key to keeping them in this game. They have kept their opponents to 67 or fewer points in three of their past five games. La Salle kept up with Saint Louis in the meeting last month. They only lost by 12 points. Go with La Salle to keep it within reach on the road.
Over/Under Pick for La Salle vs. Saint Louis
- Over 150 (5 units)
I expect plenty of scoring. La Salle scored 72 points in the first meeting, which is about six points above its season average. The Billikens play at a quick pace, standing 21st in adjusted tempo, and will give up a ton of points. They have squandered at least 70 points in four of their past five games.
In addition, Saint Louis has a potent offense that is exposing the A10. They have averaged 90 points in their past five games, including 102 points against Dayton last week. Saint Louis is dominant from beyond the arc, and the Explorers are pegged 316th in the country in three-point defense.
