Fordham at La Salle

Plenty of defensive deficiencies as a pair of teams with losing records clash in the regular season finale. Fordham is second to last in the Atlantic 10 in points allowed (71.2 pg) and field goal shooting defense (.451). At least the offense is tops in the conference at the charity stripe, an impressive .782 mark. The Rams allow 70.1 points per game on the road where five of their last seven contests have sailed OVER. La Salle has lost six of eight allowing over 70 points in six of those. At home, the Explorers are getting beat by a 75-72 average. The first meeting sailed OVER the total by double-digits in a 73-71 La Salle victory and look for more offense than defense in the rematch. Take the OVER.
