When I think of La Salle, I think of the team that went to Xavier and won outright. This team is a top 90 team and considering that Fordham is 1-9 against such teams and 0-4 against such teams at home, it does not bode well for them here. LaSalle is an impressive 6-2 against teams ranked in the 100-200 range overall and 3-1 on the road as well. Keep in mind this team kept up with George Washington for most of the game against them, beat Xavier on the road who is a top 70 team, beat Umass on the road as well as Temple at home. This team is for real and I think they get it done here like they have all season. The question becomes why is this line so low considering that this is a top 160 team in PR facing a team that is in the top 100 PR. The reason why is that Fordham is not a bad team as they are 7-4 at home and 4-0 agaist teams ranked 100-200 PR. However, when facing teams in the top 100, this team lost to GW, Charlotte who is #94 and Iona #82. This team simply has trouble beating top 100 teams all seaosn as they are 1-9 overall and 0-4 at home. Three stars on LaSalle.
