La Salle at Penn State

The La Salle Explorers were a huge surprise to most last season, making a run all the way to the NCAA Tournament. That success was spearheaded by a superior backcourt of Tyreke Duren, and Tyrone Garter. Those two are back and scoring at a higher rate, and La Salle should once again be a borderline NCAA Tournament team. Penn State has a lot of pieces back, but the pieces return from a team that struggled. Last season on a neutral court, the Nittany Lions were exposed by La Salle 82-57. La Salle has not been slowed down on the road after three straight home games, where they have taken to the road and gone 9-1 ATS in their last 10. The better talent is on the road team that has a good track record of playing as the visitors. Play on La Salle.
