What to Know

An Atlantic 10 battle is on tap between the George Washington Colonials and the La Salle Explorers at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Charles E. Smith Center. George Washington will be strutting in after a victory while La Salle will be stumbling in from a defeat.

The Colonials beat the Fordham Rams 64-55 on Sunday. George Washington relied on the efforts of guard James Bishop, who had 25 points, and forward Hunter Dean, who had seven points in addition to 14 boards. That makes it four consecutive games in which Dean has had at least ten rebounds.

Meanwhile, La Salle came up short against the Davidson Wildcats this past Saturday, falling 77-69. The losing side was boosted by forward Clifton Moore, who had 14 points along with five rebounds.

Barring any buzzer beaters, George Washington is expected to win a tight contest. They are currently three-for-three against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.

The Colonials' win brought them up to 7-12 while the Explorers' loss pulled them down to 6-12. A pair of offensive numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: George Washington is 29th worst in college basketball in points per game, with only 64.6 on average. La Salle has experienced some struggles of their own as they have only been able to knock down 41.20% percent of their shots, which is the 42nd lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
