What to Know

Lafayette will be in front of their home fans on Saturday, but a look at the spread shows they might need that home-court advantage. They will take on the La Salle Explorers at 2:00 p.m. ET on Saturday. Lafayette is limping into the match on a six-game losing streak.

Last Tuesday, the Leopards couldn't handle the Lions and fell 83-72.

Meanwhile, the Explorers escaped with a win on Wednesday against the Greyhounds by the margin of a single free throw, 62-61. That's two games straight that La Salle has won by exactly a single point.

Among those leading the charge was Andres Marrero, who went 6 for 10 from beyond the arc en route to 18 points and 1 assists.

The Leopards bumped their record down to 1-9 with that loss, which was their fifth straight on the road. As for the Explorers, the victory makes it two in a row for them and bumps their season record up to 7-2.

While only Lafayette took care of their fans the last time they played, neither team managed to cover. Looking forward, La Salle is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 4.5 points. This contest might not be the best time to bet them against the spread since they've let bettors down the last six times they've played.

This contest is one where the number of possessions is likely to be a big factor: Lafayette have been smashing the glass this season, having averaged 32.5 rebounds per game. However, it's not like La Salle struggles in that department as they've been even better at 36.3 per game. Given these competing strengths, it'll be interesting to see how their clash plays out.
