La Salle @ Richmond

Current Records: La Salle 7-14; Richmond 16-9

What to Know

The Richmond Spiders are 7-2 against the La Salle Explorers since January of 2016, and they'll have a chance to extend that success Saturday. Richmond and La Salle will face off in an Atlantic 10 battle at 6 p.m. ET at Robins Center. Given that these two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

It was close but no cigar for the Spiders as they fell 87-84 to the George Mason Patriots on Wednesday. Richmond's loss came about despite a quality game from forward Grant Golden, who had 23 points in addition to eight boards.

Meanwhile, the game between the Explorers and the Saint Louis Billikens on Tuesday was not a total blowout, but with La Salle falling 75-57 at home, it was darn close to turning into one. A silver lining for La Salle was the play of forward Clifton Moore, who had 23 points along with five rebounds and four blocks.

Richmond is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the Saint Joseph's Hawks Dec. 30 easily too and instead slipped up with an 83-56. In other words, don't count La Salle out just yet.
