Lafayette @ La Salle

Current Records: Lafayette 1-11; La Salle 5-6

What to Know

The Lafayette Leopards will face off against the La Salle Explorers on the road at 2 p.m. ET Wednesday at Tom Gola Arena. Given that both teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.

Lafayette received a tough blow last Monday as they fell 57-45 to the Columbia Lions.

Meanwhile, the game between the Explorers and the Cincinnati Bearcats this past Saturday was not particularly close, with La Salle falling 78-60. The top scorer for La Salle was guard Josh Nickelberry (15 points).

Lafayette is expected to lose this next one by 8. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 6-3 against the spread when expected to lose.

The losses put Lafayette at 1-11 and La Salle at 5-6. Two offensive stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Leopards are stumbling into the matchup with the 358th fewest points per game in college basketball, having accrued only 59.5 on average. The Explorers have experienced some struggles of their own as they have only been able to knock down 40.60% percent of their shots, which is the 17th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
