La Salle will be guard-oriented as it returns four experienced backcourt players, including senior Isiah Deas, who averaged 11.9 points and has improved each year he has been on the team. Also, second-year coach Ashley Howard brought in some quality transfers, including 6-6 Scott Spencer, who sat out last season after transferring from Clemson. Iona returns four starters from a 17-16 season that ended with an 88-73 loss to North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament. E.J. Crawford is the top returnee as he averaged 17.7 points and 5.1 rebounds in 2018-19. The Gaels are just 2-6 ATS their last eight games against Atlantic 10 schools and 17-38 ATS their last 55 non-conference games. The Explorers have the home court in a near-even game. Take La Salle.
