La Salle covered last year's meeting, losing 89-79 as a 17-point underdog and the Explorers are getting a ton of points again even though they are improved this season. La Salle still has a potent offense and a good frontline and defensively holding opponents to a .450 shooting percentage. The Explorers come off an upset loss to Drexel, which shot 52.9 percent, but they also own a win over Temple. La Salle also has strong guard play and it's 11-4 ATS its last 15 road games after at least three straight home contests. Villanova should win this one, but laying too many points in this intra-city rivalry. Grab the points with La Salle.
