Villanonva has roared out of the gate at 7-1 this season thanks to a defense that has allowed just 58.4 per game. Their lone setback came at the hands of Tennessee, a team that is proving to be better than most thought they would be. This is a rivalry game but I like the Cats to walk away with it. LaSalle is just 5-15 ATS the past two season vs. winning teams. They are 3-13 ATS vs. defenses that allow under 43% shooting (Nova has held foes to just 36.8% on the season). As a home underdog the past two seasons, the Explorers are 1-8 ATS. Lay the points with the Wildcats here.
