I'm having a tough time deciding who to take in this one. Which probably means I should just stay away. La Salle has one of the best perimeter defenses in the nation giving up only 18.5% of points to the 3. But Boise top 5 scorers all shoot 38% or higher from behind the arc. Interesting match up. Anyone got any opinion on this game?

Too tough! Ima watch and get a live line prob. Serious coin flipComment -
Not sure where you got that 18.5% number, but that is way off. They hold teams to about 30% from 3, which is still a good number though.
Pretty sure 18.5% would be an NCAA record.Comment -
18.5%? that cant be right can it?Comment -
At first I like La Salle - one of the better shooting teams in the nation. I think they're too talented for Boise St. But then I think back about how Boise fought hard against my Spartans earlier in the year, as well as when I took Boise +points when they snapped Wyoming's ~15 game winning streak. Wyoming was a shooting team much like La Salle, so I'm scared Boise's big Drmic might be too much to handle for La Salle.
Gun to head I roll with La Salle here, but it may be best to be an innocent bystander.Comment -
Didnt Wyoming lose their two top scorers the game before the Boise game? Either way this game has toss up all over it. I started out loving LaSalle, then I kinda liked Boise. LolComment -
I'm sorry not percentage, meant to say opponents percentage of points from 3 is 18.5% which ranks 2nd in the nation for percentage of points they give up, per game from behind the arc. Only 12.2 points a game from deep. Boise gets 31.7% of their points from 3, something has to give.Comment -
Here's my very in depth write up:
They both live by the 3, LaSalle plays better 3 point defense.
One of my best friends is a graduate from LaSalle and I'll be drinking watching the game w/ him tonight.
