Anyone else think -7 is too low? La Salle isn't bad, and should win this one by double digits. Penn 344 out of 345 in rebounding!

Penn State played well you mean.Comment -
yea that was penn state, but yea lasalle is pretty solid, although i don't know much about penn i'll look into itComment -
Looking more at La Salle, they seem to play to the level of their competition. In this game, I think they will be able to dominate the boards, but they've played teams worse than Penn and won by less than 7. I think they SHOULD cover, and playing at home will help, but this doesn't look as great to me after looking into more of La Salle's games against lesser competition.Comment -

"BIG-5" Gm fits this description

w/Key Leader & Leader of Explorers' in 7 of 16 Categories
Aaric Murray's Off-On-Off again suspension this week
Looks like Murray will be playing
Yet, it's been a big distraction for LaSalle
Moreover, Murray definitely gives LaSalle size edge here
Though Penn Backcourt remains the Quakers key
Penn proficiency is seen from behind the Arch
From the methodical (lowest 15% Pace)
Penn's Double-Post Weave Inside out spot up 3's
Are Providing nearly HALF of Penn Pts
& LaSalle has been abnormally weak defending the perimeter

HAVE HIT 24, 17, 16 & 14 THREES
Seems Low#
Yet PENN'S PLAYED JUST 3 GMS L-38 DAYS
NINE DAYS to get ready for LaSalle
Penn very high effort in Big Gms
BIG-5 Classic is the BIGGEST thing going for Penn Quakers
Love Penn gaining MORE than 2 PossessionsComment
