Hi, it's VR again ! Nice win yesterday taking Wichita State, after a close 1st half the Shockers blew it open in the 2nd half to get us on the winning side. Today also were going with two mid-majors.
The A-10 conference is where were at, Temple @ LaSalle +9.5.
Were taking the underdog tonite, the LaSalle Explorers who are getting 9.5 points at home. In my opinion this game is a mirror of teams. Temple who's sporting a better record at this time but LaSalle is playing great defense right now and there on a Three game winning streak. LaSalle which started conference play with three straight loses, are back in the picture with those three straight victories. Confidence is always a big factor in a Rivalry game, LaSalle is feeling awfully good right now. The Explorers have played an A-10 best, 11 games decided by FIVE points or less. In my opinion there defense keeps them in every contest, 39% is what teams are shooting vs. LaSalle.
LaSalle's Aaric Murray who's a 1st round draft pick in this years NBA draft, avg. almost a douple-douple every time he steps on the hardwood.
Juan Fernandez who's Temple's playmaker is Questionable tonight. He wasn't in the line-up this past saturday.
I do believe with LaSalle's scorers and there top notch defense, the Explorers keep this game close and maybe get the "W". I'm 2-0 ats backing LaSalle in 2010-11
LaSalle +9.5
51-26 ats
5-2 ml
Good luck !
