George Washington vs. La Salle Prediction
I’m on La Salle here. The Explorers swept the two meetings between these two teams in the regular season and the problem for GW there was a lot of the same problems they faced throughout the year and that was a lack of defense. La Salle’s more sound on the defensive end of the floor, and I think GW won’t be able to break down La Salle enough to cover the low line. Give me La Salle here.
