Schule's NCAAB "TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE" *BLOCKBUSTER*

Result: Win
This is a 10* play on the La Salle Explorers.
At first glance it might seem strange to see Davidson getting points in a matchup with La Salle. The Wildcats have won all four meetings in this series dating back to 2009. This year's Davidson squad doesn't appear to be at par with those previous teams. I bet against the Wildcats in their last game, a home win over VCU. Here is what I said prior to the game: "Davidson is normally one of the top teams in this conference, but this year's squad is struggling. They've lost three of four in conference play, and that includes home losses to Richmond and Fordham. Davidson's leading scorer Jack Gibbs was just 3-of-17 from the field in his last game, and the team as a whole shot just 28.9 percent from the field." Now a home win over VCU might seem to suggest that the Wildcats have righted the ship, but I've drawn a different conclusion. They won that game by a score of 69-63, shooting just 40.4 percent from the field. The Rams simply couldn't buy a bucket, shooting just 34.5 percent from the field, and 17.6 percent from beyond the arc. I think that win says more about the poor play of VCU than it does about Davidson. They are going to struggle here against an Explorers team that is 7-1 at home, coming off back to back double digit wins over Rhode Island and George Washington.
Take LAS.
