The La Salle Explorers and the George Mason Patriots meet in college basketball action from the EagleBank Arena on Saturday afternoon.

The La Salle Explorers will look to build on an 85-65 win over Duquesne last time out. Sherif Kenney leads the way for La Salle with 10.3 PPG as La Salle’s lone double-digit scorer up to this point in the season while Jack Clark has 9.8 PPG with 5 RPG and Jharrar Brickus has 9.2 PPG with a team-high 3.4 APG and 2 steals per game so far this season. David Beatty has 8.6 PPG and Christian Ray also has 7.7 PPG and a team-high 6 RPG to lead La Salle on the glass. As a team, La Salle is averaging 68.8 PPG on 43.9% shooting from the field, 34.6% from 3-point range and 68.7% from the foul line while allowing 72.9 PPG on 45.3% shooting from the field and 31.9% from 3-point range this season.

The George Mason Patriots will look to build off of a 63-58 win over George Washington last time out. Jordan Miller leads the Patriots in scoring with 15.8 PPG along with 6 RPG while Javon Greene has 11.6 PPG with 5.1 RPG and Tyler Kolek has 10.9 PPG with a team-high 2.4 RPG this season. Josh Oduro has 10.8 PPG with a team-high 6.3 RPG to round out George Mason’s group of double-digit scorers up to this point in the season while also leading the Patriots on the glass this season. As a team, George Mason is averaging 70.5 PPG on 42.2% shooting from the field, 32.3% from 3-point land and 63.4% from the foul line while allowing 69.8 PPG on 43.6% shooting from the field and 34.8% from 3-point range this season.

La Salle is 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 road games and 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the over is 6-1 in their last 7 games following a win. George Mason is 2-5 ATS in their last 7 games following a win and 2-6 ATS in their last 8 Saturday games while the under is 17-5 in their last 22 home games. The home team is 5-2 ATS in the last 7 meetings between these two teams.

I’ve gone back and forth on this one as I genuinely think a case could be made for either side. However, George Mason’s been the better team over the course of the season and have been a lot better at home than La Salle has been on the road. La Salle has just had a lot more issues than the Patriots have up to this point, so I’ll lay the points with GMU at home here.
