The Saint Joseph’s Hawks and La Salle Explorers meet Wednesday in the college basketball Atlantic 10 First Round at the Stuart C. Siegel Center.

The Saint Joseph’s Hawks look to build on their three-game winning streak. The Saint Joseph’s Hawks are averaging 72.5 points on 41.3 percent shooting and allowing 82.6 points on 46.9 percent shooting. Ryan Daly is averaging 17.2 points and 6.2 rebounds while Taylor Funk is averaging 16.3 points and 1.3 assists. Jack Forrest is the third double-digit scorer and Dahmir Bishop is grabbing 2.6 rebounds. The Saint Joseph’s Hawks are shooting 31.3 percent from beyond the arc and 71.8 percent from the free throw line. The Saint Joseph’s Hawks are allowing 34.9 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 31.3 rebounds per game.

The La Salle Explorers need a win after losing seven of their last nine games. The La Salle Explorers are averaging 68.2 points on 43.6 percent shooting and allowing 73.6 points on 45.7 percent shooting. Jack Clark is averaging 9.3 points and seven rebounds while David Beatty is averaging 9.2 points and 2.8 rebounds. Anwar Gill is grabbing 4.8 rebounds and Jhamir Brickus is grabbing 1.7 rebounds.

The Hawks are 1-3-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 Wednesday games. The Explorers are 5-13 ATS in their last 18 neutral site games and 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 games overall. The over is 15-7 in Hawks last 22 overall. The over is 6-1 in Explorers last 7 overall. The favorite is 18-7-2 ATS in the last 27 meetings.

The La Salle Explorers lost to Saint Joseph’s a couple weeks ago in overtime and are playing absolutely horrible basketball right now, losing their last five games by an average of 11.6 points while shooting 41.3 percent from the field. Saint Joseph’s are in better form right now. However, in a near pick em spot, I have to give the edge to the team that’s played the better ball all season, and that’s the La Salle Explorers. Don’t love it, but I lean La Salle.
