The La Salle Explorers have had scoring issues at times this season, but that shouldn’t be an issue here against a Penn defense that’s been shaky at best this season. Don’t expect Penn’s defense to get better on the road. The Penn Quakers are also losing by an average of 12.4 points during their five-game losing streak. I’ll lay the bucket with La Salle.
