Randy’s Free Pick

The Richmond Spiders are probably the more talented team and should be favored, but they haven’t been so hot over the last week, and they lose on the road by an average of 7.9 points. La Salle is playing the better ball at the moment, and possibly its best ball of the season over the last week. At home, I’ll take a shot with the Explorers.
