La Salle vs. Fordham Key Player to Watch

Dejour Reaves, G - Fordham Rams

Fordham's offense goes through Dejour Reaves. He is their primary scorer, averaging 17.7 points per game, along with 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists. He's coming off a 22-point performance against Davidson, and if Fordham wants to win this game tonight, they need similar production from Reaves against this La Salle defense.

This pick is a bet against La Salle, which has been one of the worst teams in college basketball this season. The Explorers rank 325th in college basketball in effective field goal percentage, and now they have to take on a Fordham Rams team that ranks 85th in defensive efficiency and 69th in opponent two-point field goal percentage. That's going to be huge against a La Salle team that largely keeps its offense to the interior.

La Salle also turns the ball over on 18.9% of its possessions, which ranks 314th in the country. This is a terrible matchup for the Explorers, and I think they're in over their head on the road against the Rams.
