What to Know

The La Salle Explorers are 2-8 against the Richmond Spiders since January of 2016, but they'll have a chance to close the gap a little bit Wednesday. La Salle and Richmond will face off in an Atlantic 10 battle at 7 p.m. ET at Tom Gola Arena. The point spread is more or less neutral, so fans should expect a close contest.

The Explorers strolled past the Massachusetts Minutemen with points to spare this past Saturday, taking the matchup 86-72. La Salle got double-digit scores from five players: guard Josh Nickelberry (21), guard Khalil Brantley (17), guard Daeshon Shepherd (13), guard Anwar Gill (12), and forward Rokas Jocius (12).

Meanwhile, Richmond sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 74-71 victory over the Loyola Chicago Ramblers this past Saturday. It was another big night for Richmond's forward Tyler Burton, who had 23 points along with five rebounds.
