La Salle Explorers

The Explorers covered 10 of 13 home games in 2025-26, a home cover rate only four Division I teams beat. Away from their own floor they won once in 14 and covered four times.

Two teams in one

At home La Salle went 8-6 straight up and 10-3 against the spread, 76.9%; four teams in Division I did better, two matched it. On the road the same team went 1-13 and covered 4 of 14, 28.6%, with only 13 teams lower.

The moneyline tells the same story in units. The 13 priced home games made 4.40 units, a figure only 24 teams beat. The 13 priced road games lost 7.00.

The home upsets

Four home wins came as plus-money underdogs: Dayton 67-64 at +425, St. Bonaventure 78-74 at +180, Rhode Island 59-46 at +150 and Fordham 87-84 at +140. Even home losses covered: 75-80 to George Mason getting 8.5, 72-84 to Saint Louis getting 17.5.

January

January was the month that paid: 3-5 straight up, four covers in eight, and 6.05 units won on the back of two long prices, the Dayton win and a 79-72 road win at Rhode Island at +500, the only road win of the season. November cost 4.48 units, 3-6 with two covers in seven.

As underdogs

La Salle was the underdog 27 times; only 15 teams spent more games getting points. It won six of them and covered 12 of 27. Favored just three times, it won two and covered two. Across the 29 priced games, one blind unit a game lost 5.60.

The opponents

Rhode Island was the one team beaten twice, both covers, 6.50 units. George Washington and Saint Joseph’s won both meetings, with no La Salle cover.

The total

Fourteen overs and 17 unders; 110 teams went under more often, so there is nothing to sell on the total.
