Tonight: GW vs La Salle

GW's last in the A-10. La Salle isn't that far ahead. The Explorers, who have a weird-looking mascot, (see right) are 8-12 and 3-4 in conference, which looks better than it is - they've beaten St. Bona twice, Richmond once, and out of conference they lost to Howard and Morgan State with their best win against Penn, who are 7-12.

I know enough now not to say this looks like a chance for GW to break that 6-game losing streak, but the Colonials are favored by 3 by the oddsmakers. The game is at the Smith Center, which might give the bookies some hope.

The Explorers have three players scoring at least 10 per game, led by shooting Jarnell Harris, who makes almost 4 threes a game, at 15.8 points, guard Rodney Green at 13 and forward Jerel Williams, a strong candidate for A-10 freshman of the year, at 10 and 7.5 boards.

Four other players score at least 6. They also shoot 39% as a team from three, and take a lot of threes, making almost 8 a game. That's a lot of free Domino's pizza. They don't have a ton of size at forward, but have some bigger guards and outrebound their opponents by more than 5 per game.

Should be an interesting one, especially if Mo Rice and Rob Diggs play well. And I think the mascot looks more like Robert E. Lee than the Sieur de la Salle.
