La Salle +10
These two teams met twice this season and their two games were so different and yet so similar. Both times Temple prevailed by a small margin (by 4 and 8 pts) and both times La Salle covered the spread. In the 1st meeting, La Salle was dominated offensive rebounding (14-1) and comitted 1 turnover less than Temple, and that gave them 13 more field goal attempts. Temple shot the ball better and won a close one. In the 2nd meeting, Temple won the ball control battle, picking up 6 more offensive rebounds and commiting 6 less turnovers than La Salle, but this time around La Salle shot the ball better and stil kept it close until the end. Either way, La Salle was competitive in both meetings and it seems to me that we have a pretty good rivalery going on between these two teams right now. In a series like this one I have to take the points with a dog playing their best basketball of the season.
