Explorers @ Wildcats: Key Statistics
The La Salle Explorers averaged 67.5 points per game while allowing 71.5 points per game a year ago. They had a very questionable hire as they decided to get Fran Dunphy as their new head coach, as he has not coached since the 2019 season.
The Villanova Wildcats were able to average 71.7 ppg while allowing a dominant 62.7 points per game, which was 23rd in college basketball. They also have a new head coach after Jay Wright announced his retirement, but Kyle Neptune is replacing him after being an assistant for eight years. They also have lost both Collin Gillespie and Jermaine Samuels from a year ago but have a massive freshman in Cam Whitmore to make things happen.
Explorers @ Wildcats: Pick & Prediction
Both of these programs are ready to shake up the season, but there is a huge difference between these teams. While La Salle does not have a lot of talent on their roster, Villanova is one of the most talented programs in the entire nation. Their defense was able to suffocate their opponents and should dominate. Losing head coach Jay Wright could be a blow, but having Kyle Neptune take the position is a huge plus as he is familiar with the program and how it is run. I do not see them taking a step back, and they should be able to dominate here as the Explorers are not talented enough to compete and having a head coach that was the Athletic Director for a middling basketball program.
Pick: Villanova Wildcats -15 (-110)
