PHILADELPHIA – La Salle, the only remaining undefeated team in Atlantic 10 play, will take its six-game winning streak to Ohio when it visits Dayton on Saturday at 7 PM.
Scouting the Explorers (13-4, 2-0 A-10)
The Explorers have won 11 of their last 12 games, including six straight, and enter a tough-two game stretch with road games at Dayton and at Temple. Last time out, La Salle received 21 points and six assists from sophomore
Tyreek Duren on its way to a 68-57 Big 5 victory at Penn.
Junior
Ramon Galloway and sophomore
Sam Mills are starting to make their name as one of the top defensive backcourts in the nation. The two have held three Bob Cousy Award finalists (Tu Holloway, Zack Rosen and Ashton Gibbs) into poor shooting nights this season.
Galloway continues to lead the team in scoring (14.8 ppg.), followed by senior
Earl Pettis at 14.4 ppg. Duren added 13.5 ppg. and Mills scores 12.0, making La Salle the only team in the A-10 with four scorers over 12.0 ppg.
Freshman
Jerrell Wright has been cleaning the glass of late, averaging 8.9 rpg. in his past eight contests. Senior
Devon White is moving up the all-time block charts and now has 72 career rejections to move into the top 10.
Scouting the Flyers (12-5, 2-1 A-10)
Dayton has recorded two impressive wins in the A-10, beating Saint Louis in overtime and taking down Temple by 10 points in Philadelphia. First-year coach Archie Miller relies on Kevin Dillard, who is leading the Flyers in scoring at 12.3 ppg. Chris Johnson (10.6 ppg.) missed the St. Bonaventure game on Wednesday and Josh Benson (10.9 ppg.) is out for the season.
UD Arena continues to be one of the toughest places to play in the nation as the Flyers have an impressive .780 winning percentage all-time in the building.
