La Salle Explorers vs Massachusetts Minutemen Pick – 3/12/2025

The Atlantic 10 Conference tournament heats up as the No. 11 seed UMass Minutemen (12-19, 7-11 A-10) face off against the No. 14 seed La Salle Explorers (13-18, 5-13 A-10) on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. Both teams are eager to advance in the tournament and improve their season records.

La Salle Explorers vs Massachusetts Minutemen Game Preview

UMass enters the game after a 74-51 loss to Loyola Chicago Ramblers, marking their second consecutive defeat. Despite this, the Minutemen have had the upper hand in recent matchups against La Salle, winning the last two encounters with scores of 82-60 at home and 78-55 on the road. Over the past ten meetings, UMass has secured seven victories against the Explorers.

La Salle, on the other hand, is coming off a morale-boosting 81-74 win over Saint Joseph's Hawks. However, their performance on the road has been concerning, with the team losing their last seven away games and nine of their last ten. This trend could be a significant factor as they face UMass on a neutral court.

Betting Insights

  • Point Spread: UMass is favored by 2.5 points.
  • Moneyline: UMass -145, La Salle +126.
  • Over/Under: 144.5 points.

These odds suggest a slight edge for UMass, reflecting their recent dominance over La Salle and the Explorers' struggles in away games.

Betting Trends

  • La Salle is 1-5 against the spread (ATS) in their last six Wednesday games.
  • La Salle is 3-8 ATS in their last 11 games against teams with a winning percentage below .400.
  • UMass is 1-4 ATS in their last five games following a straight-up loss.
  • The under has hit in eight of UMass's last ten games.

These trends indicate potential challenges for both teams in covering the spread, with a slight inclination towards lower-scoring games for UMass.

La Salle Explorers vs Massachusetts Minutemen Prediction
