La Salle will look for a huge road win on Wednesday night, when it travels to George Washington.
The Explorers (18-11, 7-7) desperately need to get a win. They've lost five of six including at lowly Fordham over the weekend, 67-62. It's imperative La Salle turns it around now and gets some momentum going into next week's conference tournament, which they will need to win in order to play in the NCAA tournament.
Earl Pettis and Ramon Galloway will lead La Salle into battle, averaging almost 30 points combined per night on a Explorers team that has to step up in a big way.
The Colonials (10-18, 5-9) are just searching for a winning streak, something they haven't had in over a month when they defeated Richmond and Charlotte. It's senior night for Tony Taylor, Michael Conward, Jabari Edwards and Aaron Ware. Taylor leads the team in scoring with over 13 points per game and assists with 4.4.
With both teams looking to improve seeding for the Atlantic 10 tournament, it will be all on the line tonight. In their previous meeting the Explorers handled George Washington easily, 78-63.
