Last time out: Rider def. UW Milwaukee, 74-60; La Salle def. Villanova, 77-74 (OT).
Projected starting lineups: Rider: G-Jon Thompson (Sr. 11 ppg), G-Nurideen Lindsey (Jr. 15.6 ppg), G-Anthony Myles (Jr. 14.3 ppg), F-Danny Stewart (Jr. 9 ppg), F-Junior Fortunat (So. 4 ppg).
La Salle: G-Tyreek Duren (Jr. 15.5 ppg), G-Ramon Galloway (Sr. 15.3 ppg), G-Sam Mills (Jr. 9.3 ppg), F-Jerrell Wright (So. 14 ppg), F-Steve Zack (So. 8.5 ppg).
Rider player to watch: Myles had a terrific road trip, including a career-high 24 points in the win over Jacksonville. But his defense may be more important that his scoring against the Explorers. Myles, who at 6-foot-5 is Rider?s biggest guard, will likely draw the assignment against Duren, La Salle?s leading scorer.
La Salle player to watch: Duren handles the ball but Galloway is an explosive scorer on his night. The South Carolina transfer scored 26 points in the Explorers? long-awaited win over Villanova. He?s also not afraid to chuck, firing up 22 shots against the Wildcats. If the Broncs slow down Duren, expect Galloway to bomb away from long range.
