La Salle is on its way to its worst season ever in the Atlantic-10 with a 2-13 conference record.

But the Explorers could prove tough here against Dayton.

The Flyers, 12-3 in the Atlantic-10, have to guard against overlooking La Salle.

Dayton hasn't had an easy time the past few years when playing at Tom Gola Arena losing four of the past five times. The Explorers also edged the Flyers, 67-65, in Dayton during the conference opener last season pulling off the feat as a 12-point road 'dog.

The Flyers won't have guard Elijah Weaver. He's out for the season with a wrist injury. Weaver was leading the Flyers in scoring before his injury.
