Game thread - LaSalle @ RC - Wed 1/14 7pm ESPN+

[Section9_RowD]

Thankfully LaSalle is likely the worst team in the league this year. The Explorers come in at 5-12 overall and 1-3 in the A10 but did win at URI. Tough stretch of games to follow so would seem to me to the right time to insert AA into the starting lineup and let Tyne come off the bench for a bit. No score projection.

Any of their players poised to have a career night at our house?

coach, tell them again. it's a conference game. expect a war every night. come out with fire and don't let off the gas.

Without checking the records, you can nearly always pencil us in for wins vs. Duquesne, Fordham and La Salle and I don't see any reason to think this year is any different - Spiders win tomorrow.

Yep. LaSalle at home is as close of a thing to an auto win as we get. Hopefully, the players don't read that though and think they can just show up this game like they did SJU and get a W.

LaSalle lost to a really good GMU team by 5.
we're not good enough to think any game is an auto win.

Which unheard of player from LaSalle will bring Mooney’s house of cards down?

And beat URI on the road by double digits I believe - going into the game as a large under dog.

I believe they got some players back from injury. Still, we can't be losing to a 5 win LaSalle team at home.

Agree 97 - but all optimism is gone now. I talked myself into it for awhile this season, but now I only have fear and sadness. Maybe Walz and the team have read the board and will play a good game.

While talking to yourself about the game, do you also want to uncontrollably scream? Have you developed a nervous tic? Take courage, you are not alone.

we just lost to SJU. LaSalle probably looks at this game as one of their more realistic chances for an in-conference win.

We've lost 3 in a row on home court. In those 3 losses gave up 10 3 pointers to CSU, 17 to GW, and 10 to St J. La Salle comes in lowest in league for 3 pointers at about 5. Tonight need to make sure La Salle remains low 3 point shooting team, and we need to win home court.

We need to get the non believers back believing!
