I love these kids. I hope they all get their degrees and then get to play a little more basketball somewhere. When I think about the Duren/Mills/Garland years, I'm sure as hell not gonna think about how they should have beaten George Mason in the 2nd to last regular season game of the year as Seniors. It's all gonna be the great stuff they accomplished.

Yup, and frankly next year's team will get a pass too because of Wright, Zack (even though he missed the run itself) and DJP all playing key roles in 2012-13. There's nothing that could happen (on the court) next year that would put them in the red for me.

No definitely not.
.....unless they are losing at any point, in any game, all year.

Despite having a disappointing senior year, Tyrone has never been negative or blamed others. He was a major contributor on the team that restored our program to the national stage. Best of luck to him!

I can't say anything that already hasn't been, but I'd take honest and genuine recruits any day over the trouble makers catching the media's eye. These guys were such an honor to watch and support, it made watching their success so much more enjoyable. They understood the magnitude of what they were accomplishing, but not just for themselves but for the entire La Salle community.

We've been extremely lucky to root for a team full of great kids. Best of luck to Tyreek, Sam, Taylor, and Ty going forward. I already miss them. Hoops banquet is April 16th. Hopefully everyone who showed up last year will find their way back and give this great senior class the send off they deserve. |

I love these kids so much. I hope the next crew coming in feels the same way.

I think we sold our collective basketball souls to the basketball devil for that Sweet 16 run. We all suffered this past season but it was worth it for the joyful tears we shed in 2012-13 as we owned Boise St in Dayton, tortured Kansas State fans in Kansas City and used the Southwest Philly Floater to crush Ole Miss that led to the campus-wide celebration that spilled onto Olney Ave shutting down traffic in the area. From there to "live from the Staples Center" where we had an opportunity to reach the Elite 8 but needed Zack to get there. An amazing run that can never be forgotten nor allowed to be diminished. The guys on that team, including Rohan Brown, will always be remembered fondly. Next year we look forward to greatness again.

I particularly want to thank our guys for coming back for another try, instead of selling out or trying to jump conferences to a place where they may have gotten more media attention. Despite the results not coming out as planned, I am sure pleased with the efforts by every individual, especially Steve Zack who changed from a role player who had no on court presence during the sweet16 run to a prolific scorer in a matter of months.
