Tough game to break a long losing streak, but we can hope. As always, I will refer to VCU as the Commodores, because I like that name, and feel like VCU should have a cooler name than the Rams (especially when there’s two other Rams in the A-10.
Games on NBC Sports at Noon. Fight On Explorers!

Probably another change of starting lineup...Chemistry will be an issue...

Six years ago today we took Shaka Smart to 2OT at Gola. Treveon Graham’s 34 outdid Ty Garland’s 30, and VCU won 97-89.
That feels much more distant in the past. I just hope we can hang within a few possessions beyond the first ten minutes today. Let’s go Explorers!

VCU sloppy to start and we are not taking advantage. The offense moves to slow.

Kenny airballs a wide open 3. No words.

Then next possession he gets a 3 blocked. Can’t make this stuff up.

11 straight for VCU and we look completely overmatched. Can’t get a good shot in the half court set.

Did we just try a no look pass down 12 having not scored in 8 minutes?

I like to think I’m pretty level-headed about expectations for this team, and recognizing we’re in Year 2 of a total re-build and that we’ve been playing the better teams in the A-10. That said, it’s a little alarming just how many games in the last few weeks we’ve been totally blown out in right from the start.

Ash with a T on what looked like a walk on Santos not called.
Trying to fire up a despondent team right now. Might not be a bad idea. Interesting to see how the team responds.

Held VCU to a 21-point run at home to keep the 22-point GMU run as this year’s record - so far...

Have to get Kenney out of the game. I like his toughness but he is too careless with the ball.

Good finish to the half, although could’ve been more. Missed FT’s and an offensive Foul. 33-24 Commodores.

We shouldn't need to have a fire lit under our asses in order to start playing something you supposedly love to play.
It seems to be a hallmark of La Salle basketball the past number of years - we get players that sleepwalk until they get shook.

When are they going to start calling VCU for pushing off? They only have so many great looks because of all the thrown elbows!

Post by explorer88 on Jan 25, 2020 12:51:05 GMT -5
We have missed 3 or 4 wide open 3’s that VCU has made.
