I'm going to the game today, so putting this up early. Needs to be a win today.

Hard game to figure. Looks like both teams will be playing four guards most of the game. That should be to La Salle's advantage but you never know. Personally, I want to see Zack and Wright have their way. If they get 25 points and 22 rebounds we should have a pretty nice Saturday. Also would like to see Sam and DJ break out of their slumps and combine for 4 threes.
La Salle 74 Richmond 68

Wish I could make it but I'm like the monkey from Outbreak right now. I'll be watching from the comfort of my mansion.

Nice crowd on the alum side. Little sparse on the student side. DJ starting for Zack?

Two fouls early on Ramon.

Man, I hate ripping on refs but Ramon got called for a push-off and the Richmond center just hooked Jerrell twice on one drive. He dribbled off his foot but seriously.

12-10 good guys. We're finally starting to get some whistles. Zack's looking good coming off the bench.
We've seriously gotten hosed on two possessions so far though.

We are missing good looks from deep again. Richmond's made some tough fadeaway jumpers. I can't complain if we're taking good shots and they're taking bad shots.

Jerrell's playing really well, too. He's made one shot but a lot of good rebounds and good defense.

Three offensive fouls on Ramon. Same official all three times. You've got to be kidding me.

We missed a layup off a steal and Tyreek got MUGGED. Sam Mills is coming alive though.

We are so selfish on the fast break. Give the ball up

Zack = instant offense off the bench!

Zack's playing great on both ends of the court. We're really looking to get him the ball as the first option right now. We haven't taken a jumper in a while.
There's a lot of nice action we're doing today on offense. Richmond's made some tough shots to hang in there. They're a really good jump shooting team.

And now we're trailing?

Three point lead at half time. That was pretty much the fastest half of basketball I can remember.
We're up three with Ramon essentially benched for the first half. We'd be up more but we probably had -- no joke -- six shots from right at close range that didn't fall. Like, they rolled around the rim for minutes without falling.

Halftime Explos up 33-30. Got to chat with Comm Dept guru Bro. Gerry Molyneaux. He's still the man!

Long lines @ the concession stand. Seems to me the staff @ Gola is not prepared for a pretty decent crowd today.

If our O was clicking better we could certainly be up by 10. Missed shots continue to hamper us. Have to love the way the O fed Zack and took advantage of mismatches with him. Richmond is disciplined, well coached. If our shots don't begin to fall this could go down to the wire.

GREAT start to the half. Our bigs are really bringing it today. Jerrell is playing great.

If we open up 0-2 against these two teams you may as well cancel the remainder of the season because at halftime of today's R.I. game against Charlotte the Rams are winning. I don't have a good feeling about this game and I hope I am wrong which thankfully I usually am.

This game shows how good we can look when the opponent is not significantly bigger than us. Our guards are quicker and better on defense. Still 41-34 @ 15:51.

I love Sam Mills but i am beginning to think he should shoot 1 time and 1 time only- during practice.

Richmond might not always have the most talent but I think they're the consistently the best coached team in the A-10. They never break from their system.
I think whenever they see a zone they have to put Garland on the court. No one can stop him on the baseline.

Mills is cold as ice.
