Winning this tournament is one of the biggest wins for this program in a long time.
Congrats to Ash, Ed on winning MVP and the entire team and staff.

Seriously, we were on the winning end of a blowout, had a lead evaporate in about 5 minutes, were down double digits and looked as if we were going to get run off the floor, only to come back and really grab control off the game in OT.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Three days does not really feel like a break. Can't get a break on stubhub either but Kale did mention some alumni tickets, limited, are still available.

It's a great win. Even if it doesn't end up "meaning" anything for going forward. It was really fun, and showed a lot in the way the team battled back and pulled ahead again, then got past again, then tied it up. And they were down the first few minutes of OT as well.

FINAL La Salle- 81 South Alabama- 76 .....honestly I'm so impressed with tonight. They blew a big lead, went into a prolonged funk and ended up down by what, like 12? And they STILL come back and win in OT. That was great. ...................oh yeah, more like South alaBADma, an I right? \ Wrong State was easy. this is a stretch I'm going for groans, eye rolls, or even a "Jesus Christ, that's terrible" with these.

By the way. It’s safe to say the team and program took a step forward this weekend. Trick now is to take another one.

Wow. What a ride. This was awesome
Really pumped to see the players rallying together and with Coac thru some wild swings
Really like the mix of youth and experience especially shaggy, Saul and kenney today. Look for more and different experiences in the future.
Ed - The heart of a lion
Ps. The ot allowed me to see +5 of my favorite team but how do you do a 3+2 on a continuation call? Is it an Estero thang?
Have fun home but get ready to represent on Sunday!
Happy Thanksgiving to all especially those I have seen like Kale and Christine giving it their all in support of the squad

Have not left couch and watched every second on the computer. Such a tremendous character win for this young squad. The fact that we won the last 2 games in such dramatic fashion will serve as a launching point for this team. We defeated two teams that very well could win their conference championships this year and be playing in March. What’s amazing is the fact that we can play so much better than we did. We will have to play better to compete against some of the squads on our schedule. The A10 is loaded this year. . Dayton/VCU/St. Louis/ GM/Richmond/Davidson - it is a multi bid league this year. To be honest - I am not sure we can even compete with some of those teams ( I am going into what I call “deep protect”) We have Dayton and VCU at home I believe. Let’s get Gola rocking again ! Lets take care of the basketball and cut down on turnovers and get quality possessions. Can we do this ?? I am in awe that we came back tonight after squandering such a big lead - I believe we were down 9 at one point. It says a lot about our coach/players. Ash is bringing a winning culture to Broad and Olney. It will be fun to see how we improve throughout the year. If anyone watched the Wright State game - a coach was providing commentary during the game and I believe he commented on the loaded A10 and said he felt we could shock in March if we progressed (Perhaps Dolphins2’s ears hears what it wants to). Next up NOVA —— Can we shock NOVA to continue this run ?? After what SFA did to Duke you would like to think so - we will see. Let’s enjoy this stretch and I can say with certainty that the future is bright for La Salle basketball. Happy Thanksgiving to all D2 avoiding bubble talk - —— —- for now .......

A 5 point play ?? Was an explanation ever given? I assume it’s legitimate as we didn’t argue We survived a 4 point play and a 5 point play. Wow !!!

Let’s enjoy this stretch and I can say with certainty that the future is bright for La Salle basketball. Happy Thanksgiving to all D2 avoiding bubble talk - —— —- for now ....... Dolphin alert!!! Actually, it says it all right here without getting too far fetched. I agree with everything here. Especially about the A10. This tournament win goes a long way in incorporating a winning attitude, and giving the team the experience of big wins, and how good it feels to bust your hump for 115 minutes, and the results that come from it. (I omitted the 10 minute lag last night. Cannot allow that to happen regardless of your opponent, and how much your up by) Ash did a super job of providing big game experience with most of the team during the past 3 games. Didn't just stick with 6 or 7 guys. Everyone played and contributed. This will pay off as the season progresses. Great to be closing out November, with my mindset "Hey, this team is pretty damn good". Positive things to look forward to this year. Just need to build from this, and give NOVA a game, and fight on!

Legit question: is this the first time we’ve won a tournament with 3+ games since the 1992 MAAC Tournament?

Congrats to Ash and the Boys. That was a hell of a 3-day performance. Great for the team to get the taste of winning and a feather in Howard's cap. Let's keep it going!

Pretty wild that we’re the first program to *ever* win the triple crown of college basketball (NCAA tournament, NIT, Gulf Coast Showcase) and it’s barely registering nationally.
