I'm excited about today, which generally portends disaster. Chance to avenge the game from a few weeks ago. We've had a week off since hammering Fordham last Saturday.
Game is on NBC Sports Network. Fight On Explorers!

Weirdly, the TV feed said Ashley Howard is in his 2nd year as head coach under his name.

The team has drawn a lot of fouls on UMass, but they're cold as ice right now.

Defense is solid. Have to make these layups and stop throwing the ball away.

Bouncing between our game, the Sixers and NFL. My hot take so far, lots of fresh haircuts for the Explorers.

Mitchell is having his way even when double teamed

Right now La Salle's D can't keep up with UMass. They're moving the ball really well and finding the open man.

I don’t get why Clifton is out and we have our smallest guys on the court fronting Mitchell?

We look lost.
WTF is the strategy of fronting Mitchell with a small guard and behind him with a small wing. Stupid strategy.
I like fronting him but you need a big behind him.
Make UMASS beat us without Mitchell. If we lose then so be it. If you let Mitchell post small guards and wings we will get blown out.

Moore is having a horrible stretch here. He should be dominating with Mitchell out

Bad shots and UMass getting to the rim at will.
Bad La Salle showed up today.

UMass is more athletic than us.
Shepard will help us with that but Ash needs to upgrade our athleticism. .

Can we get this to 10 points by halftime. That would be a major score for us to have any chance.

would be nice to shrink their lead to single digits before the half ends. right now it seems like Brickus is the only guy who can score.

Horrible lazy turnover on the rebound to give UMass the dunk

“What does a team do if they rely on the perimeter and aren’t making shots?”

This is an awful 1st half. Better team who executed better.
We still have a long way to go. Part of it is we just played a horrible half but UMass deserves a lot of credit for that.

A lot of guys coming up very small this first half. second half will be a gut check.
