Anyone know why there was such a lineup shakeup?

No clue why but Nickelberry, Brantley and Brickus and Gill still haven't seen the floor in addition to Shep and Jocius. I'll add that most of these players are wearing the Brother Ed shirt but it looks like Shep, Nickelberry and Jocius are the next subs because they're in jerseys.
Did anything come across over the audio in speculation of what could have happened besides the three game losing streak?

Jocius just checked in at the timeout (for Doucoure)

I'm surprised Davidson is struggling this year. Even though they have a lot of freshman on the roster, they usually find quality players no matter what year they're in.

I can't hear Kale's audio so I do not know for the reason

The TV graphic says we're 8-9 and 2-2 in conference....I guess the last 2 losses don't count...Are they giving mulligans now?

Defense is getting pretty poor. Davidson not even needing to make pass just taking it by people 1v1.
Man for man they are just winning the matchups

Yep def can not hear Kale at all. At least I know it is not just me but my wife can't hear Kale either. Makes for an interesting telecast having Bron talk in half sentences like he is having a conversation with someone else.

We are getting dominated in the low post so we keep our most talented big man on the bench?
Drame twins lost gas around the 8 min mark

3 points in over 7 minutes of game action ain't gonna cut it.

H Drame gets beat off the dribble on one end and then turns it over.. Looks dead and yet no sub or TO. We still have all 4 TOs.
Really wonder what Dunphy is doing.

The lineup issues seem to be academic related. But the early five point lead shows we could do well to get the twins more involved in the offense. And Shepherd was productive in his 30+ minutes game that everyone on here has been clamoring for.
Terrible charge call near the end of the 2nd half, Davidson defender's feet were srill moving. Also, We played inside and they chucked up threes but the fouls were about even, how does that even work? If Fran can't even get home calls, we'll have no chance. Davidson's coach and traveling fans worked the refs mostly all night.
A substantial case of leftover food walked out with the student section. Mad props to the concession management for overreacting to the St. Joe's game debacle.

Just got home from the game. It's hard being a La Salle fan. Without knowing why Dunphy changed the lineup, I believe he's trying to improve the ball movement and spacing by playing Sanchez and to some extent it worked. Nickleberry's lack of productivity has hurt the team and now his minutes. Shepherd and Marrero had good games and may be earning minutes. Maybe the auditions for next season have begun.

Just got home. I loved the lineup change. When we went back to the regulars, we lost the game. Go figure.
Refs were awful against both sides. We got away with a number of push-offs and grabbing fouls, same as they did. It was just bad overall officiating.
Kudos to La Salle for actually having the concessions stand staffed and stocked, and the Video Brother Ed tributes were great. Only weird moment was when the announcer said Allen and Baptiste were presenting a signed ball to Brother Ed's family at center court, and they looked around at each other because no one had the ball. So...a little awkward.

Skipped game, sounds like I made the right decision!
Not only hard being a La Salle fan, even harder caring.

Watched on ESPN. I think, similar to what I am reading here, the ball movement was better without the usual starting guards. It has been my observation the last number of games that when we get down in the second half B&B try to do it all themselves and movement stops. I do not question their skills or desire to win but they need to be smarter.

This was an uninspired game against Davidson today. In my opinion, the team play with no emotion and no urgency. I understand why Coach Fran sat Brantley, Brickus, Nickelberry and Gill. Like the announcer stated, they have to be held accountable for their actions on and off the court. Marrero(10 points 6 rebounds 3 assists), Shepherd(14 points 5 rebounds), Sanchez-Ramos(need more run) and Jocius is future of Lasalle basketball. This is a rebuilding season for us and hopefully we recruit some frontline scorers and shooters. The only good thing is the nice tee-shirt of the late Brother Ed and the game was dedicated to Brother Ed and his family. Let get ready on Saturday against Rhode Island. #GoExplorer

The season-long annoying, embarrassing and amateurish audio problems plaguing all TGA-originated La Salle MBB and WBB home games broadcast on ESPN+ continue. You literally could not hear Kale Beers, the play-by-play announcer, until someone finally told him that his microphone was dead with 7.4 minutes remaining in the second half, at which point Kale apparently switched microphones with his color commentator Bron Holland, who then became the one who could not be heard.

positives were Shepherd, Marreo, and Sanchez for most of his time. Again, another game that was winnable for us.
The officiating was very bad at pivotal moments, and I wasn’t sure why we didn’t at least try to double Mennenga.

Our record was wrong on the ESPN+ score bug too, but it was better than it actually is, so I guess that's OK. (It was missing our last 2 games/losses prior to last night). |

A couple of nuggets from me. It would have been nice to know that 4 of our players were out for the first half before I put $100 on La Salle +5.5. Wish someone on the board would've given a heads up on that. However, the starters out played the regulars that were out for discipline, so no harm, no foul. The former coach in me loves that Dunph doled out discipline and it was spoken about publicly, but not elaborated on. Lets everybody know that the players aren't doing their duties off the court, but keeps it in house so it's over and done with. I love accountability. We are 8-12, we can lose with you or lose without you. Great message
Maybe this isn't the right thread for this, but if we're not going to recruit shooters or scorers, I will settle for big men with great hands, and super quick guards, a la Ty Garland, De'Aaron Fox type guards that very few defenders can stay in front of. Since G left, and really since 2014, I have no clue with what we're doing in terms of building a team and what style of ball we want to play.
This goes back to the Transfer U days of G, but it has continued over 3 head coaches now. G fell in love with Cleon and Jordan, and just took every transfer, I have no clue how Ash was trying to build a team, and I don't know what Dunph is trying to do. In the absence of shooters, give me jet like guards and bigs with great hands.

Watched game, another winnable game against a slightly not as bad Atlantic-10 team!
Nickelberry's regression really has me stumped, very curious to know why.
Wonder if he's hurt ?
