I wish Khalil would stop trying to win this game by himself. Neither Rokas or Ryan match up with St. Joe's size. I understand that Rokas may be playing hurt but he's got to go up stronger and dunk the ball. Gets way too many shots blocked

We just can't compete with their size, speed, or shooting accuracy. Only a clown (that's you) would give up at the half and even worse say something completely stupid like "treat the game like a scrimmage". Do you realize just how idiotic that comment is? Of course not, because you're a fool and a clown. |

Our lack of size and athleticism continue to haunt us especially when we shoot poorly. this says it for me |

Ooof. 20 points. Worst loss for us of the season to a team not named Duke.

The team is so far away. Saw this tweet:
But I don’t think this is going to do it. Cannot compete at this level as currently constructed. The American transfer portal isn’t going to have a game changing player IMO.
I have a lot of words to say about 1-3-5 year direction but quibbling over little things is missing the forest from the trees. La Salle will never have the players to play the way the coach wants them to play and the conference demands. Thats my current worry.

La Salle has had a winning conference record just 4 times in 28 years in the A10, and barring a miracle, that will jump to 29.
We aren't just 1 player away. We aren't getting a decent center from the transfer portal. We simply don't belong in the A10 for men's basketball.

We never capitalized on it. Maybe some math wiz can calculate what our cumulative conference record has been since we have been in the A-10. I am losing interest. |

And I’m not going to say it’s definitely a conference change, but La Salle will never be able to play ‘normal’ basketball in the A10 and win. And it’s no knock on the players. Individually, a lot of them are good, A10 quality players. I’m not gonna harp on this now. It’s a March discussion. |

What is our Director of Athletics doing to improve the horrible condition of our great legacy of the MBB team?
I've heard him speak. Follow-up has been limited. How much time does the program have?

What do you expect him to do? The continuous accusations that the athletic directors don’t do enough is gross. There’s been one athletic director in the last 25 years you could say that about.

Talking about dropping down conferences after a 20 point loss to St Joe's is particularly ill timed I think. I understand the anger and frustration but it's salty, stinky. Saving for another time sure appeals to me. |

La Salle will never have the players to play the way the coach wants them to play and the conference demands. Thats my current worry. Agreed we need to improve every position. If we are being honest, Coach has had 2 pretty bad recruiting cycles. 1 recruiting period you can give him some slack but recruits are also committing so much later do to transfer portal. As explorer88 have mentioned a ton of dead space on roster. And still there is no team structure.. A lot of star ball.. I saw Brantley get a long rebound and dribble it 60 feet and try to finish on 3 StJ defenders. So out of control, his attempt didn’t touch the rim.. StJ came back and made 2 nice passes and got a nice corner 3 point attempt. They missed but a perfect example of differing discipline among the team’s. Defense still very poor both front and back court. Rokas only played 11 mins. Again, I have said this before, we don’t have roster to go small ball.. Today is another example. Wholesale changes needed to roster. On that note, he didn’t have a game to his standard but need Brickus to stay. If he isn’t on we just have little chance in winning. |

I don’t understand having this discussion now. If Brantley plays half his game on Saturday we win that game and sitting at 2-2 in conference.
I won’t argue we are at a disadvantage financially in the A-10 but we would be at a disadvantage in the MAAC as well.
The Bonnie’s are not so financially ahead of La Salle but are always competing in the A-10.
Truth is La Salle is its own worse enemy. Held on to Speedy too long and we go into a rape scandal that takes years to recover from. G was a solid hire but we follow up with a horrendous hire in Howard. All the while did nothing for years to upgrade facilities. We hire a terrific Hall of Fame coach but suspect recruiter especially within the parameters of recruiting here.
For me, We should give a couple of years with a renovated facility and Dunphy before making any decisons. Also , need to upgrade Dunphy’s assistant coaches. He needs recruiters working for him.

Through 5 A10 games, we have been outscored 387-335. Our 4 losses have been by an average of 14.25. That's not competing or showing a commitment to belonging in the league. We didn't show up to play against a local rival. |

At some point the administration is going to have to determine if the financial resources exist to truly upgrade the program. Will we be able to compete in the NIL world for the players we need to compete in the A 10. Is there a point to playing in a conference where every team is bigger and more athletic at just about every position. Some important decisions lie ahead.

I for sure don't fault the coaches in this. I still blame the senseless decisions by the past president to oversee radical changes that were supposed to make us more nimble, but only ensure we keep losing instead. |

This was the worst blowout against St. Joe’s in a long time. Too many jump shots and no driving to the bucket. Our frontline (Zan, Shepherd and Jocius) combined for 13 pts and 7 rebounds and St. Joe’s big (Fleming and Essandoko) combined for 26 pts and 16 rebounds. The bottom line is that if we don’t shoot well from the field, we are in trouble. We need to recruit talented physical big men from the portal or JUCO. We can compete in the A10 with the right players. I hope Jocius sleep and eat the weight room in the offseason. Jocius is 6’10 weight around 240 or 250 playing soft most the time. Since Gill out the lineup with the injury, we not the same team earlier in the year. Well we have a whole week to get ready for DeRon Holmes and the Dayton Flyers. Let go baby.
