52.6% from 3 Pt. will win you a lot of games. They shot better from 3 than 2. Dunph obviously did work on their shooting after the Dayton game.

Miss conversations with Jellybean on a broad range of topics. Somehow, it always circled back to La Salle basketball.
PS...let's not forget Nostalgic.

52.6% from 3 Pt. will win you a lot of games. They shot better from 3 than 2. Dunph obviously did work on their shooting after the Dayton game. even more incredible, they missed their first four attempts from three (and first seven shots overall) so they were 10-15 from three after that (66.7%). needed all of them with those horrendous refs. i didn't have so much of a problem with the foul calls on la salle, but our guys got hammered numerous times without a call in the second half. glad to see khalil come out of his shooting slump. in the previous four games, he shot 26.7% overall and 18.8% from three. he was missing a lot of mid-range jumpers he typically makes like he did today. he did a nice job of not over-penetrating and giving himself a little more space. despite the slump, he continued to play hard on both ends, never hung his head, and was rewarded. jhamir was incredible, and you can just see tunde continuing to get better. he had a couple nice drives to the hoop and a great assist on a fast break. lets hope this carries over against uri on wednesday. |

Our guys played really well and knocked off a pretty good team.
The combination of GW going into the tank a bit during the first half and La Salle not looking worn out in the second half was nice to see. It was a nice change in that it didn't look like it would take a herculean effort for us to close this one out.
Fasasi stepping up was a nice surprise.

This was a nice road win against an experience GW team. We shot the ball very well today. We was 10\19 (53%)from behind the arc and 30\61 (49%) overall shooting. Our Big Three: Brickus (19 pts and 8 assist), Brantley (20 pts & 8 rebounds) and Fasasi (19 pts and 6 rebounds) carried the team to this victory. Our defense slow down GW offense and on James Bishop (17 pts and 7\17 from the field). My armchair coach player of the game is Fasasi. Fasasi set the tone for us on the offensive side of the ball. We broke our 4 game losing streak and we have URI on Wednesday. Let start our two games winning streak. Let go baby.

Tunde lord have mercy…
Look at this point of the season you might as well give Tunde as much run as possible… No sense giving Shepherd 25-30 mins and Tunde 15-20 mins… Let’s flip flop those minutes…
Tunde’s ceiling is higher and might as well already be there.. he is really shaping into a complete package.. shooting and decision making. For as well as he shot, he had a great game off the ball. Did a lot of little things right.
We aren’t going to shot like that as a team often so good to a get a road win! Let’s keep it going!

The roster needs a reload and improvement.. Outside of Brickus and Tunde, we really need improvement at every position if we plan on being at least an average D1 basketball team.. Thinking NET ranking around 150.. I understand this will make Catholic League and Wood grads mad but you can’t tell me that you believe Shepherd deserves 30 mins per game? As highlighted by others, poor defense and inconsistent effort, not just in the GW game but all season.. Another player that has had a had problem with playing slow.. Paired with notably poor shooting.. Fantastic athleticism but it has been a struggle putting it together from a skill prospective.. 3 offseasons now and we have 27% from perimeter this season (after 26% last year).. Unfortunately, as he has played more, the numbers have regressed. The statistics, sadly, are confirmed by the eye test.. This is one of those tough calls where you wanted it to work and you gave it a good look but you need to put the team in front of the player.. To be clear, I do not believe you show him the door and pull scholly, I hate coaches that do that.. But I do believe you make the proper adjustments to give the team the highest chance to win.. If the player wants to leave then that is up to them.. I think Coach has to have all options on deck this offseason.. |

Historically a 50% 2 point FG rate was considered adequate; 48% EFG isn't far off that.

Shepherd has scored 38 points in the last 5 games while shooting 12-47.
He deserves to have his minutes reduced. If he transfers the needle doesn’t move much for La Salle. He is a role player. He is inconsistent and should be more impactful given his athleticism and overall skills.
Dunphy needs to play those producing and not worry about who may leave.

Let’s keep it going! my god it never ends with you. look a little harder at the numbers. in the last 6 games, tunde is averaging 27.2 minutes per game, and that was with him only playing 13 minutes against st joe's (pa) when he fouled out. i think fran knows what he's doing. and if anyone needs their minutes cut, it's your boy rokas, who continues to drop passes that could lead to scores and miss layups and play matador defense most of the time. if dunph listened to you after the last game, brantley would have had his minutes cut and been told not to shoot the ball. yeah, that's the solution. we'll pull efe and lucas off the bench to replace his production. as far as shepherd goes, like khalil, he's hit a rough patch over the last six games, and yet he still found time to lead the team in rebounding for four of those games. he struggled covering buchanan yesterday but then again, so did everyone else. very little help defense on him by the rest of the team. yeah, let's cut his minutes in half. |

Are you ok? You have had a rough couple of months.. I prefer not to waste engaging with you and your let’s call them “aggressive takes” where you soen more time going after the person than the topic at hand.. You have done this to a few people lately.. Relax.. Maybe take some time away? I have been very clear on numerous occasions this season that Rokas has disappointed and as such his minutes properly been cut from what they were at the start of the season.. But don’t let the facts get in the way with your clear issues.. There was a lot of chatter in the pre-season about Rokas from both the staff and coaches outside of La Salle. He simply hasn’t met them. When you play 30+ mins per game you are going to get rebounds…The ball will find you when you play that much.. And, for the sake of balance, Shepherd has been playing a lot of the 4 of which he really isn’t suited. Unfortunately, he will struggle as a true wing also because he isn’t a skilled perimeter player… As we seen numerous times, in D1 basketball, if you are a guard or small fwd and you can’t shoot you are going struggle.. Tunde has been very inconsistent in the amount of time played this year and it is not the easiest to get a rhythm when that happens.. any player will tell you that… I do wonder what our record would be in Tunde averaged 30 mins and where his progression would be at.. Regardless, of his less playing time, he has simply shown a ceiling that Shepherd has not in 3 years. You can’t honestly state that you have seen Shepherd go off like Tunde did against GW. There has been other moments this season when Tunde hits a step back 3 off the dribble with an incredibly smooth motion. A shooting motion that Shepherd lacks due to a very forced motion which leads to inconsistent release point. The shooting percentages after 3 years and offseasons do not lie. Keep in mind my suggestion still leads to Shepherd to playing half the game which is a good chunk of minutes.. You would need 2 shooters in the backcourt but I would like to see Shepherd some more time at the 3 to at least give him a chance to use his athleticism to his advantage, with another player that is more in line with his height… |

I’m not saying Shepherd is a make or break for this team and if you can replace him, great. But how confident are you in Fran’s ability to bring in someone to replace him AND multiple other players that will move the needle so that La Salle has more wins than losses next season?
This team isn’t very good and taking Shepherd away only results in 1-2 fewer wins but for a team that’s maybe going to win 14-15 games this year, then likely loses Brickus (based on another poster’s speculation) and replaces them with Jones and a upgrade in Tunde means this they’re closer to status quo (at best) than they are to being a better team. If you’re ok with then cool.
I just think they should focus on keeping what little talent they have and bringing in more rather than trying to replace it in a world where EVERYBODY has better facilities and more NIL than we do.

I've been saying that Shepherd (by offensive scheme design) spends too much time in the corner forced to "watch the game". I honestly think Shepherd should be focused on hustle points, cuts, backdoor cuts and put backs. He’s our most athletic and exciting player but he also lacks a jumper. I had hoped he would’ve developed a midrange jumper or floater by now. Having him in the corner or even shooting more than one 3 a game is just not smart (imo). That being said, I don’t see why he can’t be on the floor with Tunde. I don’t see them as either or with playing time. |

I've been saying that Shepherd (by offensive scheme design) spends too much time in the corner forced to "watch the game". what should he be doing? If you put him in the lane he’s going to be in the way and he’s not a post threat. He’s not a good enough dribbler or passer yet to run a complex set through. He’s a corner three guy who can move to the dunker spot if it’s there. |
