Thanks to the squad. You've done more for the university and La Salle community, present, past, and future, than you might ever realize.
Additionally, it's been a pleasure sharing this run with all of you. In all of its up's and down's, you can't deny this has been nothing short of incredible. Can't wait for next season.

Nothing but many thanks to John and the team for a great season. To Ramone and Garvin all the best in the future whereever it may take them. I was there during the 68-69 season and my son was there during the Lionel years. It is great to see LaSalle basketball in the limelight again.

Absolutely tremendous season. I started paying attention when the beat Butler & VCU and it's been a ride since. Couldn't be more grateful for the show I got to watch. Galloway will be missed but I think this team will continue to wow us.

As a young alumni, I finally understand the tradition many of speak of, the tradition of past. I wasn't fortunate to have been around for the glory years of La Salle basketball, the National POY's, etc. My first introduction to the program was hearing about the infamous rape scandal, which lingered until my first days on campus as a freshman. The highlight of my time was the 2008 victory over St Joe's at the Palestra. Other than that, there were few accomplishments. Students liked players because they had fun names, not because we had a chance at winning anything significant for a time. Those were painful years.
But this team bridged that gap, bringing this current generation up to speed with La Salle's incredible basketball tradition. No longer is it something that you read in books, that alums speak of like folk stories, that exist in banners hanging in the Haymen Center. We finally got to live it.
Going to Kansas City was an incredible experience. From watching DJ landshark across the Sprint Center court, to the infamous Southwest Philly Floater, it couldn't have been better. Thanks guys, can't wait until we do it all again next year.

I can't say it any better than everyone else has. It's been the best time I ever had as a La Salle alum/basketball fan going back to the 80's. From Dr. G to the student interns, and especially all the outstanding young men on the team...THANK YOU.

Just met Tyreek Duren's dad in the LAX airport before boarding my red eye home. Real great guy. Told him that I've been watching since around '93, and his son is one of maybe six players I can think of who really changed this program. Can't wait until next season. It's been a great ride.

Just a tremendous thank you to everyone involved for making the 17 years I've followed this program religiously worth every minute.
What they did doesn't make la Salle any better or different than it was 3 months ago, but it draws attention to the great place we all know and love.
I look forward to reminiscing about those "bad ol' days" as I believe this group may have set the ship on a strong heading in a new direction. Much success is coming I believe.
