Massey makes La Salle a 9 point favorite over HC (74-65) - no shock there - and gives them an 82% chance for the win. La Salle is currently 2-4 coming off tough losses by big scores to Villanova and Temple. No further comment needed.

La Salle is currently 2-4 coming off tough losses by big scores to Villanova and Temple. No further comment needed. A couple of two win teams. Anything can happen. HC ready for a breakout. Let's conquer Philly this weekend.

The Explorers might be worse shooters than HC - For the season their fg pct is .364 and they've shot 25 pct in each of their last two losses to 'Nova and Temple (albeit high competition)

There was some barely coherent post in the football game thread that implied Nelson was back?
Like I said, barely coherent or maybe that's me that's barely coherent!

I mentioned him incoherently saying he was in town (for LaSalle) and could design plays for the second half but forgot he's home with Covid. Hope he is feeling better.

Wouldn't have been the first time someone got bogus results on a Covid test or two and got cleared earlier than usual. Thanks.

Stay away from rapid tests they give too many false readings
My guess is all at HC receive PCR which are far more accurate

I'm wondering if this will be the first game in basketball history between teams that have had games with ONE assist in the same season (they apparently pulled that off against Villanova). My goodness, their board is like a carbon copy of this one: explorertown.proboards.com/board/1/explorer-mens-basketball-talkGeez, maybe the entire crowd from today's game should get together afterwards for a couple of pops to commiserate.

Oh my, these are our kind of people. There’s a thread where someone is worried that players are just working on highlight reel plays to get ready to transfer.

So, you mean we have a chance of getting our first D-1 win this season? Maybe? Possibly?

I looked at it yesterday and thought the same on the carbon copy front. Not much optimism over there.

I think La Salle made a mistake when they fired John Giannini, who had overacheived there for years, to bring in Ashley Howard, a Villanova assistant with no head coaching experience. La Salle has lousy facilities, a lousy track record in recent years, and an underwhelming campus. Also they are in terrible financial shape and may not exist in a decade. Tough place to recruit. As he did at Maine, Giannini overachieved. during his La Salle tenure Their Pomeroy rankings under Giannini, starting in 2008, were: 147 196, 160, 172, 62 50 105 103 267 140 156 There are very few coaches who could do better at La Salle. In contrast, Howard's rankings thus far, starting in 2019, are: 228 181 200 243 It's a bit different, but I always think of Tennessee and its fans pushing long-time head football coach Phil Fulmer out the door because he only averaged nine wins a year and rarely won the SEC. Since his departure in 2008, they have hired six head coaches, all of whom did significantly worse than Fulmer. No sense of reality. A decade later, Fulmer returned as the AD but hasn't been able to find a head coach as good as he was.
