[BMoreX]

69-61

I think La Salle is going dancin'

I thought that before the year started, but then changed my mind after being underwhelmed with how they played early on.

They are so much better now than they were a week ago. Wow. They really looked good. At one point at the end of the first half, and the beginning of the second half, VCU went on a 19-1 run. La Salle came out of the timeout, regrouped, and got the lead back. They led the rest of the way.

Great win for La Salle.

seems the loss to XU was one big wake-up call for the Explorers; Dr. John is not such a dolt to let that game not serve as a reminder to his team of what it takes to win against better teams; VCU style is constant on the ball pressure which does not match LaSalle's spread the floor/dribble drive/multi-guard schemes

La Salle has the talent to go to the NCAAs, but do they have the consistency?

At the very least, the stars are aligned for them to win the Big 5 for the first time since Lionel Simmons.
