Tomorrow afternoon in the Palestra. La Salle seems to be significantly improved from last year, with a record of 8-3. They were 2-10 at the same point last year. They don't have any big wins, but also have no bad losses (only Villanova, Temple, and Penn).

Kenpom has them at 152 which is solid.
I plan to go with my sons, any excuse to go to the Palestra for a game!

I was really looking forward to seeing this game at the Palestra...I’ve never been. However it appears it will not work out as we are seeing friends we haven’t seen in a while. I suppose we could’ve juggled some things but to be honest, until this team does something to change things, I’m just not as excited to watch them play this season. And this seems to be a very difficult game for the Bison (but to be honest, they will all be difficult this season.) I hope they play their best game of the season and pull one out, but alas we will not be there.

I couldn't resist the allure of the Palestra, but have to admit the 2 days of eating and drinking in Philly without the kids have moved way up in the ranking of what I'm looking forward to this weekend over the past month. Still hopeful the boys have a surprise in store for tomorrow.
Also still puzzled why Spear got zero run against Siena while we were getting torn up inside. Unreported injury? Discipline issue? Just seems strange Big Timms gets a shot before him.

Good to see BRW at the Palestra. Class of '89!

9 turnovers in 13 minutes. The Breakin’ Bison look like the Broken Bison.

ESPN+ experiencing technical difficulties. Wouldn’t you know it!
Good time to ask why is Spear in the doghouse.

I wish this team would begin showing something that would instill hope for consistent improvement. Every game seems the same as the last. Poor shooting, stretches of terrible defense, turnovers, allowing opposition big runs...

An inept defense coupled with a poorly-designed offensive scheme and a ton of turnovers. Not a recipe for success.

Seen this movie before. We will make a run in the second half. Get within 4 or 6, fall short, lose by 15. Hope they prove me wrong.

I find it amazing that when a team is in your pants this close we can’t get a backdoor layup. I find it more amazing that we don’t even seem to try or care that we don’t try. What is the point of putting in WE? He stands almost off the court, accepts a pass and as soon as he catches it skips it back to someone else immediately. That was his third drive of the year! It’s not for defense clearly.

To me, Ellis is one-dimensional. He is supposed to be able to shoot the 3, but he hasn’t really been doing that. He apparently has little ability to drive the ball or create space for himself. He also doesn’t appear to be very good on defense. But there seems to be many holes in this roster. There is quite a bit of experience in the top 7-8 players yet improvement is just not there.

No halftime adjustments. Same old, same old. LaSalle fights through just about every pick. We switch and have mismatches.
I hate to say this, but 1. They have more talent, and 2. They hustle more. Overall, LaSalle is making things happen, and the Bison are looking for things to happen.
Is this a poorly coached team?

Ok, so forget the part about us making a run.

It was 46-23 in the SECOND half. When exactly did it get close to respectable?
We’re shooting 18-18 from the line
