They played GW tonight, stats not up to date yet. I will clarify in the morning.
LaSalle is currently 6-13 on the season and 1-8 in A10 play. They are 5-6 at home, 1-6 on the road, and 0-1 at neutral sites.
History: Including tournament play GMU is 7-2 against the Explorers while a member of the A10.
Wins: Albany, Army, Holy Cross, Fairleigh Dickinson, Penn, St. Joe’s,
Losses: Sacred Heart, Delaware, Villanova, Temple, Bucknell, Fordham, vcu, St. Bonaventure, Rhode Island, Richmond, UMass, Davidson, GW
Canceled/Postponed: Drexel,
Schedule: https://goexplorers.com/sports/mens-basketball/schedule
Roster: https://goexplorers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster
Stats: https://goexplorers.com/sports/mens-basketball/stats
LaSalle is led by 6’10” Clifton Moore (12.4 ppg & 6.6 reb), 6’4” Josh Nickelberry (12.1 ppg), and 6’8” Jack Clark (10.4 ppg & 5.3 reb). Others contributing are 5’11’ Jhamir Brickus (8.4 ppg), 6’1” Khalil Brantley (7.6 ppg) and 6’4” Anwar Gill (5.1 ppg). Nine different Explorers have started this year and 11 guys average 9+ minutes per game. To say that their line-up and rotations have been a work in progress is pretty accurate.
LaSalle averages 68.5 points per game while giving up 71.4. The Explorers shoot 41.2% from the floor and 31.2% from 3. Opponents are shooting 42.8% from the field and 34.2% from 3. The Explorers shoot 70.0% from the free throw line. They have out rebounded opponents by 1.9 boards per game. They average 13.6 turnovers per contest.
The game is on ESPN+.
My prediction: I will not take the Explorers lightly. 3 OT losses and several other close calls leads me to believe they are a worthy opponent. That being said, it’s going to be a tough week with 4 games in 7 days. We can’t look ahead to Richmond and vcu. Our focus needs to be with LaSalle. Our leadership comes through in a game closer than some might expect. GMU 76 - LaSalle 72.
