Reserves/starters averaging double figure minutes:

Roster: https://goexplorers.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster
Team Stats:
La Salle averages 66.3 points per game (last in the A10) while giving up 71.5 (9th in the A10).
The Explorers shoot 42.0% from the floor (13th in the A10) and 29.5% from 3 (13th in the A10).
Opponents are shooting 44.3% from the field and 37.0% from 3.
The Explorers shoot 73.5% from the free throw line (7th in the A10).
They have out rebounded opponents by 4.6 boards per game and average 14.0 turnovers per contest.
Stats: https://goexplorers.com/sports/mens-basketball/stats
Thoughts: They will be coming off a 10 day break between games and a 52 point loss at #2 Michigan. Jaeden Marshall was the only Explorer to score in double figures against the Wolverines with 15 points.
12 guys have started this year for new coach Darris Nichols, he must be searching for answers. Freshman guard Ashton Walker has impressed so far and leads La Salle with 11 starts. Leading scorer Jaeden Marshall also leads the team in 3’s with 21 made on the year.
A win on the road in the A10 is never easy, but it sure it would be nice to get off on the right foot and grab a W at Glaser Arena. Shut down or limit Marshall and our chances improve.
