We beat LaSalle the first time we played this season 75 - 42. The Explorers shot just
18 - 69 from the floor and 3 - 23 from 3. It was a bricklayers convention to say the least.

Stats: https://goexplorers.com/documents/2021/2/24/20_21_La_Salle_Season_Stats_23.pdf
LaSalle has ten players who average between 4.0 and 10.3 points per game. Their starting lineup has been a revolving door all season with 9 guys who have started at least 4 games and no one who has started all 23. Ten guys have averaged double digit minutes in the games they have played in.
LaSalle averages 68.8 points per game while giving up 72.9. The Explorers shoot 43.9% from the floor and 34.6% from 3. Opponents are shooting 45.3% from the field and 31.9% from 3. The Explorers shoot 68.7% from the free throw line. They have been out rebounded by 2.7 boards per game and commit 14.5 turnovers per contest.
The game is on NBCSN.
My prediction: We absolutely destroyed them first time out. They have surprising wins against Richmond and St. Louis since then but also have bad losses against the likes of Fordham. They crushed Duquesne last night by 20. If they have a hot night shooting they can beat us. So, who the hell knows? Mason by 5 in a game much closer than the one in January.
