Why is LaSalle taking Gola's name off their gym? Kind of like removing Babe Ruth's plaque from the Yankee Stadium momument park, no?

Lasalle trying to hand us a game that we are refusing to take.

Bishiop 1-9, Edwards 2-6.

Shittty rebounders. Rebounding is desire and effort. Really

Man, that stretch just epitomized our season. Stretch tips a defensive rebound and everyone for GW just stands there watching while Sheppard actually hustles to the loose ball for a put back. Then Bishop misses a wild drive to the basket, we tip out the rebound, but then have to settle for a (badly missed) Max prayer at the buzzer. Then LaSalle comes back down and misses but we don’t secure the defensive rebound three times in a row. Thankfully Lasalle couldn’t score on the 4th try.

Lasalle with like a 5 minute possession and still doesn't score.

Late whistle is good. Refs are crap

So far, can't really complain about being up seven at half. Defense has been very solid besides those two picky fouls Antoine. Two fouls on Brickus is big. They've got to continue crashing the defensive glass and limit those second-chance opportunities. Let's get JB some cleaner looks and win this one.

P.S. The band sounds great on the broadcast.

Imagine the vitriol and angst on the LaSalle board after that half.
Has GW ever played worse and come away with a 7-point lead?

**Posted by Long Suffering Fan** 3/12/2024 2:21 pm

Up 30-23 at the half, without looking that good.

Don’t confuse Mr Negative with the facts.

WTF Buchanan. Drive and make the layup or don't give the other team time to get it down the other end. Brainfart.

All I saw was all of the offensive rebounds we gave up after we had the ball in our hands. 4 as someone said.

Why is the A10's halftime show coming from a basement cubicle in DC instead of from the event site in Brooklyn? How much is the Acela for two more people (camera and on-air talent)?

Not enough people bought all-session passes

Our rebounding numbers were padded by Lasalle shooting only 25 percent from the field. Explorers seemed more aggressive on the boards those final 5 minutes or so.

There are people who paid money to be at this game? I thought they just padded the crowd with folks who would otherwise go to a soup kitchen.

8 rebounds, 0 fouls at the half for stretch. Hope Buchanan comes alive this half.

Not really. In raw terms, we are getting 30% of of our offensive boards, they are getting 25% of theirs.
