@ LaSalle 01/22/2022

[Gallipoli]

LaSalle will be another tough match-up. Our guys come out strong. Look to Burton to find his shot.

 

[SFspidur]

LaSalle will be another tough match-up.

They shouldn't be.

 

[8legs1dream]

I think we could play a local kids YMCA league team and Gal would try to frame it as some epic showdown against tough opposition to have the convenient built in excuse ready to go when we struggle.

 

[Eight Legger]

Wasn't that who we played last night?

 

[urmite]

They shouldn't be.

Except by the Philly Distributive Property...

 

[Gallipoli]

No team in the A10 will be an easy win.

No team in the A10 will be an easy win.

For us, yes, that is very accurate.

 

[SFspidur]

Grant highly likely to play, Dji unlikely.

Good, I want zero excuses for the Mooney defenders. Major injury is the only thing left that they can cling to and that would be fleeting at best because we've already blown our chances.

 

[SpiderGuy]

Here's LaSalle's 1-4 A10 performance to date. Impressive?

12/30/2021	Fordham	L 61-69	Philadelphia, Pa.
1/8/2022	VCU	L 66-85	Philadelphia, Pa.
1/11/2022	St. Bonaventure	L 76-80 (OT)	Philadelphia, Pa.
1/17/2022	at Saint Joseph's	W 75-64	Philadelphia, Pa.

 

[SFspidur]

They beat St. Joe's by double digits, so they must be good.

Saw a specialist which he didn’t see anything pressing and is getting an MRI in the morning. So you guys keep him in your prayers please. Don’t think we have anything to worry about but he’s a little stressed. 🕷🏀

 

[urfan1]

looks to me LaSalle may be trending upward

Did anything change the last 3 games? OT loss to SBU, 2 point loss to URI, decent margin over St Joe...
Before that they were bad not just below average.

 

[SFspidur]

They've been bringing Nickelberry and Ray off the bench and moved Brantley and Doucoure into the starting lineup their last few games...not sure why, but it corresponds to their improved play.

 

[Long Island Spiders]

I’m good as long as Goose gets the start again

 

[Gallipoli]

Goose has won the starting role.

 

[spider fan]

LaSalle 1-4 in conference after 2 point loss to Rhody on Wednesday in Kingston, R.I. where the Explorers scored 19 points in the second half after leading by 8 at halftime. Rhody our next opponent has 8 straight home wins.

 

[SpiderGuy]

Couple points follow:

RTD shows us a a 7 point favorite. Seems like a lot of points.

LaSalle averages 12 offensive rebounds which plays right into one of our weaknesses. Need to box out and be more aggressive on getting rebounds.

 

[Gallipoli]

This will be a tough match-up for the good guys.

 

[ur2K]

red unis. Bet LaSalle if you can.

 

[SFspidur]

VCU game is going to run long.

 

[urmite]

This will be a tough match-up for the good guys.

But will it be a tough match-up for the bad guys?

 

[Long Island Spiders]

VCU game is going to run long.

It’s live on the NBC Sports App

I thought there was no NBC Sports?

 

[SFspidur]

NBCSN the TV network is gone, but the NBC Sports app still exists.

NBCSN the TV network is gone, but the NBC Sports app still exists.

So they didn’t ban all sports coverage from their network?

 

[SFspidur]

Anybody want to stop the guy with the ball?

[SFspidur]

“Jimerson Gibson”…graphics team off to a good start.

 

[Spider2020]

Playing against a big, physical team is not the game for Sherod to get extended minutes. Would prefer Crabtree at the 3 since Burton is in foul trouble

 

[SpiderGuy]

Look at all the offensive rebounds LaS is getting which equates to second chance points. Maybe someone can introduce that part of the game to Mooney. Never too late to learn something new for a coach.

 

[Spider B]

Have to keep them off the offensive glass

 

[Spider2020]

Can’t have Grace, Cayo, and Sherod as our 3 biggest guys out there if we want to rebound. Grace doesn’t rebound. Cayo isn’t especially good at it. Sherod is too small against a team starting 2 centers

 

[wr70beh]

Sal seems to have fallen off a cliff.

 

[Spider2020]

Randolph sighting! Very surprised but happy for him, getting some minutes in his hometown

 

[SpiderRick]

Liked G & G in together, if only briefly

 

[Eight Legger]

Current lineup of Gilly, Golden, Goose, Grace and Randolph. Mooney is just throwing things at the wall right now with no plan lol.

 

[Long Island Spiders]

I really like Goose’s game.
