January 23 at Rose Hill Gym in Bronx, NY
ESPN +
The trio of Isiah Deas, new Scoochie Smith All Star Pookie Powell & Saul Phiri were a combined 11-of-18 from three-point range (LaSalle made 14 threes as a team) and the Explorers led the entire way and as much as 16 in winning 73-71.
LaSalle picked up its first Atlantic 10 win since its league opener January 5 at Massachusetts, while Fordham remained winless at 0-6.
It was also a great night of nonsense from the broadcast team of Mike Watts & Andrew Bogusch:
Bogusch:
[after LaSalle started the game on a 9-0 run] "take a nine-point punch in the face"
"you can't be Villanova at LaSalle, but you can be Villanova light at LaSalle"
"acknowledge that the mini-battle was lost...win the war"
"play 40 big minutes"
Watts:
"[after a 3-pointer got Fordham to within nine points with 12:19 left] "trying to make sure it's not too little too late"
"this is one of those every possession matters moments"
"LaSalle at times last year was pesky good"
"Ed Croswell, the lunch pail guy on this LaSalle team"
