Unreal. Why lasalle kept shooting 3s is beyond me but wow. Great finish.

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 9 years ago

Yeah LaSalle blew that chucking up 3's with the lead. Horrible finish for them.

Wayne · Unread post by **Wayne** » 9 years ago

Wow... was following the gamecast for Davidson/La Salle. Looks like La Salle was scoreless in the last 4:45 of this one, and had a 10 point lead at about that mark.

Incredible.

Wright never took a shot in the last quarter of the game.
I'm going to puke.
I HATE Davidson.
Kolonoskopy did the same kind of 3 point basket-foul shot that
he did against us.
McKilop is the new Tan-o-rama Tom.

adam914 · Unread post by **adam914** » 9 years ago

The refs did bail them out a couple times leading up to that point though. I hope we get the same respect as the better seed.

RF1 · Unread post by **RF1** » 9 years ago

Choke job by LaSalle. Explorers went up by 10 (64-54) with 6:34 left. Outscored the rest of the way 11-2 with the Wildcats hitting three 3-pt shots. LaSalle for some reason attempted and then missed four 3pt shots in that span.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

I love Giannini yelling at the refs, "You're protecting the one seed!"
As a paisano, I love his passion.
Yeah, I don't get all the 3 tries by Lasalle, when Lasalle killed
them inside all day.

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 9 years ago

At least Davidson was tested and had to work hard for the win. That should take some air out of their sails.

scine20 · Unread post by **scine20** » 9 years ago

I am happy that Davidson won. It'll only help URI's RPI if they do lose to them in the finals.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

You're kidding, right?
RPI means nothing right now. That ship has sailed after the
Davidson game.
We win it all or we go to the NIT.

I'm trying to be optimistic. A lot of teams are losing early in their conference tournaments. Illinois, Miami, Mississippi, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Old Dominion. Somebody has to get in. I don't think it's impossible (I know I said I did earlier this week) if URI gets to the finals, loses and still gets in.

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 9 years ago

La Salle almost knocked Davidson out! That was almost huge! Damnit!

URI_IEP · Unread post by **URI_IEP** » 9 years ago

Personally, I'd love for URI to have the chance to face Davidson again. I'd live with the loss during the regular season if we beat them in the finals

theblueram · Unread post by **theblueram** » 9 years ago

5 minutes in and VCU and Richmond in an offensive delight. Tied at 2-2.

luke · Unread post by **luke** » 9 years ago

Did anyone else notice that as Davidson's final shot was going through the basket a Davidson player swiped at the net and had his hand in the net before the ball dropped through? That actually should have been called basket interference and the basket should have been disallowed by rule. and it doesn't matter if it iis intentional or accidental. and with the ball sitting on the rim, the swipe of the net could have affected the action of the ball. I was surprised that the announcers didn't even mention it. The officials really helped out Davidson the last few minutes. I don't believe Davidson had clear possession when they were given the timeout after the Gibbs missed free throw. That extra possession saved Davidson and was very costly for Lasalle.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Luke is 100% correct, but those refs weren't making
that call, after they helped Davidson win.
The phantom jump ball was a killer.
I like the color guy. Too bad we get the team that does little
to no research, lead by Ben Howland.
We'll hear tons of EC Matthews NBA stuff and not much else.

bressler3south · Unread post by **bressler3south** » 9 years ago

If I weren't a URI fan I dunno if I'd be an A-10 fan. Generally, offensively challenged…..Then again, I have a tough time watching even "the elite schools," because they are generally excruciating to watch.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

It's exactly why attendance is down everywhere.
Boring, low scoring sumo wrestling matches.
The old BE started that style, and everyone followed.

PeterRamTime · Unread post by **PeterRamTime** » 9 years ago

Yeah Ben Howland is a joke. I dont see how he's a coach.

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Ben Howland was a very good coach, for N. Arizona, Pitt, and UCLA.
He's been to ten NCAAs and two NITs
Two Sweet 16s Three Final Fours including a
Championship game.
Seven seasons over 25 wins. Three 30 win seasons.
Oh, and TWENTY TWO NBA players.
399 wins and a 68.7% winning percentage.
One HELL of a coach!

Iggy1979 · Unread post by **Iggy1979** » 9 years ago

Price needed to hit a shit in the last few minutes . Instead he was 1-8 on the game

Iggy1979 · Unread post by **Iggy1979** » 9 years ago

I hope the Kendal Anthony haters are watching the Richmond-VCU game

rodfromcranston · Unread post by **rodfromcranston** » 9 years ago

Iggy, how would Price hit a shit, if he was playing or
on the bench?
He's have to go back into the lockerrom bathroom to do that.

Yeah who wants a guy who puts up lines like this anyways :

26 Points, 12-16 FG 6 Assists, 4 Reb, 4 Stl, 2 To

Richmond shot freaking 57% and still managed to lose!

Obadiah · Unread post by **Obadiah** » 9 years ago

Some terrific three point shooting so far in this tournament especially this afternoon's games.

Billyboy78 · Unread post by **Billyboy78** » 9 years ago

Anthony had a tough last couple of minutes though, with the miss on the front end of the 1 and 1 and the slip on the drive to the basket. But I think he's a very good player.

Two Richmond players slipped on that end of the floor in the closing minutes of play......this concerns me for tonight....

....I know Rod doesn't really care about the other teams in the A-10 but Richmond needed to win to try to get that extra bid to the NCAA's....

No fouls on that last possession. The Brown Indian got all the way to the basket and lost the ball all by himself.

I have a feeling we're about to see a 4th.

Let's just hope we're on the right side of it at the end.

Let's find a hero if we need one. We're due.
