LaSalle won its first Big 5 game in over 4 years Saturday with a win against the Temple Owls. The Explorer seniors (Steve Smith and Jermaine Thomas) really stepped up as LaSalle won 62-56. Smith had 21 points and only one turnover in the victory.
Do we even dare say that the Explorers could get an NIT bid ths year ? Presently at 12-7, LaSalle could conservatively be 16-11 heading into the Atlantic 10 tournament. If they win their prelim. game, they could finish 17-12 for the year.
Who knows, maybe even 18-11 ??? That should insure an NIT bid for the John Giannini led Explorers.
It would be the 1st post season bid for LaSalle in 13 years !
