Nice early season A-10 test for both. I don't believe LaSalle has won at Cintas, although can't swear to that. Do remember getting taken to the woodshed by Donnie Carr and friends at the Cincinnati Gardens not too long ago.

I'm worried about bus lag.

La Salle won at Cintas in the 2005-2006 season. However, since then it has not been very friendly to my Explorers.

I think I have been to all but three games ever at Cintas, I am getting old, and I forget a few. ALthough not too many A-10 home losses

That was the game where Brian Thornton had a season-ending injury back in 2006. About as close as you could get to a morgue in Cintas.

Xavier has won 49 of its last 50 home games vs conference opponent. That is one of the more impressive facts i have seen lately. With that in mind this will be an extremely difficult game for lasalle. The interesting matchup will be how much pressure the lasalle guards can semaj and if they can force him to turn the ball over. I believe that lasalle's style of play could cause problems and possibly help them eke out a win which they will need with there difficult stretch coming up. If they can force 20 plus turnovers like they did against dayton I wouldnt be surprised if they come out on top.

Bonnies scored 2 pts on 6 x to's. not saying Semaj doesn't turn the ball over, but you have to catch up to him first.

No doubt. Im not saying it will be easy, but it is the thing the explorers must do. Sam Mills is a terrific defender and Ramon Galloway is one of the most explosive and quick players in the league. I am extremely impressed by everything I have seen out of Semaj. If he controls the ball, X will control the tempo and should win.

This could be a great game for Jerrell Wright; he has played with more confidence recently. I think the Explorer defensive will force quite a few turnovers. Explorers by 7 in this one.

I don't get why all the money's been on La Salle. The line has gone from Xavier -2 to La Salle -2.

AdamtheFlyer · 01-19-2013, 11:11 AM

Any stream for this game?

Because maybe La Salle is the better team this year?

15-6 first media timeout...

La Salle showing the superior guard ability early
