Explorers Fall To Minutemen

2/8/2015

1 Comment

 
In a tough matchup on the road, the Explorers fell short to the Minutemen by a final score of 66-59.  Jordan Price led all scorers with 30 points, while Donte Clark led UMass in scoring with 23 points.  The win gives the Minutemen the sweep over La Salle for the season.
Jordan Price went off on offense today, scoring more than half of the team's points on 10-20 shooting.  This marks the third time this season that Price went for 30 points.  The other two times came against St. Francis on 11/25 and against Towson on 12/20, the latter where he scored his season high of 31 points.  

Outside of Price, however, the Explorers struggled to get going on the offensive end, with the team shooting just 36% from the field and 31% from three point territory.  But the Explorers are not known for their offensive prowess.  Their bread and butter is on the defensive end, where they are in the top 60 in the nation in points per game allowed.  Holding a solid offensive team like UMass to just 66 points should be enough to keep the Explorers in the game most of the time.

The loss brings the Explorers' record to 13-10 on the season, and 5-5 in conference play.  If the Atlantic 10 tournament started today, La Salle would receive the 8th seed, facing off against Richmond in their first matchup.  They won a close one at home against Richmond earlier in the week by a score of 64-62, so it could be a tough matchup on a neutral court.  La Salle would benefit in winning a few more games down the stretch to draw an easier opponent if they wish to go further in the A-10 Tournament.
