La Salle Falls To Rhode Island After Rough Start

2/28/2015

0 Comments

 
The Explorers lost by just 3 points, but found themselves in a hole in the first half, finding themselves facing a 36-24 deficit at halftime.  They played much better in the second half, but were not able to complete the comeback, losing by a final score of 59-56.  Jerrell Wright led all scorers with 23 points, while E.C. Matthews led the Rams with 21 points.
Wright had a terrific game on offense, going 8-12 from the field and 7-13 from the free throw line.  Steve Zack was the only other Explorer to finish in double figures, scoring 13 points on 6-8 shooting.  Jordan Price had an off game, scoring just 4 points on 1-8 shooting.  

It was a rough game for the Explorer offense, outside of Wright and Zack's efforts.  Eight different players scored, but 6 of them finished with less than 5 points.  They also struggled to get things going from the three point line, going just 3-16 on three pointers.  The Rams went just 2-11 themselves, but converting a couple more would have been the difference between a win and a loss.  

The loss drops La Salle to 15-14 overall, and 7-9 in the Atlantic 10.  With just two regular season games left, the Explorers need to win both games in order to get themselves the best seeding possible for the A-10 tournament.  Capturing a win Wednesday's game vs Saint Joseph's can definitely help them improve their seeding.
