I am pretty confident (as much as you can be with this team) we walk away with a win. I am thinking 72-63. As we head into the meat of our schedule the home court needs to be protected and I think it will. Watched Lasalle the other night vs Joes and they hung in there during the first half and were able to finish. Joes is not a good team this year so I was a little surprised with the line being 2 1/2. Expect big games from Marcus and Dion with Youssou having his hands full down low. We are going to miss Ndoye next season and am already wondering if Schmidt has somebody lined up to replace him.

I am hoping to see a bit of Chris Dees tonight to give Dion some breathers because this is one of the better frontlines in the A10. I feel the Bonnies match up well with the Explorers and I say they cover the spread of 3. The one stat I was pretty surprised at was La Salle gives up some Offensive Rebounds even with that big frontline. That could be a big difference in the game seeing that the Bonnies grab Offensive Rebounds at a pretty good rate. La Salle is also only shooting 31% from 3 and 45.8% from 2 which both go in the Bonnies favor. I hope the RC is rocking tonight and we get that victory!

Just a little off topic but I could use some help here, I won't be able to watch the game tonight and will get home around 10 pm. How can I view a replay of the game? Thanks.

The explorers are a very strong defensive team. #3 in points allowed (58ppg) and #2 in steals.
I love bigdobber's optimism of us putting up 72 against such a stingy defense ESPECIALLY since we average only 66ppg.
This year’s history of 2 very bad & puzzling losses makes it impossible to predict a win with any level of certainty. That said, I am confident that IF we score 72 a win is a sure thing tonight. That would make for one of our more effective scoring nights against a team that makes teams struggle to score.
A replacemnt for Youssou must be a high priority. The player that can be his successor is Kyle Alexander who will be at the RC with his family for tonight's game. If you see one of the longest 6'10s at the game that's him. Hope he and his family have an enjoyable official visit and feel the passion Bona fans have for their Bonnies.
Kyle and Bona make for a perfect match for reasons as detailed in the 2015 recruit thread above. I want to see the Alexander family sitting in the RC next year cheering on their son. Welcome to Kyle and family & GO BONNIES!

Everybody going to the game please make the Alexander's feel at home here. Dad will be very influential in this decision.

So Posley sat out the first 4 minutes? Some sort of infraction maybe?

I like this Dion Wright we're seeing lately. Moving his game to a different level maybe.
