With the lead of 43-23 at halftime, La Salle got off to an explosive start against the Bison. Last year’s No. 14 seed in NCAA tournament looked very stagnant on both sides of the ball.
Leading the Blue and Gold was senior Earl Pettis with 16 points along with freshman Jerrell Wright’s eight. The juices were pumping early for La Salle as they jumped out to a 14-5 lead in efforts to capture Coach John Giannini’s 400 victory.
Despite being up 20, the Explorers’ should not come out at half content with this lead. There is reason why the Bison made it to the NCAA dance while La Salle, on the other hand, didn’t even make it to the NIT tournament.
Ultimately, this game looks to be in the books if Coach G and his unit can continue to follow the same script from the first stanza.
