The online home of Philly college basketball
By ANDY EDWARDS Philahoops Staff Twitter: @DLNAndyEdwards La Salle University’s logo displays an anonymous Explorer gazing horizontally into the distance through a telescope. For the past few years, the men’s basketball team has spent the majority of its time staring up at Xavier, Temple, Dayton, and the rest of the Atlantic 10′s perennial powerhouses. Now, [...]
By JOSH VERLIN Philahoops Staff Twitter: @jmverlin After two cozy home wins last week at the friendly confines of the Daskalakis Athletic Center, it’s time for Drexel to hit the road. The Dragons (17-5, 9-2 CAA) play their next three away from Philadelphia, beginning with a trip up to Boston to play the Northeastern Huskies [...]
By JACK SCHEUER Philahoops Staff Twitter: @philahoops It seems to me that the strategy of some coaches to “work the officials” is not a good idea, and, in fact, is counterproductive.

By TIM MORGAN Philahoops Staff Twitter: @zcaptain36 Quite simply, Saint Joseph’s didn’t compete. That’s Phil Martelli’s explanation for the Hawks’ 78-60 blowout loss to Temple on Saturday at the Liacouras Center. “The biggest thing is that we didn’t physically, mentally, or emotionally compete for 40 minutes (on Saturday) and that’s the first time that has [...]
By ANDY EDWARDS Philahoops Staff Twitter: @DLNAndyEdwards La Salle men’s basketball head coach John Giannini has heard it all before, probably too many times for his liking. Before the 2011-12 season, his Explorers were picked to finish behind a higher number of teams than are mentioned in the Atlantic 10′s name, pundits selecting them as [...]
By AARON BRACY Philahoops Staff Twitter: @Aaron_Bracy If this were a horse race, we’d all be rising from our seats right about now. We are getting close to the home stretch in the conference races, with the Big East and Colonial Athletic Association already past the halfway mark, the Atlantic 10 nearing it while the [...]
