Scouting La Salle

Andrew Scurria

You could call La Salle a dangerous team, but they don’t exactly have a lot of weapons.

Only four players scored in the Explorers’ most recent game, a 72-61 win at Saint Bonaventure on Saturday.

Those four — Kimmani Barrett, Darnell Harris, Rodney Green and Jerrell Williams — have scored over 72% of La Salle’s points this year. By comparison, Penn’s top six scorers account for virtually the same percentage of the Quakers’ points.

Penn won a thrilling game at Tom Gola High School Arena last year by shutting Harris down after a torrid first half, which makes the possible return of Michael Kach — Penn’s best perimeter defender — seem even more important.

I’ll be getting coach John Giannini’s perspective on Tuesday’s matchup with Penn tomorrow afternoon, so if you have a question you’d like addressed, shoot me an email at scurria@sas.upenn.edu and I’ll post his response.
