Was it La Salle being so bad or did Carolina REALLY tried to go inside so much in the second half?

Being at the game on Saturday I got a closer look at the contest than I would have had on TV and I noticed in the second half Carolina repeatedly got the ball deep in the paint and the bigs had a field day in the block. Was it just that La Salle played Matador defense in the paint or was it the coaching team decided to feed the bigs to see what they could do. Either way it was refreshing to see.

I truly believe this the biggest reason Tyson hit five threes from the corners because the defense was leaving him open to try and double down in the paint. Cade has a quick release like Manek did and he does not hesitate in shooting the rock.

But again the question is still out there was the Explorers defense just pitiful down low or did the Carolina bigs show big time improvement…

I think it has alot to do with it. I have said all year you don't have to be effective on the block you just need to show it to them, and you will get some cleaner looks.

My concern is that it took 10 games to figure it out and even more concerning that they wanted to try that shit show offense to start with.

Dont get me wrong our front court is a mess and not final 4 material, but the team can be better than what they have been.

With that said you will know Tuesday if there has been a change because Florida is going to be a hand full.

For me the answer is yes...😆 LaSalle is a small front line, even for a small mid major. Our "bigs" were able to garner respect, which opens up different options in and out.
