First of all, a correction: we plugged the Bucknell auction by mistake, which has since ended. The bad news is that.
Positive news? We ought to have brought up the LaSalle auction, which is going to be a lot greater game.
The LaSalle programme has a long history. It is a member of Philadelphia’s Big Five, along with La Salle, Temple, St. Joe’s, Villanova, and Penn. To illustrate the strength of the Big Five, Penn recently defeated Villanova. Basketball is a big deal at these colleges. Much rightful pride in the Big Five.
There is a lot of history around the Explorers. LaSalle finished second in 1955 and won the 1954 NCAA title in addition to winning the 1952 NIT, which was a huge deal back then. Three National Players of the Year are also produced by it: Michael Brooks, Lionel “Train” Simmons, and Tom Gola.
June 14, 2000 is the date. We’re at Conseco Fieldhouse for Game 4 of the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Indiana Pacers 2000 NBA Finals. The Lakers are up two points with seconds left in OT, and if they can get a stop here, they can take a decisive three-to-one series lead. Oh sh*t! That is.
Joe, Kobe Bryant’s father, attended LaSalle as well.
To put it briefly, LaSalle has flown several flags and there is a great deal of tradition. Additionally, they have a great deal of familiarity with the Palestra, so Cameron won’t experience the same kind of shock or assault on the senses that many tourists do.
Additionally, LaSalle has not lost yet. The roster is intriguing as well. With representation from Lithuania, Serbia, Venezuela, Argentina, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey, it is somewhat half-Pennsylvania and half-international. We believe that there’s a strong likelihood that Efe Tahmaz, the Turk, is familiar with Stanley Borden.
In any case, this is a squad worth seeing, and tickets are still reasonably priced. Additionally, you get to see Duke as it appears and assist
