That gym was incredible to play in... so small.. and the LaSalle teams knew how to use the court to their advantage all the time.

I will never forget my Sophmore year at Xavier.. my father got kicked out of the gym during our JV game. To this day all of my boys from Xavier breing up the story when we get together.. funny stuff...

Also.. LaSalle Varisity would play a crazy zone defense at home. If I remember correctly the coach never played man to man defense at home. Always caused fits for visiting teams.

I think Karim Shabazz may have been the 6'10 guy.

The only reason that team lost in the state championship was because they horsed around in the hotel pool for hours and were exhausted for the final game.
