Daily News | La Salle picks up fourth straight win with 86-70 defeat of Massachusetts
Career days from several Explorers lifted La Salle men’s basketball over UMass, 86-70, for its fourth win in a row.
That is, until just over eight minutes remaining, when Nickelberry drilled two three-pointers on consecutive possessions. Junior guard Anwar Gill followed it up with a steal and a layup to bring the Explorers their highest lead of the game, 66-59. With the momentum shifted in the Explorers’ favor, La Salle never again surrendered the lead and cruised to their fourth win in a row.
Nickelberry, who started the first 18 games of the season but has been playing off the bench since the end of January, had a team-high 21 points. On Saturday, he also set a season-high in three-pointers made in a single game, going 7 of 11. “A huge play was Rokus making the three,” said La Salle head coach Fran Dunphy. And another huge play was in transition, he gets the ball, lays it in, foul. So it gives us six points when we were struggling. So I thought his play was terrific.”
