In a game that showed glimpses of the greatness capable in a Big Five rivalry, the La Salle Explorers stunned the St. Joe's Hawks 90-89 last night at the Palestra. It was the Explorers first win in 9 tries against the boys from down on City Line Ave. La Salle was sparked by an impressive array of three point shooting, finishing the night 16 for 29 (55.2 %) from beyond the arc.
To celebrate the win, a handful of La Salle faithful decided to storm the court at the Palestra. According to the unwritten code of court storming, I believe this is acceptable (and also rather kickass.) They snapped a long losing streak to a hated rival. Video of the court rushing after the jump.
