The Blue Devils had a mission against the La Salle Explorers and they accomplished it – it just took them until the second half to actually execute that mission. The Blue Devils, once again, had a slow start but turned on the juice in the second half to cruise to a 95-66 win. To the Explorers credit they kept the game close only enduring a halftime deficit of 10, despite shooting just 36.7% from the field. Even with the Blue Devils shooting 48.6% from the field they still could only muster the aforementioned 10 point advantage.
The second half was a completely different story for the Blue Devils who used the first 10 minutes to go on a 30-19 run and push the lead to 69-48.
