Second-half substitution sparks win

As senior guard Devin Coleman and sophomore forward Obi Enechionyia took off their warmups and prepared to enter the game at the 17:44 mark in the second half, La Salle redshirt-junior guard Cleon Roberts toed the free-throw line about to bring his team within one.

After the duo entered the game, the Owls responded to a 7-0 Explorers’ run with eight-straight points of their own and outscored the Explorers by 12 over the final 17 minutes on their way to a 60-47 win Wednesday night at the Palestra.

“It was early in the second half,” Coleman said.
