Tre Mitchell and Carl Pierre launched themselves to the floor with no hesitation to save a loose ball.
The Minutemen led by four 5 minutes, 30 seconds into the second half of their Atlantic 10 Conference opener Wednesday at La Salle. The Explorers missed a 3-pointer and Jhamir Brickus jumped into the corner to save it. He eyed Jared Kimbrough on the left wing. Mitchell tracked the pass through the air and sprawled out to tip the ball away.
