Crunchy Numbers

Highlighting strong individual performances from Maalik Wayns and C.J. Aiken.

Before we get to the weekly stats roundup, there is breaking news: Christian Standhardinger will not be transferring to La Salle. The move was announced this morning, but in the evening La Salle put out a statement saying it would not happen.

"Christian has recently been made aware of a personal situation that demands his full attention," La Salle coach Dr. John Giannini said in a statement. "We believe it is in the best interest of all parties that Christian Standhardinger does not attend La Salle University."
