Boys played well against Colgate but the short bench and lack of depth hurt us in the end. They are a tenacious group that never gives up and are definitely much better than in November! Big game tomorrow night against Loyola! We need to come away with a W! Lot's of 4 out of 5, a few 1 out of 5 and in the end nobody picked Loyola over Navy!
Last night, Lafayette built a big 15 point lead over Bucknell in the first half, then hung on at the end for a 65 - 62 victory!

Lafayette-- Bucknell beat Laf on the road in their first game but I think momentum is on the side of the Leopards. Bucknell won with turnovers (15-7 in favor of Bison) and Laf missing on its threes. In PL play Bucknell has the lowest 2PT % while Lafayette has the #1 defense versus the two, so weakness against strength there. Bucknell's offense is struggling with low % shooting, turnovers, and sub-optimal offensive rebounding.
Colgate- Raiders are 17-0 when opponents shoot worse than 53% and 0-6 when opponents exceed 56%. Lehigh is shooting 49.8% in PL games. Lehigh has lost 6 in a row, lives and dies by the 3, and Colgate has PL's #1 defense against the 3 (%wise)
Navy--Navy is 8-0 when it shoots 50% or better, not that high a hurdle but Navy is not a good shooting team and relies on offensive boards to get the extra shots it needs to score. Evan Wieck is 24-29 on twos in his last three games.
Boston U- Army has won 6 in a row but I think BU is the better team and one building momentum, winning its last 3 games by 15,15,20 ;points.
Holy Cross- Loyola just beat Navy (Navy 5-27 on 3's) after losing 8 in a row. Navy was 12-15 from the line but that was no match for Loyola's 28-35. Loyola beat HC in first game by 10 but the hope here is that HC can cut back on fouls and contain Kostecka

Hre's where we came down
Lafayette 13 vs 9 Bucknell [13 posters selected Lafayette while 9 pick Bucknell to win]
Colgate 22 vs 0 Lehigh
American U 3 vs 19 Navy
Boston U 19 vs 3 Army
Loyola 3 vs 19 Holy Cross
If we were betting on a pari-mutuel basis I'd put $$ on Lafayette, American U, Army, and Loyola. I couldn't bet Colgate at 1-10
Lafayette led by 13 at the half. Bucknell outscored Laf by 10 points in the second half but that was not enough for the win. Bucknell had one of its worst shooting games of the year

Bucknell shot really well to start the second half. They had erased Lafayette's big 15 point lead late in the first half and actually went ahead. During that stretch they shot 62% from the field. But think I heard the announcers say that they made only 1 of their last 15 shots.
