Massey has the Leopards as a three point favorites over HC (67-64) with a 61% chance for the win.

In first place alone at 4-0, Lafayette, with its win over Colgate, is definitely the big surprise team of the PL up to now.
At 1-3, we are in a 4 way tie for 7th.

Take a look at the Leopards non-con schedule and you will notice they played a lot of good teams tough but came out of it with only one win. |

Just watched the Lafayette vs Navy game yesterday. Very impressive win.
Their new head coach, Mike McGarvey, has this team playing tough D and high energy offense.
This will be a tough matchup for HC because they have size, depth and outside shooting talent.
If Massey has us as only a 3 pt underdog (as rgs318 indicates above), I am very surprised. Pomeroy has us as an 8 point underdog, which sounds a bit more realistic.

VanerBaan is a tough matchup for HC. Caleb will have to have a solid D plan against him. Inside and outside shooter with great size.. A freshman point guard, let’s hope we are fully healthy!

Trying to remember- Nelson didn't like "Vanderbomb" (and didn't recruit him after he left BC) or Vanderbaan didn't like Nelson. Or both? Hopefully not a case of preferring Simon Wilbar over him. |

I watched VanderBaan play in their win over Navy. He will be a tough matchup for HC based on his size alone.
He is NOT very athletic at all. He's not quick and normally trails the team down the court. Very poor jumper and not much of a rebounder for a guy with his size.
He does have a nice touch, both around the basket and out to 12 feet (can hit an occasional three). However, he goes almost exclusively to the right and, at least in this game, exhibited no left hand.
He blocks shots based on his size alone.
That said, he is hugely better than Wilbar.
Tough to understand why anyone thought he was an ACC talent. I guess BC considered him a project and, after 2 years, he decided, if he wanted to get floor time, he needed to transfer to a lower conference.

Is # 14 Norm Sherry? hchoops…lookin’ at you for insight. #14 was my hero who used to attend our Brooklyn parish’s Communion Breakfasts, first baseman Gilbert Ray Hodges. After many hopes he was finally voted into the Hall of Fame last year. His Brooklyn wife, Joan, was still alive to appreciate the long deserved honor. On second thought i am not sure that is Hodges. It does not look like him from the rear. He did play for Los Angeles, as did Koufax, but I believe he did not play when #3 Willie Davis did. But Durocher never was involved with the LA Dodgers. He managed the Brooklyn Dodgers in the late 40s. He was Jackie Robinson’s first manager. |

Completely agree, but Gil retired in'61, I believe.....The Dodgers retired his number much later ( well after the Mets did the same ), but its unclear Fairly ever wore # 14....I'm betting it was Skowron, or Ken McMullen |
