Well, January was a downer and I guess it seemed fitting that last night's game to end the month would be also! ! In the future, I will have to seriously consider not going to the "Roof" ever again! The music (if you want to call it that) was beyond deafening and non-stop! Looking over at the BU Club Night fans made me think I was at a swimming meet and not a basketball game! ! The game really started to get out of hand during the first half when an elderly woman wearing a full length fur coat politely informed our poster Tom by showing him her ticket that he was in the wrong seat! ! Thought she was a Holy Cross fan because she did have purple pants on but upon leaving at the end of the game put on her BU winter hat! ! First time I have ever seen Tom speechless! ! Kudos to HC16 for going 5 for 5! The second half of the season looks daunting but lets hope we can get MF and CN back and turn this thing around! Rank / Poster / 30-Jan / Total

Sinking like a stone!! That's what I get for picking Holy Cross despite my head telling me they are also sinking - in the rankings and the PL standings. The list of things that disappoint me about Holy Cross is growing and considering my association with the school runs 70 years, that takes some doing. If I don't pick well this week, I will ask my almost 4 year old grandson for advice on my picks. Lehigh @ Army Boston University @ Colgate Holy Cross @ American (my head tells me yet another loss but I'd rather go with this pick as I will really kick myself if I pick AU and HC wins!) Loyola @ Navy Bucknell @ Lafayette

The game really started to get out of hand during the first half when an elderly woman wearing a full length fur coat politely informed our poster Tom by showing him her ticket that he was in the wrong seat! ! Thought she was a Holy Cross fan because she did have purple pants on but upon leaving at the end of the game put on her BU winter hat! ! First time I have ever seen Tom speechless! ! Kudos to HC16 for going 5 for 5! In all fairness, Classof83 was in her seat. I moved with him to be polite abandoning our pals from the class of 70. I must confess, when I see HC hoops on the road, I sit where ever I want and don't even look at my seat assignment. I don't agree with the logic when there are plenty of empty seats around, but I understand the concept that some people really like THEIR seat. Shocking and uncharacteristic as it may seem, I was more polite than speechless. Although, people who really want their assigned seat should be on time for the event. Anyhow. . . on to business Army Colgate HC Navy Bucknell Pats

Saturday is going to be a challenge for the Purple. AU is home and on a roll with 3 straight wins over the two BU's and Loyola.

Tom is correct. She was not too happy, however that I was in her seat - not a problem. To be honest she never said a word she just stood there on the stairs next to me as she tried to find her ticket. and I asked her if we were in her seat - she nodded and I moved to another row. Tom came with me. She reminded me of my piano teacher when I was a kid.
Good for her. The PL teams need all the fans they can get.
Anyway, since I am a fan as well, I will never pick against HC even though I think we will struggle if we can't get some production from the bench:

Lehigh-- Army had been moving up nicely but got pummeled by Colgate when it did not enjoy its customary free throw advantage. Lehigh plays at a fast pace and so does Army so I don't think Army will try to slow things down. Updating my line from every prediction: Lehigh is 14-0 when facing #165 or lower and Army is #226. Lance Tejada has been unconscious, shooting 34-62= .548 on threes in PL games. Lehigh is the better team and I believe it will play that way.
Colgate--Colgate is 5-0 in home games in PL and beat Boston U by 21 in Massachusetts.
American U-- I hate to type this but HC's declining form and significant injuries make American the likely favorite. We'll need 3 players (from AB, JF, CG, JG) to have good games to win. JF has scored 4 points in each of the last two games and fouled out of both. We need to get him back on track. He has been getting his assists and blocking shots but took only 6 shots versus Navy and 4 at BU. In the last four games he has taken just 7 free throws. He had two good games last year as HC beat AU twice. In the last 6 games JG has scored 18+ 3 times and 7 or fewer 3 times. It's all a matter of whether he is hitting his threes. CG has just about doubled his 3 point accuracy going from making 1 of 4 attempts OOC to making 1 of 2 in PL games. AB has been playing good offense with an O-Rating of 100 or higher in 6 of the last 7 games. It helps that he has been getting to the line a lot of late.
Loyola--- It seems irrational to pick this squad in a road game but I think the Hounds have a chance at Navy. Loyola is 0-13 when its defensive efficiency is greater than or equal to 105.9 and 8-1 when it is 102.7 or better. Navy has a weak offense with its off efficiency at 97.4 and #10 in PL games. If Navy makes many threes it will win as Loyola is 6-1 when opponents shoot 30% or worse and 2-12 when they shoot 32% or better. Navy is #9 in PL 3 point percentage at 31% but, then again, Loyola's defense checks in at #10 with 41% 3 point shooting by opponents.
Bucknell-- Bison have won last 6 versus Lafayette and I think they'll do so even without Sotos. Bucknell beat Navy by 12 (led by 18 with just over 2 minutes to play) as MacKenzie played 35 minutes and 9 other Bison played 10 to 25 minutes. Sestina had foul trouble.
