Nice win! Floyd is a beast.
As they always say — better to be 6-10 than 5-11!
Amazing that if the staff could just produce some level of consistency out of the team, a 4th place finish would have been a total cakewalk.
(Can we please end the charade of Zignorski starting over Bezan and Faw? Very dumb.)

Fom the PL site........ Men’s Basketball Specific Tiebreaker: a. NCAA Men’s Basketball RPI (NCAA.com) published on the day (or the next day that a report is available) following the final regular-season League game to determine the higher seeded team. The team with the higher RPI will receive the higher seed. Boston Univ......228 Loyola...............276 Navy..................258 HOLY CROSS....190 The RPI (now NET) is basically the last tiebreaker and is very unlikely to come into play. My read is that the ONLY tiebreaker for hoops is RPI. There is no reference to NET in the PL tiebreaker discussion, and with the RPI detail shown after the other procedures (including a coin flip), it follows that ties are broken by RPI, and RPI alone. (While NET will be used by the NCAA this year, RPI is still calculated and available.) |

All,
In general I prefer not to get too far ahead of myself and say let's win the next 2 then worry about tie-breakers. But if you are interested, you need to read the whole tie breaking procedure.
Here's the tie breaking procedure from the PL site and I've bolded the applicable sections. You look at each tiebreaker starting with A. Note that you apply the Sport Specific Tie-Breaker at Step C and in the case of basketball, the sport specific tie breaker applied is the RPI. Which is curious since the NCAA doesn't use it any longer.

Another key to the win was having only 5 fouls when we were called for that Butler foul with 1.6 to go. Thus no 1 and 1.

Had the pleasure of catching the game live at the utilitarian Stabler arena today. Good turnout of HC fans, so much so that I was relegated to a corner seat in section 7. Team played well except for 2 boneheaded 4 point plays in 1st half. Team spirit looks good. Obviously, having JF & MF not in foul trouble was huge. Looking for a strong finish these last 2 game. Go Cross.
Lehigh administration finally replaced the scoreboard with a high tech video board. Readers of Feinstein's book may recall that the old scoreboard had the wrestling term "Advantage" on it; it was probably the only such scoreboard at a hoops arena in the US.

I must have reading the procedures through my purple-tinted glasses - which doesn’t necessarily make me a bad person! |

If we get to play another game down there in the PL tournament, perhaps President Malachi Alexander can come and give a pregame speech. |

If we make it that far, we will definitely have to make some new signs. Maybe bring the old ones too for good luck. |

Do not know any others’ stats, but JF should be a strong candidate for PoW with two solid games

What was worse was conducting the interview, game in progress, and the camera on the interview, happened a few times |

Being a Lehigh broadcast team does NOT (IMHO) excuse such an unprofessional performance. Even in the post-game interview with the coach, what they talked about most of the time was the alums being honored and "Legends" Day. Yeech!

I rarely tune in to the audio, thankfully. |

AB is not a candidate for POW, but I will call attention to the fact that he had yet another solid performance, scoring 14 points with an effective fg pctg of 107% and 5-6 from the line. He had 5 assists (love the one underneath to JF) but 3 turnovers. He's earned an o-rating of 100+ from KenPom for 6 games in a row (no other Crusader has done so this year) and 12 of last 14.
Stat-----Jehyve Floyd vs Rapolas Ivanauskas last 2 games
Minutes----70 vs 60
2 PT FG--15-17 vs 10-20
3 PT FG--0-0 vs 6-10
Eff Fg %---.882 vs .633
FT---------5-8 vs 3-6
Points---37 vs 41
Rebounds-- 20 vs 14
Assists-----5 vs 6
Turnovers- 2 vs 3
Blocks---9 vs 5
Steals---2 vs 3
Fouls---- 5 vs 5

Thus, the deciding factor had to be Colgate’s two wins— decidedly unfair. Maybe somewhat understandable if we had lost both games.
