The Pl is off to a good start in the OOC schedule this year.
HC with an ot loss to Illinois & a win over BC
Bucknell with a win over A-10 St Bonnies (not a very good team but still)
American with a thrashing of Big East Villanova
Lehigh with a win over A-10 GW (although Merrimack took them to OT)
Navy with a win over ACC Clemson
Admittedly none of these are top tier teams in their conferences but still pretty good start and helps to improve the conference ranking

George Washington (coached by Jen Rizzotti) was picked to finish 3rd in the A10 - would certainly consider them to be a "top tier" team in that conference

If that's the case, I stand corrected, I based my comment on the fact the are currently ranked in Massey's ratings at # 8 in the A-10

If that ranking is based only on this year’s results, it is obviously flawed

Army came back from 21 down on Wed to beat Air Force in Col Springs 68-66 - AWP lost a lot to graduation but it's a good W as the Mountain West conf is better than the PL
Colgate is 3-0 after wins over NJIT, UMass Lowell and Cornell

I'm not a fan of comparing scores with common opponents - but let's agree that our opener was a great opportunity to win at Illinois. you can say the same thing for Merrimack which missed a 3 ptr at the buzzer which would have tied their game at Illinois last night, losing 75-72 - Merrimack is showing quite well across most sports so far in their transition to D.1

UMass won a matinee at BU today 58-45 - seems the terriers are not a serious threat in the PL this season

Well, we've all seen what can happen when you take an opponent too lightly.

the Colgate score is actually 100-93 in favor of 'gate - still a crazy score - would not have bet that PL teams could both shoot that well - AWP 52 pct fg - Colgate 63 pct fg (incl 58 pct from the arc)

Defense was not a priory. Former HC commit Hope Brown who started was impressive |

Elsewhere in the PL today - Loyola at home beat army by 11, Colgate won at BU 70-61 and Lafayette is leading navy by 25 pats late in the game in Easton
Don’t look now but Colgate is very quietly 13-4 overall and 5-1 in the league - I’d include them among the contenders along with bucknell, Lehigh and (hopefully) HC
Bucknell is playing at Lehigh at 4 today
