I certainly agree on that point, hoops. If HC could take two games it would show the huge difference from last season. Even a split of the 2 games would be a sign of better things ahead.
Think we will see any new faces up front in either game?

Their 6’10” 250 lb center, Lynch, from Seattle Jesuit Prep, will be a handful for either Matt or Gerrale, or both. Hope Matt can somewhat avoid foul trouble and play big minutes.

Vegas thinks Lehigh is a slight favorite. Slight enough that HC really needs to win at least one

It may seem early to be talking playoffs, but after this weekend the regular season is half over. These two game could be a deciding factor in case of both: one of the two of four teams best records after the initial 6 are chosen; and for a possible tie when these last two spots are filled for the 8 team playoffs.

For the first time this season I feel we can win both games on the weekend. Being .500 8 games into the season would be a surprise, but a welcome one. Let’s get the first one today!

Definitely need to get wins wherever we can. We could well be on the bubble at the end.

While "I hate the three" has long been a mantra for me, Lehigh has had a very weak defense against the three this year and thus we have an opportunity there. Butler and Wade may be the primary weapons on that shot and let's see them both go 3-6 or 3-7. Then I'll be happy if Matt Faw returns to form (small sample to date this year) and goes 2-5 while RJ Johnson opportunistically makes the 1 shot he takes. The wild cards will be Judson Martindale and Bo & Bubba---I don't have enough experience with them to move the light from yellow now to green or red. I do have high hopes for JM. 11 for 26 is the target while we hold them to 4 for 15.

Not a great start - offensive foul on Gates.

Four baskets by four different guys - on four assists - and HC's up 9-3 at the under-15

HC doubled Lynch with the weakside guard, good rotation from the Cross..Haven't seen that double before from HC

We are much better against teams that don’t shoot it very well.

Doing a great job to neutralize the post so far. They're taking almost the entire shot clock each trip and forcing a lot of bad shots.

The 8-0 run by LU is tough to counter. HC can't go that long without a point.

We are much better against teams that don’t shoot it very well. Lehigh went on a 10-0 run right after this post. The ‘92 jinx is real.
