Next up Lehigh. The only team in the PL picked in the pre-season to finish behind HC is exceeding expectations. Currently tracking to avoid the dreaded bottom 4 round of the tournament.
Disappointing product on the floor + limiting fans to season ticket holders only + about 8" of snow heading to Worcester with tip off right in the middle of it + a non-streaming TV option for for die hard fans with snow concerns could equal a record low turnout at Hart. Potentially more cardboard fans last year than people in the stands this weekend

Looks like a little snow predicted for the game on Sat. I wonder what effect that will have on attendance.

A poster on the Lehigh board says this game, like BU's game, has been moved up to Friday at 5 pm. I don't see anything on the HC site(?)

This just backwards. We should be saying Friday and not tell them we moved the game.
Seriously, probably working on it, but not announcing until they get things squared away with officials, ESPN+, etc. This is also likely on Lehigh. A bus ride to PA in a decent sized snow storm probably not much fun

I am glad they are not directly opposite each other. Will start with the men's game and then will be there at least until half-time.

Considering BU is on Monday, not like they could let the storm come through and postpone the game to Sun or Mon...only "pre-poning" works.

Because I know CBN looks forward to these, here is my expert piece of advice for tonight's game:
After the first timeout when HC is going to be on defense, go to a 1-3-1 zone for at least 2 possessions. Use this lineup:
On top: Luc Middle, left to right: Kenney, Lewis, Bubba Back: Townsel
Give GG a well deserved break for a couple of minutes. You turn Lehighl over, RUN RUN RUN.
I'll be there early tonight, coach, if you want to discuss further.

Would you consider Dorsey rather than Luc on top? Wasn't he supposed to be a point guard? I think he's tougher on defense and covers a lot more square footage both in height and wingspan.

You need a guy that is very quick to play in back of a 1-3-1...that's why when Carmody ran his, it was really effective with Eric Green. If we were to run one with this roster, Montgomery or Dorsey might be best served in this role.
I'm not sure Nelson is capable of installing this kind of defense, to be perfectly honest.

Current TV listings do not show NBC Boston following the schedule change. Celtics play tonight with pre-game at 6:30 and that would take precedence. Those not in attendance will have to settle for ESPN +
Although I think attendance will be better tonight than if they played tomorrow afternoon, working stiffs will need to sneak out of work a little early, especially if they're coming from outside Worcester. Early tip off mid week combined with attendance policy and quality of play - I might try and see if I can actually count the fans in the stands.

My thought with KL is that he is probably one of the fastest North-South guys with the ball in the PL, and they desperately need to find a way to take advantage of that. I do see your point about Dorsey having more potential to be disruptive defensively.

Yep. You can't score without the ball! Luc may be the fastest north-south runner on the team but not sure on the east-west. Hey, I know you're kidding but maybe Nelson would chat it up with you seeing as how you can probably count the fans in the stands on 2 hands (say that out loud a few times )

Speaking of Luc, with the number of minutes he's playing this season along with tape being out on him, it looks like he's hit the infamous freshman wall, specifically with his shooting:
Non-conference (not counting D3 games): 39-101 2PT FG (38.6%), 13-28 3PT FG (46.4%).
In PL: 16-43 2PT FG (37.2%), 3-13 3PT FG (23.1%).
What's more disappointing is Martindale. I had high hopes for him this season, thinking he could be a 15 points a night kind of player. I feel for him out there as it's gotten to the point where it looks like he's scared to shoot.
