If the guys play the way they have the last three games, they'll have a nice ride home!

Colgate is 7th in the country in 3FG%, and takes a high percentage of its shots from beyond the arc, so unsurprisingly, they don't get to the line much. Holy Cross, on the other hand, registered a 50% FTR (FTA/FGA) against Army, its best mark in over three years. Need to keep attacking the rim, drawing fouls and making freebies. Maybe the attack from attack and serve now means attack the rim.

That stat has to be at least a bit skewed by Luc’s 6-6 at the end. Why discount six of the most important free throws in the game? Not discounted at all. saying that 6-6 skews the free throw advantage stat that WG posted

If the guys play the way they have the last three games, they'll have a nice ride home! If you believe in Ken Pomeroy's methodology (calculating offensive and defensive efficiency) here's how we beat these last three opponents LehighHC's Defense won it as Lehigh's offense was much less efficient against HC than against other PL teams. HC's offense performed about as expected in comparison to other Lehigh opponents Boston UniversityHC's Offense won it, posting an offensive efficiency that was significantly better than what most teams enjoy versus Boston U HC's defense performed about as expected for a BU opponent Army Looks like a combo, led by the defense. HC's defense held Army to 96.1 Off Eff versus Army's mark of 100.8 in total PL play. HC's offense came in at 102.0 versus Army's composite defense of 100.5 Of course we could look further into HC's numbers versus its other games

The problem is that we can't arrange for Colgate to foul only Luc. Keep it in his hands at the end!

Great strategy but, for example, when our ladies are in a close game and time running down, we try to get it into the hands of Avery. Sometimes that's easier said than done because the opponent sure knows who the great free throw shooters are.

DraftKings: HC +17.5 +1100 ML Now +16.5 +950 Must be all the $$ I laid on HC!

Any bet on HC hoops is a seriously questionable use of $ Maybe even the entire PL

They were all on the court -along with the unsung Malcolm Townsel - for the last three minutes of the Army game.
MT had just one point and two rebounds in 37 minutes. Earning time with his defense.

A win tonight would be 4 in a row and IMHO a positive trend - an "upward trajectory." A close loss and I'm still sitting on the fence. A rout (hopefully not) and we're back to the drawing boards.

Pretty big move in 12 hours. I took the HC on the moneyline the last two games, as well as the line. Hadn’t bet them in weeks, but saw an improvement in the Lehigh game. Just small wagers to make things interesting. Bet the same tonite. Love the DraftKings app! Moneyline may be a stretch on the road, but 17.5 was a steal the way they’ve played the last 2. We’ll see!

I think tonight is a nice test for our improving team. Last 3 games we were behind at half and outplayed our opponents the last 5 minutes of each game. Different ways, as well. BU, we kept making shots to stay close and large number of blocked shots, a rarity. The other 2 wins we just out executed Lehigh and Army at the end. I think Colgate is the league standard as far as excellence the last 3 years. They have size (4 big guys on the roster), quick guards who penetrate and shoot threes and they seem to be very well coached. Personally, I think we need a lot more size and some better shooters but I am hoping for a close competitive game which will give our players our more confidence and bode well for the rest of February.
Go Cross Go!

Well the announcers said this is the first year for BN as coach. Right up there with other announcers who said Gates was a frosh.
