We are beating AU pretty decisively on the boards at both ends - they stand around a lot.

PB has been terrible at the line.tonight, under 60% for the year. A problem for a point guard, especially at endgame

American came into the game ranked 347th in FT%. Easy to see why.

Nice to be above .500. Been a while.
We often seem to play up or down to the level of our competition. Wouldn't mind a few blowouts.

The good news is that they won the game and didn't play particularly well. The bad news is that they again did not play particularly well! The team just cannot seem to put a couple great games together consistently. When they do, the are as good as any team in the league. They are over .500 and have to take care of business Wednesday.

Really need Champion to get his shot back ... maybe the free throws in the last couple of minutes will help

First half at Lehigh anyway. Obviously I was generalizing. Point being we're in the mix and can take it to the next level with a little more consistency.

By KenPom's calculations, this was our best defensive effort since the win over Army in PL playoffs last year

In tonight's game Malachi Alexander passed Jim Schnurr, Keith Hochstein, George Kaftan, and Jim McCaffrey to move into 28th place on the all-time HC scoring list.

While I get CBS sports, I was at the game and neglected to tape it. Anyone know how to "recover" a live game?
I am told that there was a quick (still) shot of my granddaughter with the Crusader during the pre-game show, presumably taken at the game at the DCU earlier in the year.

By KenPom's calculations, this was our best defensive effort since the win over Army in PL playoffs last year Which brings us to our stat du jour . . . opponent effective possession ratio - calculated as (Poss+OR-TO)/Poss - a metric which may help explain why we might be better defensively than we appear to be at times. American shot the ball well last night - 50% overall, 67% of their twos - and Holy Cross continues to be quite poor at preventing teams from scoring when they get the chance. But our persistent ability to make our opponents ineffective when they have the ball - by turning them over and (at least last night) keeping their ORs to a minimum - results in a quality defensive performance. Problem, of course, is that when we don't do those two things (the 2nd half vs. Lehigh being a recent, glaring example) our poor shooting defense is totally exposed. Holy Cross currently ranks 4th in the nation in Opponent Effective Possession Ratio, and 3rd in Opponent TOs per Possession.. www.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/stat/opponent-effective-possession-ratiowww.teamrankings.com/ncaa-basketball/stat/opponent-turnovers-per-possession
