According to Warren Nolan, Lafayette comes in at 187 in strength of schedule. Other than Colgate at 200, the rest of the PL is way behind the Leopards. HC is at 342. I never use Warren Nolan and have no idea how it is calculated, but I'm not sure how any SOS rankings wouldn't have Bucknell ranked in the same neighborhood as Lafayette and Colgate. Below are the Massey SOS ratings for the PL. Note these ratings include the four league games that have been played, which obviously make the ratings worse for the teams that have played a strong OOC SOS. Colgate 134 Lafayette 149 Bucknell 150 Loyola 275 Boston 290 Lehigh 299 American 307 Holy Cross 309 Navy 323 Army 361 Unfortunately Pomeroy's SOS can't be used because it omits the D3 games played by seven of the PL teams. I missed the Bison at 235 in the Nolan SOS rankings. Next is Lehigh at 304 followed by the remaining 6 well into the 300's capped by AU at 362.

I just read that Wash St. and Oregon St. will be competing in the West Coast Conference in all sports except football and baseball for the next two years. It sounds like that announcement was made just before Christmas. Part of the deal was the WCC insisted on more than a one year agreement.

A couple of NIL tidbits. ND's NIL Collective has offered UNLV's star WR 250,000 next year. Clemson's Collective paid out 2.4 million to Tiger Athletes in 2022 according to tax filings.

HC was just mentioned on the ESPN2 telecast of Don Bosco vs Stepinac as one of the schools interested in 6’5” wing Brady Loughlin He hit.a 3 from NBA range. A fine pass as well. 4.0 GPA and is supposed to be a very willing passer in addition to being able to fill it up.

In first place alone at 4-0, Lafayette, with its win over Colgate, is definitely the big surprise team of the PL up to now. At 1-3, we are in a 4 way tie for 7th. Take a look at the Leopards non-con schedule and you will notice they played a lot of good teams tough but came out of it with only one win.

AJ has swagger, perhaps the confidence from his acting career, that is very important for this team. He also is probably the only player on the team who can break his man down on the perimeter and get off a good shot.

Any idea why some players have multiple team logos on their helmets? At first I thought they were previous schools with the portal but a couple guys have more than 3 or 4. Look like a Nascar helmet. It’s been a tradition at this game for many years.

Congrats to the guys ! Big corner 3 from Nugent and so many plays made by our frosh - also Kenney is very solid and plays so hard on the inside despite being undersized Next two at home vs Laf and Loyola Nugent seems more effective shooting 3’s from the deep corners. Made one from each side last night at crucial moments.

Credit to the guys. Didn’t think they’d get this one in OT. Had my doubts but BR helped us out greatly with that silly TO. We have met the enemy and it is us.

Two teams are 15-55 from the floor at the half. 7-10 from the line. Just below our 8 ppg average from the line.

I guess it's positive to play poorly but somehow have lead at half Not really. I'd rather see them playing well and down by 2.

Down by one. There's five purple Spider-men on defense out there. Let's not get carried away. Lehigh doesn't look very good. Somehow HC leads at the half 22-20. Tape isn't headed to Springfield but hey, how many times have we led at the half?

HC hanging around. Now 18-14. Would like to see Ryan hit a groove and take a game over for awhile. Not sure why he is taken out after getting a couple of buckets.

I guess that is why we are still in this game despite an ice cold start.

When will we score a point? Wills breaks the ice with a short jumper.
