Picking up on 90’s men vs. boys theme, it’s important to remember that come December 30th – the start of PL play – that won’t be the case anymore. It’s not that Lehigh bit off more than it could chew when scheduling their 2016 opponents so many months ago, it’s was purposely done to prepare us for the rigors of PL play with, in my mind, no thought of us running the table or even coming close. Sure our record is disappointing to many, but consider the source. Simply: KenPom’s Out of Conference Rankings of Opponents as of today. Following the ranking, I have shown the teams’ record to date.
LU 22 / 2-4
CU 43 / 2-4
Loyola 58 / 3-4
HC 62 / 3-4
AU 156 / 1-5
Bucknell 168 /
LC 186 / 2-4
Navy 205 / 3-4
Army 213 / 3-4
Boston U. 268 / 4-3
If I were to worry, it would be over our bench or lack thereof. That is……..How bad is the injury to Pat Andree? Will we ever see Jack Lieb or Caleb Sedore? Can Carter give more productive minutes? Will ‘walk-on” Josh Wolf be able to contribute in any way? Today, 92% of our minutes go to seven men. That’s asking too much from too few.
