This one was bad, and I disagree with the sentiment that Lehigh played well defensively. Stony Brook is a bad offensive team (ranked #334 out of 351 in effective FG%). Lehigh can’t take credit for the fact that Stony Brook is a really poor shooting team, and likely would have blown out by a better offensive group.

Instead Lehigh managed to lose a game in which the other team shot less than 32%(!!) by turning the ball over, and giving up 13 offensive rebounds. It’s tough to win on the road and we all know that, but this game and Arkansas State are starting to make me reset expectations.

Right now, this team looks more like an above average Patriot League team rather than anything exceptional.
