90, you’re right. How sweet it is………no one team jumping out to a 3 and 0 mark. Instead a 7-way tie at the top with 2-1 records. This could get interesting.

As for last night, the one thing that struck me besides our lack-luster effort and inability to adjust to the HC Zone over the first 7+ minutes of play, was the play of JK. He couldn’t do anything right. Frustrated and bewildered, he was last seen literally scratching his head on the bench. His line score: 19 Minutes, 0 points (0-3), 3 Rebounds (none on offense), and 4 Turnovers. He all too often looked lost and seldom could find space to operate under the basket. Hopefully, he’ll bounce back the same way he did in his only other “o-fer” of the year. That came against Siena when we couldn’t buy a basket in 16 minutes. He did bounce back over his next three (Eastern, USC and Pitt), however, with a combined 36 points and 25 boards.

With Porter (A.I.) sitting out the season, it won’t be easy going forward. I guess we’ll a fair amount of 4-G offensive sets and maybe an even heavier reliance on the 3pt. shot. As for the “3,” there’s hope. Lehigh does lead the PL (admittedly only after 3 games) in scoring accuracy from long range @ 43.8%.

On to Beantown to take on the Terriers of BU on Monday. But first, 4 Wildcard Weekend games. Tough life we sports fans lead.
