To say this game is crucial states the obvious. Win in Baltimore tomorrow night and at home Saturday against “you know who” and we lock up 4th seed and a Patriot League Tournament home game the following Thursday March 1. Kenpom has us installed as a 3 point road favorite over the home standing Greyhounds. Can we shake off the Loyola jinx? If so, who will be the star? It could be any of 6 or 7 names as exhibited throughout the season.
Hopefully LU65 and others will be adding their insightful analysis into this post.
February 19, 2018 at 5:33 pm #33905As we’ve learned, Live by the 3,die by the 3. I hope we wont cool off for a while yet. If we do,hope Doc adapts quickly to prevent a long drought

Case Closed!February 20, 2018 at 6:01 pm #33907as long as they are working for the open shot, an open 3 is just as good as an open 2, play solid D and don’t turn it over and these guys will be very tough to beat, play sloppy and lazy on D and anyone can beat them, it is that simple
February 21, 2018 at 8:55 pm #33911not pretty but the guys gutted out a win tonight, hope LT is feeling better by Saturday
February 21, 2018 at 9:05 pm #33912And the beat goes on. Gritty game. When we werent hitting 3s we went in for 2s. A teamvout on the court.
February 21, 2018 at 10:33 pm #33916What’s up with lance. Missed game. Was at Michigan penn st game
February 21, 2018 at 10:36 pm #33917Dont know. Sounds like ill. Hope he is back for Pards. Stout out for Pardd appendix
February 22, 2018 at 11:23 am #33921Great win for Lehigh – 7 straight! I like how this team is playing now and they have to be seen as dangerous. Kahron Ross made some crossover dribble moves that made me wonder if I was watching an old film loop of CJ McCollum in Lehigh’s road brown.
If Lehigh wins this weekend they will finish no worse than 4th and will be hosting someone in the PL Tournament on Saturday.
Lehigh is ALIVE for the No. 2 seed. If Lehigh beats Lafayette, Navy loses to Loyola and Colgate loses to Holy Cross, Lehigh would be the No. 2 seed (T2 with Colgate, both teams were 1-1 against each other but Lehigh beat Bucknell once while Bucknell swept Colgate).
I believe it works out like this:
Lehigh W, Navy L, Colgate L –> Lehigh No. 2 seed
Lehigh W, Navy W, Colgate L –> Lehigh No. 3 seed
Lehigh W, Navy L, Colgate W –> Lehigh No. 3 seed
Lehigh W, Navy W, Colgate W –> Lehigh No. 4 seedIf Lehigh loses, they could either be in a 2-way or 3-way tie with BU and/or Navy. Lehigh loses tiebreakers with Navy (they swept us) or BU (1-1, they also beat Bucknell once, and Colgate once, but they also beat Navy once). So a loss would very likely put Lehigh as the 5th seed.
February 22, 2018 at 2:35 pm #33923February 22, 2018 at 2:37 pm #33924we will play in quarterfinals, March 4 and then March 7 should they win
