We entered the final game of the regular season riding the crest of an 8-game winning streak, having put away our opponents – 4 at home and 4 on the road – by an average score of 74.4 to 62.5 over the month of February. It’s been a month like none other I can recall. Lessons seemed to have been learned and skills mastered. The players, coaches and fans alike are all having fun. We’ve peaked at just the right time and it’s been a joy to watch it come about. Congrats to all associated with the program.
With the #2 seed in the bag, why worry about winning our 13th in the PL, 9th in a row, and capture the chance – albeit slim – to finish first and thereby lock up a post-season bid? I’m not sure what the coaches have said but to me it’s simple: Go into the playoffs on a high, thinking you’re invincible, is a far better mind set to have than the one you carry in coming off a loss, wondering if you can get “it” back in time for the next opponent. From what I sense, I don’t think we’ll have anything to worry about – attitude and effort wish – when it comes our play tomorrow. I’m expecting an all-out performance and would be disappointed with anything less.
We beat Army
and
Navy beats Bucknell
and
Holy Cross beats Boston U.
and
Colgate beat Lafayette
Our Next Game (Thusday, March 3rd at Stabler)
If we end up the #2 seed, we’ll play the winner of the Tuesday game between #10 (Lafayette) @ #7 (to be determined)
If we earn the #1 seed, we’ll play the winner of the #9 (Holy Cross) @ #8 (to be determined)
Look forward to seeing you up at The Point tomorrow!
