Know nothing about holy cross - imagine if we close out on 3 point shooters we win big - if not way closer then it should be

Stevens and Phil Beans (haha sorry that makes me laugh) seem to be their only threats

Stevens Achilles heel in highschool was his 3pt shooting. I'd be surprised if he hurt us from deep on wednesday

Looks like he improved from when you saw him.  Struggled first 2 yrs but last year and this year he's a lot better.

Unrelated, just watched Cincy a little on SNF. Granted they are facing inferior team, but their new bigs are impressive. Juco forward is also long and athletic. This is definitely a solid team.

Holy Cross is pretty good. They beat ODU. I think they'll put up a good fight, but we'll hang on.

Sox - 63
Yanks - 66

Their 3 wins are against teams with a record of 2-9.  Their lost came to UTSA who holds wins over 2 of those bad teams that HC beat.  ODU is 1-3 this year.  If we don't win this game by at least 15 I'd be surprised and dissapointed.

What he said!

Agree 100%

Also Stevens is a good ball player but shouldn't be a concern for us. Glad you put up the stats for him, he did have an outside shot in high school but he could dominate driving and was a very good passer.

Their main concern was their bigs because their guards are excellent.  I haven't seen them. Butif y say they are the goods, then they should represent well this season.  Fwiw, from the Big East play I've seen thus far, I think Syracuse, Louisville, Georgetown, Cincy, St. John's all legit top 6 potential.  Notre dame and Pitt didn't impress me from what I've seen early.

Not bursting with over confidence here.  Was there last year when we were life or death to beat Lehigh.

That was a good Lehigh team. Knocked off Duke in Ncaa's. HC unlikely to be as good as Lehigh.

Nice summary;

Lehigh a much better team with one of the best scorers in the country

Think we gotta do a box and one on Andrew Beinert.









Just messin.

They need to drill these guys tonight.

games like tonight, is where i expect to see heavy burn for guys like Marco and Felix.  If they're going to be any use for us this season, these are the games where we need to see how they can contribute.

Sam Sealy time!!!!

Are you really comparing Lehigh with Holy Cross? The team that beat Duke and has a Wooden Watch player going to the NBA?

No, I'm comparing a Patriot league team that was 11-3 last season to one that was 9-5.  Also, comparing two teams that met twice last season with each winning their home game. Silly me.

Lets go Johnnies!

Before the game starts someone should PM Xhoops and tell him its a different Justin Burrell.
