Yes, playing Colgate and Loyola on the road with one day of rest in between will be a major challenge. Colgate is a very experienced team and is good enough to beat the Bison on the right night. Loyola seemingly is week this year, but they have been killed by injuries and may be mostly healthy by January 17th. Their injury list this season:
- Lost All-PL PG Andre Walker for 3 games.
- Lost starter Andrew Kostecka for a number of games.
- Lost starter Chuck Champion for the first 5 games. Champion is averaging over 17 ppg since his return.
- Lost Jame Fives, who had started in Champion's place.
- Lost freshman Brent Holcomb, who had been averaging 18 mpg.
- Didn't have freshman River Reed for the first 7 games. He is averaging over 20 mpg since his return.
- Lost starter Chancellor Barnard for the year due to a torn pectoral muscle.
Barnard isn't coming back this year - but if everyone else on the above list gets healthy, I think Loyola is a middle-of-the-pack team who could surprise some of the better teams.
