In response to HoleinOne
The only big Lehigh has who plays near the basket is freshman James Karnik, who definitely had a good game vs the Bison. Their only other player taller than 6-5 is Pat Andree, who offensively is a SG in a PF's body. He plays out by the arc most of the time, shooting threes. He has attempted 79 twos this year vs 154 threes. Hitting 45% on the threes - and 52% in PL play.
Fwiw, Lehigh ranks 7th in the league in defensive rebounding and 7th in the league in offensive rebounding. Also 9th in the league in blocks and 7th in steals. Overall they are 9th in defense - but 1st in offense due mostly to their incredible shooting on threes. They are dead last in 2-point FG pct.
One thing that won't happen this year is for Foulland to beat them, as he did in the championship game last year. In that game, Reed assumed - incorrectly - that Kempton didn't need any help on Nana. Nana ended up shooting 8-12 against him. In both games this year, LU has doubled Nana every time he touches the ball, daring the rest of the Bison to beat them. In that case, it comes down to a few other players needing to produce some offense.
