Keep in mind, Lehigh was a near unanimous pick to win the league. And here they are mired in 4th with 4 games to play. Great players make the players around them better. Kempton does not.
For those who have forgotten, Lehigh was one vote short of being a unanimous pick. This is what the poll results looked like:
2016-17 Patriot League Preseason Poll Points
1. Lehigh (17 first place votes) 161
2. Boston University (3) 139
3. Bucknell 132
4. Holy Cross 115
5. American 86
6. Colgate 83
7. Loyola Maryland 69
8. Navy 49
9. Lafayette 43
10. Army West Point 23
The biggest underachievers, based on the poll, are Lehigh and American, although American has a bit of an excuse having lost a big man to injury. Navy is clearly the biggest overachiever, with the Bison being second in that category.
