At least Lehigh losing so often should be a kick to Kempton's ego.
At the moment, he is probably alternating between whining and blaming his teammates.

Playing the 11/12 man rotation may help with those Monday/ Wednesday swings. Is it better to have both of those Monday games as they are, in Lewisburg?

Zach hit some key shots to re-establish our dominance the couple of times AU got within 10. He was, as he has been before, key in the clutch. That said, I am more and more seeing Kimbal Mac emerge as a key, if not yet THE key player on this team. Right now Nana, Zach and Mac are the big 3, with a strong cast of supporting partners.

Methinks you neglect #2. Mr. Brown got us rolling last night and made some key defensive plays as well.

I'm curious to see how tonight's second-place, Navy at Boston University showdown goes (7pm, Patriot League Network).
In their first meeting, BU won at Navy 71-53, and Navy hasn't lost since. Loser will be in sole possession of third place.

BU rallies from 9 down to take a 2 point lead, then commits a flagrant foul and gives up a 3 in the last 2.5 seconds to go into the half down 3.

Who has the longest winning streak in the PL? Hint: it is not Bucknell.

That'd be Navy, with a 70-61 win tonight, at 8 games

In fairness, they did get an extra day! Both teams were chippy and physical. Navy playing with great togetherness, and simply making shots and defending their rear ends off.
Key to this game though, was essentially Big East/A-10 officiating crew. Tim Kelly, Jeff Clark, and Paul Faia, shut down the chippy stuff each time it started up. Never let it get out of control. You get that playing on a Thursday night. Not getting that crew on Wednesday or Saturday.
Lot of hoop still to go. On to Hamilton for Navy tomorrow.

With the Navy loss, teams playing with one day of rest are 0-6 now in league play.
2.5 game lead with for Bucknell with 7 games to go, things are looking good for the Bison.

Boston not only continues to have three players suspended - getting close to 8 weeks now - but now Nick Havener, a solid PF/C was benched for disciplinary reasons as well. Sounds like Havener won't be out as long.

Lafayette led Boston 41 to 40 at the half, and I thought there might be a chance for the bison to get some help. Unfortunately Lafayette then went scoreless for the first 8:45 of the second half. The game is not over, but Lafayette now trails by 20. With time winding down, LC has scored 12 points in the second half.
Btw, Havener is still not playing - nor are the other three suspended players.

Max Mahoney is better than Havener and was a hot commodity with PL schools.
Tough 41-hour turnaround for Navy. Had nothing early in the game, and yet still had chance to win down 1 with under :30 left.
Loyola is still the dark horse here. Walker is really good, when he is going, they are tough.
Bucknell, still, the class of the group right now.

Mahoney was a hot PL commodity, and he will ultimately be better than Havener. However I don't think he is as good now, nor does Joe Jones. In PL games, Havener averages about 19 mpg, while Mahoney gets closer to 11 mpg. And Havener almost always plays ahead of Mahoney.
The difference is at the defensive end. Havener plays pretty good defense and is Boston's leading shot blocker. Mahoney is weak at the defensive end and commits an incredible 8 fouls per 40 minutes. He also almost never blocks a shot. Havener is also shooting almost 65% for the year.
