Always a little unsettling when other league teams have freshmen post phenomenal performances. You'll recall a couple weeks ago, Lehigh frosh Pat Andree hit on 10 of 12 three-pointers against St. Francis.
And in case you missed it, on Friday, Colgate freshman forward Will Rayman scored 34 at Lafayette.

Rayman has had a couple of big games. Not sure about his all-around game, but he can really shoot it. Should be a shoo-in for the all-rookie team, although AU's Sa'ed Nelson looks like the ROY.
Rayman had no offers when he completed his four years of HS. Opted to do a post-grad year, did well in summer AAU, and got a summer offer from CU for the following year.

Two items of note:
- Holy Cross's top freshman, Tyrone Cohen, was expelled. No reason has been given, but he was not on the bench for most if the season.
- Boston U suspended three players a couple of weeks ago: SG Cheddi Mosely, freshman forward Destin Barnes, who was off to a good start, and 7-0 center Blaise Mbargorba. No word on the reason or for how long.

This is not the thread for this post, but saw that CJ McCollum dropped a career high 43 in a win over Minnesota yesterday. He's averaging about 28 per game in Lillard's absence. So impressive the career he is having in the NBA. And he continues to seem like a super young man as well.

Lehigh started a comeback with a 17-5 run, but falls short.
Kempton was his usual self, scoring 16 I believe all in the first half. And complaining to the refs every chance he got.
American beats Colgate in OT before a packed house at Cottrell (LOL)

American missed SO many free throws to help Colgate force OT and almost win in the extra session. The Eagles hit just 13 of 31 attempts from the line.
Colgate wasn't great from the stripe either, hitting 15 of 26.

In case you watch a Colgate home game and wonder why there's a big number 13 in the keys:

American is hitting 56.8% on FTs this year, dead last in the nation. Also barely above 28% on threes, which is 338th.

I don't think that's what he's saying.
And the game at American last season should have been a win and wasn't.

We "should" win every PL game.

Yes, definitely not what I'm saying. American has been underperforming and their shooting has been much worse than it should be, but they do have some talent and are capable of playing a lot better. Since Brennan has been their coach, they have always gotten better as the season went along. I certainly wouldn't take a road win there for granted.
Last year, for example, AU began the season 2–15. From that point on they went 9-3, and then won their first round tournament game.

Yes, I was being a little facetious with my comment. However, if an opponent does shoot the ball that poorly, you should be able to get a win.

This is the highest the Bison have been since December 20, 2014. That was the year when they had close losses at Stanford and St. John's, plus good road wins at Penn State and Albany. However they collapsed in late December and much of January, and fell below #175.

Holy crap! Loyola was down double digits most of the game and came back to beat Lehigh by 1.

Trailed by nine with about 1:50 left. LU didn't make a FG for the last 3:30. Andre Walker hit a game-winning three with one second left.

Boston U crushed Navy at Annapolis. Had 19 steals. Right now Boston looks like the best team in the league, even with three players still suspended. It apparently was serious, as they have not been on the bench for a few weeks.
