For those of us who can't get enough basketball talk, here's a little something that I hope will draw your interest and comment. I speak of our upcoming OOC schedule.

Lehigh is historically one of the latest - if the latest - PL team to make official their schedule each year (Sept. 3rd in 2007, Sept. 28th in 2006, and Sept. 14 in 2005). Here we go again this year. The dog days of August are upon us and the countdown is underway. Others have announced; when will we? Will we beat the season-opener in football, Sept. 6th?

Surfing the net, I have uncovered the following:

> We will NOT see 4 of our 14 OOC opponents from last year. There may be more, as other schools make official their calendars, but already we know Penn State, CCSU, Quinnipiac, and Cornell will be missing in action this year.

> We await word on 6 of our 14 OOC 2007 opponents. They are: St. Peter's, Maryland, Stoney Broook, Harvard, Monmouth, and Princeton. Perhaps all will fall into place in the days ahead.

> Home dates on the LU calendar include:
St. Francis (PA) - Nov. 24
Albany - Dec. 8
Columbia - Jan. 2

> Away dates on the LU calendar include:
Dartmouth - Nov. 29
Washington - Dec. 23
NJIT - Dec. 31


The trip West to take on the Huskies of Washington shouldn't come as a surprise, knowing both David Safstrom (7' Sophomore Center) and Jordan Hamilton (6'5" Freshman Forward) hail from Everett and Seattle, respectively.

Updates would be much appreciated.

You can add two more home games.......

Delaware State (MEAC) 11/17
Rider (MAAC) 11/20


A St. Joe's press release dated 7/14 mentioned the Hawks would be coming to Bethlehem this year. Still looking to confirm date and time.

Nice to see that Longwood (9-22 last year)added us to the brutal schedule which includes Kentucky, West Virginia, and Florida. Also, there's talk of us going to the RAC (Rutgers), down the Jersey Shore (Monmouth) and out on the Island (Stony Brook) this year, as well. While the AD's at each won't commit to "if" and "when" we'll play, it makes sense based on our prior two year schedules. Anyway, if all falls into place, we should host seven at home and travel to six. Who knows, we may pick up a 14th game along the way (are we really traveling to Seattle, Washington for one game?) to match last year's OOC schedule.


At Stabler:

Del. State - 11/17
Rider - 11/20
St. Francis (PA) - 11/24
St. Joe's - 12/2 (tentative)
Albay - 12/8
Longwood - 12/28
Colulmbia - 1/2


On the Road:

Dartmouth - 11/29
Washington - 12/23
NJIT - 12/31


To be added on the Road:

Rutgers
Stony Brook
Monmouth

What do ya know! We finalized our upcoming schedule in August - undoubtedly a first for the slow moving Mountain Hawks.

To the names above, you can add additional games on the road against the Peacocks of St. Peter's and the Tigers of Princeton. All in all, a 29 game slate (15 OOC and 14 PL). Stabler will play host to 7 OOC and 7 PL contests. A more in-depth analysis to follow.
