Lehigh (9-4, 2-0 Patriot) at Holy Cross (10-5, 1-1 Patriot) – 7:05 PM EST (Patriot League Network)
Tonight (and yes, it really tonight) the UTR Game of the Day travels up to Worcester, Massachusetts where the Holy Cross Crusaders will play host to the Lehigh Mountain Hawks in a matchup of early Patriot League leaders. Holy Cross is a perfect 4-0 at home that includes a seven-point win over Loyola-MD in their league opener. However, the Crusaders missed a chance to advance to 2-0 in league play after a tough 50-48 loss at Navy in their last outing. As a team, Holy Cross leads the league with only 65.3 points allowed per game. Jacob Grandison leads the Crusaders with 15.3 points per game and 5.3 rebounds per game.
Lehigh has started off league play by holding serve at home against archrival Lafayette and against Loyola-MD. This will be their first road test in league play – they are 3-4 in true road games so far this year with wins at Monmouth, Siena and Mount St. Mary’s (with losses at Kansas State, Miami-FL, Yale, and at West Virginia). Pat Andree leads Lehigh with 15.5 PPG and 6.2 RPG; Kyle Leufroy also averages 14.5 PPG and 5.4 RPG for the Mountain Hawks as well.
