Colgate (13-4, 4-0) at Lafayette (10-5, 2-2) – 11:00 AM EST (WatchStadium.com)
Today’s UTR Game of the Day takes us to Easton, Pennsylvania for a special morning edition between the hometown Lafayette Leopards and the league-leading Colgate Raiders. This is a “field day” game that will have dozens of school kids in attendance. The Leopards began league play by dropping a game at Boston University in the closing seconds and had a hangover effect in a home loss to Bucknell. They did rebound with wins against Holy Cross and Loyola-Maryland to move up to 2-2 in Patriot League play. Justin Jaworski leads Lafayette with 18 points a game.
Colgate is currently on a seven-game winning streak; their signature win came in come-from-behind fashion at Cincinnati back in mid-December. In Patriot League play, the Raiders won their first four games, including wins at home against American and Loyola and road wins at Army and Navy. Rapolas Ivanauskas averages 13.2 points a game and 7.6 rebounds a game for the Raiders.
