Under The Radar Game of the Day – Monday, January 9th

Colgate (9-7, 3-0) at Army-West Point (9-7, 3-0) – 7:00 PM ET (CBS Sports Network)

Tonight’s UTR Game of the Day will pit two of the top teams in the Patriot League and may or may not have the eyes of the nation perched upon it; all it’s missing is radio feeds from Colgate and Army and a live marching band feed. Colgate has already gotten out of the “gate” with a pair of road wins against Loyola-Baltimore and Lehigh. Most recently, they held off Navy 87-73 at home despite facing an 18-point deficit at one point during the first half.

Army has had a similar path to Colgate in their first 3 games – only they have played Lafayette so far along with the aforementioned Lehigh and Loyola teams. Jalen Rucker went off for 35 points (including 6 3-pointers) in Army’s most recent 78-55 victory against Loyola. The Black Knights begin a stretch tonight where 4 of the next 5 games will be played in the comfortable confines of Christl Arena.
