We lose by 22
CU points off turnovers 28
LU points off turnovers 6
'nuff said!

We had no answer for CU's Ivanauskas Rapolas - scores 33 (nearly at will) and boards 10

KL goes scoreless for first time this year

Joe Foley, PG of the future, shines again in limited action. As does JW.

CU launches 3's (and hits one) with 3:30 to go and up by 20+. Something to remember I might suggest.

Tired performance. Glad we get a four day break before hosting Navy on Saturday. Much need time to prepare and lick our wounds. Scoreboard watching becomes the order of the day on Wednesday as Bucky (8-2) travels to LOM (4-6), HC (3-7) hosts Army 6-4), Navy (4-6) welcomes in AU (6-4), and LC (2-8) heads to Boston (4-6). Gotta love this time of year as the Playoffs approach. You soon become fans of other teams and pull for them in what would otherwise be meaningless games. For example, on Wednesday: GO Navy! GO HC!

Glad I missed this stinker. I expect to be there Saturday for the turn around.

Ugly! I kept watching thinking they might get close ... Rough night for KL -- 4 TOs, too.

We actually outshot Colgate: 48-46.2 percent. But 21-8 TOs!

What does everyone think about the 2-day turnaround for Patriot League games in this instance? You can argue that both teams had the same disadvantage but I get the impression that the two-day turnaround after a tough, emotional win over Army was pretty tough on the Mountain Hawks and it's not surprising that there was a hangover. Colgate came into this game losing at home to BU and definitely focused on sweeping Lehigh, and they did so.

Just interesting to me because if this wasn't a TV game and played on Wednesday instead, maybe the outcome is different.

Hard to use that excuse when your opponent had a 3.5 hour drive and you are at home.

Most of the TO's reflected lack of focus and lackadaisical play; trying to force things that weren't there. Why continue to have the small guards going under the basket? One of the worst performances of a Lehigh team that I can remember. Better be a wake-up call.
