Lehigh welcomes Stony Brook to Stabler Arena

12/4/2007 12:00:00 AM | Men's Basketball

Lehigh welcomes the Stony Brook Seawolves to Stabler Arena this evening as the Mountain Hawks try and snap a two-game skid.  The Brown and White fell to Central Connecticut State on Saturday afternoon 65-55 on the road as Lehigh was out rebounded 37-26 and shot only nine free throws to the Blue Devils’ 27.  Sophomore Zahir Carrington continued his strong play for the Mountain Hawks as he hit five-of-seven shots en route to a team-high 13 points, while freshman Rob Keefer tied his career-high with 12 points.  Stony Brook enters tonight looking to win its second straight game after convincingly beating Dartmouth 70-43 on Saturday at home.  That win broke a six-game losing streak for the Seawolves which included four road games, including at Villanova and Kentucky.

 

The Mountain Hawks are shooting 71 percent from the foul line this season, and have shot a higher percentage than their opponent in every game but two.  Unfortunately, Lehigh has taken 27 less free throws than its opponents (147 to 174). 

 

Lehigh is currently third in the Patriot League and 40th in the nation in three-point field goal percentage, hitting .404 percent from deep.  That is a huge improvement over the past six seasons when the Mountain Hawks failed to hit at least 40 percent of their three-point tries. 

 

Wednesday’s tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 pm from Stabler Arena.  Tickets can be purchased at the arena box office prior to tip-off.
