BETHLEHEM, Pa. - Lehigh returns home on Wednesday night to face the Colgate Raiders at Stabler Arena. The Mountain Hawks went 1-1 last week, including a 73-55 victory over Army on Sunday afternoon in West Point in a game in which the Brown and White placed four players in double figures and limited the Black Knights to 33% shooting from the floor. Senior Zahir Carrington led the offense with 20 points, while classmate Marquis Hall totaled 15 points, seven rebounds and seven assists. After defeating Army in its league opener on January 9 Colgate has since dropped two straight contests, including a 73-63 defeat to American on Sunday in the nation’s capital.
During Patriot League play Lehigh is averaging only 11.7 turnovers per game and is sporting a +2.3 turnover margin. Overall for the season the Mountain Hawks are second in the league in assist/turnover ratio (1.1) and third in turnovers per game (13.3).
In the last nine meetings between Lehigh and Colgate the average score has been a pedestrian-like 56 to 54 in favor of the Mountain Hawks. During that time only once has a team scored more than 70 points (Colgate, 2008). In their last four trips to Bethlehem the Raiders have not scored more than 60 points in any of the games, bottoming out with last year’s 40-point performance.
Wednesday’s game is scheduled to begin at 7:05 from Stabler Arena. Tickets may be purchased by calling 610-7LU-GAME, by logging onto Lehighsports.com or at the arena box office prior to tip-off.
