BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Lehigh men's basketball team held its annual Media Day on Friday, along with the women's squad, as the Mountain Hawks draw closer to their season opener next Wednesday at St. John's. Murray H. Goodman '48 Head Coach Brett Reed along with junior Gabe Knutson and senior captain Jordan Hamilton met with various media outlets to discuss the upcoming season.
“I've really gotten a sense from our student-athletes how excited they are to start the season and play against outside competition,” said Reed. “We've been working very hard, week after week and even from our conditioning to our skill instruction and our weight training, for the opportunity to face somebody else. I know they're confident in their ability. We have been working hard; I hope that ultimately we will see the dividends of all our hard work and sacrifice thus far.”
Lehigh has a busy first week of the 2011-12 season, traveling to St. John's for an ESPN2 showdown Wednesday night (7 p.m.) before heading to Iowa State for a 2 p.m. ET tipoff on Saturday, Nov. 12. Predicted second in the Patriot League preseason poll, the Mountain Hawks return 76.9 percent of their scoring and 78.4 percent of their rebounding from a year ago led by junior C.J. McCollum, who is the nation's leading returning scorer (21.8 points per game as a sophomore).
