Here's the AP story on Lehigh's victory over Columbia:
Lehigh 60, Columbia 57
Did I mention Columbia should have hired Kareem Abdul-Jabar? At least they'd lose in style. Lehigh blew a 15 pt. lead in the second half. Columbia's leading scorer, Dragutin Kravic, almost came to AU, but signed with Columbia at the last minute.
I went to the AU game at Howard yesterday-- Burr Gymnasium is pretty nice, has that cool "history" feel one gets going into HC's gym, but with better seating. Curious to see what the new BU arena looks like, I'm going to try to get up there for a game this year.
Howard has a point guard named Louis Ford that makes Glenn Stokes look like a giant-- the kid can't weigh more than 115 soaking wet. But he was nasty. Good matchup against Rodriguez, and the two battled all night. Close game, the kind that I've seen AU drop too many times. They hung on though, and the WashPost wrapup is
here. Rodriguez has 19 assists in the last two games.
BU and Colgate are hosting Dickinson and Buffalo, respectively, today. They both ought to win. Navy will probably get its first win of the year this Saturday in Annapolis, as they get to play non DI Gettysburg. Where are they going to get their first DI win? I have no idea. Maybe never.
