MORE UNINTERESTING GAMES
Sheesh. There are four games this weekend and all four should be relatively straightforward.
-AU should dominate tempo against Lafayette, and shoot decent in their own gym.
-Holy Cross' D will clamp down on Colgate
-Bucknell will be another Army loss
-And Lehigh... will beat Navy?
I'm not sure about that last one. Navy looked real good on Wednesday when I saw them. Their guys hustle more than any other team I'm seen this year. Coach Billy Lange is a freaking madman, clapping his hands and yelling at his team to clap their hands. At one point I thought he was going to attack an assistant coach. The last few years I saw AU play Navy, there seemed to be little energy from their end of the bench. They'd play hard, sure, but they wouldn't play quick. These guys are not afraid to shoot, and one of these nights they're going to get hot and beat a top tier PL team.
There's not a lot to say about the Navy game, other than that AU's press break sucks. Someone has mentioned that on the message board before, but it's so true. The lack of a decent press break is what killed them in the UMD and Mizzou games, and it almost came back to bite them in this contest.
