By Chris A. Courogen HOOP TIME Editor
EASTON, Pa. – Long winning streaks, gaudy statistics and 20-win seasons are nice. But in a one-bid league like the Patriot League, all that really matters is getting hot at the right time.
So if you are a Holy Cross Crusaders fan, right about now your team’s 12-13 record and that four-game losing streak in the first go-around of conference play defies...

Holy Cross struggles again on road, but Navy...
By Chris A. Courogen HOOP TIME Editor
Holy Cross finally won on the road.
That was the good news.
But before fans in Worcester get too excited, they might want to watch the tape of Wednesday night’s 64-52 win over Patriot League doormat Navy.
No doubt there were some bright spots. Freshman point guard Justin Burrell hit a trio of three-pointers and led all Crusaders with a career-high...

Another road game, another struggle for Holy Cross
By Chris A. Courogen HOOP TIME Editor
Back on January 7, when Holy Cross beat Lehigh in the Patriot League opener for both teams, it looked as if maybe, just maybe, the nightmare the Crusaders have lived through the past two seasons might be coming to an end.
All things seemed possible after that win over the Mountain Hawks, the team picked in the preseason as most likely to challenge Bucknell...

Bucknell hands Holy Cross its worst defeat ever in...
By Chris A. Courogen HOOP TIME Editor
Let’s face it. The past three seasons have not exactly been glory days for the holy Cross men’s basketball program.
The Crusaders have suffered through back-to-back 20-loss seasons, the first of which was bad enough to cost Sean Kearney his job after just one year in Worcester.
Saturday night in Lewisburg, though, Holy Cross sank to a new low,...

American U. drives, Holy Cross is road kill
By Chris A. Courogen HOOP TIME Editor
After opening conference play with home wins over Lehigh and Navy, the Holy Cross Crusaders were starting to think of themselves as contenders in the Patriot League.
They might still be. But they are going to have to learn to win on the road first.
Saturday afternoon in the Nation’s Capital, the Crusaders spotted American University a big first half...

McKnight's good night gets Lehigh going in win...
By Chris A. Courogen HOOP TIME EDITOR
It was late in the game, with maybe four minutes left to play, and Mackey McKnight was having a little fun.
With a double digit lead, and a win over visiting American University all but in hand, McKnight set about killing a little clock by turning Simon McCormack into a human yo-yo.
Dribbling the ball out high above the three-point arc, McKnight made a...

John Schoof may have had his coming out party Saturday afternoon.
Or he may not have.
The history of basketball is full of one-shot wonders who have had big games here or there in otherwise unremarkable careers.
Just look at Schoof’s American University teammates if you don’t believe me. Out of 14 players on the Eagles’ roster, 10,...

Greiner's emergence gives Lehigh a shot at the top
By Chris A. Courogen HOOP TIME EDITOR
Could the Lehigh Mountain Hawks be the team to beat when Patriot League play opens up Saturday?
At least one long-time beat writer thinks so and it might not take much for others to come around to his way of thinking.
Tom Housenick, who covers the Lehigh Valley’s two teams for the Allentown Morning Call, thinks Lehigh, not Bucknell, is the favorite...

Lafayette's 4 freshmen earning their spots
By Chris A. Courogen HOOP TIME Editor
When Leopards are born, they have no spots. Even though they grow to up to be aggressive carnivores, known for their speed and strength, they start life out as helpless youngsters, hidden by their mother who moves them from spot to spot until they are grown enough to begin hunting.
They don’t eat meat until they are six or seven weeks old, and...
