Patriot League scoreboards
| | | |
HOLY CROSS at George Mason 7 p.m.: Kevin Hamilton was on fire last week in San Juan. KHam was named to the all-tourney team after averaging 26.0 points and 5 rebounds per game, while shooting 54.5 percent from the floor and 57.1 percent from three-point range. Torey Thomas also earned all-tourney status and Alex Vander Baan probably should have been after averaged 15.7 points and 7 boards in the three games there.
But after those three, the rest of the Crusaders have been spotty. Keith Simmons is struggling with an ongoing cramping problem that has limited his playing time, Pat Doherty's foot problems have kept him off the floor, too. Kevin Hyland has been seeing plenty of action, though you'd hardly notice. You won't miss Tim Clifford, he is big and the officials keep pointing at him and signaling his number. Colin Cunningham and Lawrence Dixon are promising freshmen, but the emphasis there is on freshmen.
The Crusaders should get better as their collective health improves enough for Ralph Willard to conduct productive practices. The problems up front will be less a factor in league play, where most of the other teams are in the same situation.
Mason is not real big up front. They have a fleet of 6-7 types, but none taller. Mason is pretty good, though. Just ask American, who got blown out by the Patriots three weeks ago. That was game two of a six game stretch that has improved Mason's record to 6-3 after a 1-2 start that included an OT loss to No. 18 Wake Forest.
According to the Mason notes:

COLGATE vs. Georgetown 9 p.m.: The question entering Colgate's first round game at the : Who is going to guard Georgetown center ? The 7-2, 283-pound sophomore is the Hoyas leading scorer (13.9 ppg) and second-leading rebounder (6.8 rpg).
