Meanwhile, in Worcester
Jen Toland of the Worcester Telegram&Gazette checks in this morning with a piece on Kevin Hamilton and the Holy Cross Crusaders' upcoming trip to Puerto Rico.

Toland says:HC coach Ralph Willard calls this week of practice "Basketball 101." It's back to the fundamentals, and "reinforcing things over and over," Hamilton said.We realize HC fans have been spoiled in recent seasons. But really, what has happened to the Crusaders this season is not unfamiliar to others around the league. Teams having winning records in non-conference play have been the exception, not the norm, in the league.

But given Hamilton's health woes, which are well-documented in Toland's story, and the reliance on freshmen to carry a significant load, HC's 4-4 record is actually pretty decent.

Without a healthy Pat Doherty, depth will be an issue for the Crusaders. But in league play, it will be less a factor. Other than Bucknell, and maybe Navy (which runs waves of people at you), who else in the Patriot goes any deeper?
