(Originally posted 12:55 a.m., Updated at 7:15 a.m. and again at 6:10 p.m.)
Lehigh 65, Navy 58 -- In Bethlehem, Joe Knight made his season debut, coming off the bench with about 16 minutes to play in the first half. Knight, who sat out Lehigh's first 16 games due to an NCAA-imposed suspension, was Lehigh's leading scorer last season, despite shooting just 38 percent from the field. Knight apparently did not spend his time off working on his shot. The senior guard missed his first 10 shots and finished 2-11 from the field (NOTE: When we posted the first update at 12:55 a.m., we included the 2-11 line, which came from the box score. When we updated this morning with more details and links, we added the "missed his first 10 shots" part, which we saw in the Express-Times story. As an e-mailer who must have majored in math pointed out, those two scenarios do not add up. Lehigh did not post the whole play-by-play, so we cannot tell exactly how many Knight missed before hitting one.) , 0-5 from three-point range. But he dished off 9 assists and Jose Olivero had 16 points as the Mountain Hawks improve to 2-0 in conference play, 9-8 overall.
Navy actually shot better (39 percent to 38 percent) than Lehigh and out rebounded the Mountain Hawks 45-37. But the Mids turned the ball over 20 times.
Holy Cross 84, Army 46 -- It was Keith Simmons' Hudson Valley homecoming and he celebrated in style, going 9-11 from the field, including 6-7 from three-point range for 26 points as Holy Cross romped past Army.
Kevin Hamilton and Torey Thomas also had big nights. Hamilton added 21 and Thomas finished with 16 points to go with 7 assists.
The Crusaders shot 57 percent from the field and held Army to 34 percent.
Matt Bell's 13 points led Army. Cory Sinning chipped in with 10.
Lafayette 85, Colgate 74 -- Trailing 26-23 late in the first half, the Leopards went on a 13-1 run to surge ahead and led the rest of the way.
Andrei Capusan, Lafayette's 6-7 senior forward, was en fuego, hitting all six shots he took in the first half and four of five in the second, finishing 10-of-11 for 21 points.
The fact that Capusan only went to the foul line once might tell you a little about the aggressiveness of Colgate's defense. Lafayette's 60.4 percent shooting from the field (29-48) might also tell you something about the Raiders' D.
Lafayette's D was a little better, especially on Colgate guard Alvin Reed, who got off the bus needing 15 points to reach 1,000 for his college career and got back on it still needing 13 after a 1-for-8 night.
As a team, Colgate shot 25-for-57 (43.9 percent).
Another troubling sign for Colgate: Against a Lafayette team that is anything but strong in the frontcourt, the Raiders were outrebounded 31-26.
Jamaal Hilliard added a season-high 20 for the Leopards. Andrew Brown and Matt Betley added 10 each.
Four in double figures for Colgate, led by Jon Simon's 19. Kyle Roemer added 16. Kendall Chones came off the bench to add 15 and his brother Kyle had 10 for Colgate, which fell to 7-9 overall, 1-1 in the league.
The win evens the Leopards at 7-7, 1-1 in league play while Colgate drops to 7-9 overall, 1-1 in the league.
