American 65, Army 63, 2OT -- It took two extra periods, but American eventually managed to get past stubborn Army. You might also argue it took a little luck, since the Eagles only managed to force the two extra periods thanks to three-pointers by Andre Ingram, who fouled out in the second OT, leaving with 13 points. Linas Lekavicius led AU with 15, including 4 in the second OT. Freshman sniper Derrick Mercer added 13.
Jarrell Brown led Army with 22 points.
From the sound of Dan Steinberg's , it was a game neither team seemed to want to win at times. The two teams combined shot 38.7 percent from the field, leading Steinberg to refer to the rim in Bender as "much abused."
From Steinberg's account:
Meanwhile, in the sopa opera called "Which Patriot League Big Man is in His Coach's Dog House Now," Army's 6-11 junior stringbean Jimmy Sewell had 5 rebounds, 4 points and 3 blocks in 28 minutes while American's 6-11 Paulius Joneliunas only got off the bench for 7 minutes of a game that lasted 50.
Sewell's minutes were his most all season. Sewell, a starter early in the season, had clearly fallen out of favor with Jim Crews. Before the American game, he had seen more than 10 minuts just once in the Cadets prior 10 games, getting 12 minuts at Lehigh. In the 9 games before Lehigh, Sewell averaged 2.2. minutes with three DNPs.
Lehigh 53, Colgate 45 -- Lehigh's first win in Hamilton since the first season the Patriot League played hoops (1990-91) snaps a 14-game losing streak for the Engineers and Mountain Hawks at Colgate.
It was an ugly, defensive affair with the two teams combining for nearly as many turnovers (31) as field goals (36). Lehigh was 16-for-42 from the field (38.1 percent), 1-of-11 from the arc. Colgate had more field goals, but also missed more shots, going 20-for-56 (35.7 percent), 2-for-18 on three-point tries.
The big difference: Lehigh went to the foul line 31 times and made 20. Colgate only got to the line 6 times all night, making 3.
Joe Knight had 14 for Lehigh, which won its sixth in a row. Jose Olivero added 13.
Alvin Reed (14) and Kendall Chones (12) in double figures for Colgate, which has lost three in a row and six of its last eight. The loss spoiled the night for Reed, who became the 24th player in 'Gate history to score 1,000 career points.

From Steinberg's account:
Army had the ball and a three-point lead with less than 30 seconds remaining in regulation. The Black Knights (4-12, 0-4) had the ball and a three-point lead with less than 30 seconds left in the first overtime.Even after AU went up 7 in the second OT, they nearly gave it away by shooting 1-for-6 at the free throw line in the final 30 seconds.
