Busy Wednesday night ahead
Five games on tap tonight: Holy Cross gets a slight breather, visiting Yale before jumping back into the fire Saturday at Dayton. From there the Crusaders, who will play four road games in an 11-day stretch, head to Duke, with a game at Providence awaiting Dec. 19 after a break for finals. Crusaders need to avoid the trap game here.

Another tough one tonight is Bucknell's visit to St. Francis (Pa.). The Bison upperclassmen won't take the Red Flash lightly. The last time the two met, St. Francis beat Bucknell in Sojka (70-65 on Nov. 22, 2004) in the game that gave birth to this site. That was Bucknell's only home loss that season.

The Bison need a win to build off of the win at Yale as they head into a key weekend with back-to-back games against Northern Iowa and George Mason. Like Holy Cross, they cannot look past tonight's foe. St. Francis has won the last two meetings of these two and the Bison are 4-6 all-time in Loretto, where they have not won since Dec. 1, 1999.

Colgate is at home, hosting a 2-2 Quinnipiac team that lost two members when they were arrested Friday. American hosts a 2-4 NJIT team that does have wins over Rider and Manhattan. Lehigh is also home, against Div. 3 Swarthmore.
