A perfect 3-0 day for league teams includes a win for the Patriot League in the Hoop Time-Basketball U challenge series with the Ivies.
Holy Cross 65, Siena 57 -- Torey Thomas had 20 points and Keith Simmons posted an 18-points, 11-rebounds double-double. But it was Alex Vander Baan who had the bog bucket, putting back a Tim Clifford miss with 2:42 to play that gave HC a lead it would hold the rest of the way. Vander Baan's bucket part of an 11-points, 10-rebounds double-double for the sophomore forward. It was Vander Baan's first double-double, and the 10 rebounds were a career high, as were his 4 steals.
Vander Baan and Simmons efforts on the boards helped Holy Cross to a 43-21 advantage on the boards. Included were 21 offensive rebounds by the Crusaders -- a key stat in a game in which HC was outshot from the field. Siena shot 21 of 45 (46.7 from the field); HC just 23 for 57 (40.4 percent) including 3 of 17 from three-point range. But with the Crusaders grabbing more of their own misses than Siena (15 def. reb.), the 16 second chance points those offensive rebounds led to were the difference.
Worth noting: Ralph Willard's rotation waqs very tight for this one. Colin Cunningham drew a starting spot at the three, with Patrick Doherty coming off the bench after starting HC's first two games. Doherty's 18 minutes the only bench player in double digit minutes. Greg McCarthy saw 9 minutes, mostly relieving Tim Clifford at center. The Big Purple Dog's 24 minutes were the least of any HC starter.
Vander Baan went 38 minutes, more even than workhorse point guard Thomas (37) or Simmons (34). Lawrence Dixon, still working his way back from an injury, played 7 minutes. Freshman Eric Meister was down to just 4 minutes in this one and fellow frosh Andrew Keister did not leave the bench.

Colgate 55, Dartmouth 43 -- Colgate gets into the win column behind a 14-point performace by Kendall Chones and a defense that held Dartmouth to 30.8 percent from the field.
Perhaps the most notable thing about the box score is not the absence of anyone else in double figures for Colgate, nor that three-pointer happy Colgate only made one (of six) from the arc all night. More notable than both those items is the absence of fifth-year senior Marc Daniels. Daniels, listed as a probable starter on Colgate's pregame notes, did not play. No word on why.
In Daniels stead, coach Emmett Davis started a small lineup with Kendall CHones (6-6) and Kyle Chones (6-5) up front and Jon Simon (5-11), Tim Pounds (6-4) and Daniel Waddy (6-2) in the backcourt. The Raiders stayed small most of the game, too. Backup big Alex Woodhouse (6-8) played only 10 minutes.
For what it is worth, Colgate still managed to dominate the boards, 55-43.

Army 62, Hartford 53 --Matt Bell (17 points) and Jarrell Brown (16) lead the Black Knights to their third win in four outings. Freshman guard Marcus Nelson also tossed in 12 for Army, with 6 assists.
Army played tough defense, holding Hartford to 34.6 percent from the field. The Black Knights rebounded well, too, holding a 38-28 edge on the boards.
An announced crowd of 532 cared enough to watch in West Point. Army (3-1) has already won as many games againats D-I foes as it did last season. Its the best start for an Army team since 1987-88, when they last started 3-1 with three wins over D-I opposition (3-1 starts 1996-97 and 2001-02 don't count -- two of the wins each season were over non D-I teams).
