A full weekend in the Patriot League gets underway with three games tonight.
Topping the bill is St. Joseph's at Lafayette . It's the first of two meetings with league teams this weekend for Saint Joe's. The Hawks opened the season with a over a Fairfield team that took American and Holy Cross both to overtime last week. The Hawks will be without the services of highly touted freshman point guard Darrin Govens, who will have on a hand broken in that Fairfield game. Govens is out indefinitely.
Saint Joe's also takes on Bucknell this weekend, hosting the Bison Sunday at Saint Joe's Fieldhouse.
CORNELL AT LEHIGH: A guy with a jet pack, or maybe a helicopter, could almost catch two games in the Lehigh Valley tonight. Two hours before the 9 p.m. tip at Lafayette, they'll toss it up in Stabler Arena, where Lehigh plays host to Cornell in a game that bears watching closely. Cornell comes in at 2-0, including a season-opening win at Northwestern, which might be the doormat of the Big Ten, but is still a Big Ten team. The Big Red will be , last season's Ivy Rookie of the Year and Cornell's leading returning scorer. Gore, who put up 15 on Lehigh in the Big Red's win in Ithaca last season, suffered a season-ending knee injury in the opener. Without Gore, Cornell beat Stony Brook Monday and will be looking to secure its first 3-0 start since 1996-97.
The Mountain Hawks (0-3) are off to their worst start of the Billy Taylor era. The last time a Lehigh team failed to get a win in one of its first three games was in 2001, when they began Sal Mentesana's last season 0-7. A win here will do wonders for this young team's psyche.
AMERICAN AT RICHMOND -- A , who is off to a hot start after putting up 19 in one game and 24 in the next for the 2-0 Eagles.
Little known fact about Ingram, who is a physics major: As a senior in high school he was the 2003 Richmond Times-Dispatch boys' scholar-athlete of the year.
The Spiders are a young team, heavy on sophomores and freshmen, picked to finish in the bottom third of the Atlantic 10. AU is an experienced bunch some think will challenge for the Patriot League title.
This is the type game AU had trouble winning last season, on the road and out of conference. The Eagles were 4-12 in away games last season, 1-7 in non-conference road tilts. This one could give some insight into the 2006 Eagles' pedigree.
