Lafayette needed to use its starters to the end to get past a Division 3 team last night. Navy had no such problems against its D3 foe.
Lafayette 89, King's 80 -- Fran O'Hanlon understanably not thrilled with the defensive effort after needing to keep his starters on the floor at the end of a game against a Division 3 team. It took the 'Pards 16 three-pointers to get past the Monarchs. | |
Navy 83, Washington (Md.) 37 -- Seeing what happened to Lehigh's Jason Mgebroff in a game against a D3 foe, some might wonder why Billy Lange had Greg Sprink on the floor long enough to score 27 points in this one. But a look at the box score shows Sprink only played 22 minutes. Most on the team, but not a lot. Still, with the league play right around the corner, wouldn't this have been a place for Clif Colbert to play more than 7 minutes. Or maybe give seldom-used senior Calvin White some of Sprink's minutes and save your best player for when he is needed? Just a thought. |
