The basketball gods were not smiling on the Patriot League Saturday. Lehigh and Colgate both lost, not unexpectedly, to big time schools. American's loss to Yale was somewhat less anticipated.
Yale 70, American 53 -- Casey Hughes put Yale ahead with a alley-oop dunk 11 seconds into the second half and Yale never again trailed, ending AU's four-game win streak and Yale's six-game losing streak.
American led 29-28 at the half. But Hughes' dunk was followed by six more Yale points, part of a 10-0 run that spanned the intermission. AU closed to within 4 with 11:10 on the clock, but Yale answered with a three-pointer and the Bulldogs lead was never fewer than 6 points the rest of the way.
Yale shot 15 of 29 (51.7 percent), including 4 of 8 from the three-point arc, in the second half. Au was under 40 percent from the field each half, finishing 19 of 55 (34.5 percent) overall, 3 of 18 (16.7 percent) from the arc.
The Bulldogs dominant inside, outscoring AU 28-10 in the paint and outrebounding the Eagles 44-32. Yale had 15 offensive boards, yielding 14 second-chance points. Brayden Billbe lead AU in rebounds with 6, despite his fouling out in just 16 minutes of playing time.
In Billbe's stead, Georgetown-transfer Cornelio Guibunda saw an extended run and hit a career-high 13 points. Arvydas Eitutavicius led AU with 14 points. Andre Ingra added 10.
It was Yale's first win over a Division I team this season. The Bulldogs lost at home to Bucknell and Holy Cross during their losing streak.

(21) Syracuse 79, Colgate 52 -- Colgate managed to hang around for a half, then Syracuse turned on the jets. At the break it was 35-30 Syracuse. But while the Orangemen came out on fire and hit 64 percent of their shots (16 of 25) in the second half, including 8 of 14 from the arc, Colgate managed to make but 8 of the 31 (25.8 percent) shots it put up in the second half.
The Raiders were 1 of 10 from three-point range in the second half, 2 of 16 for the game.
Kyle Chones led Syracuse with a career-high 18 points. Jon Simon, who averaged 14.3 ppg coming in, was held to 5 points on 2 for 11 shooting and Kendall Chones managed just one point, almost 10 below his average.
The win was Syracuse's 41st in a row over Colgate, the longest such streak in the nation.

Miami (FL) 79, Lehigh 58 -- The Mountain Hawks managed to hang with the Hurricanes for a half, trailing 36-33 at the break, but could not keep pace with the ACC school in the second.
"We simply ran out of gas," said Lehigh coach Billy Taylor, who again juggled his starting lineup, with Phil Anderson replacing Bryan White at the strong forward spot, which has been a revolving door for Lehigh.
Lehigh's offense was not the problem. The Hawks shot 50 percent (24 of 48) from the field and were 7 of 18 (38.9 percent) from the arc. But Miami shot even better, going 50 percent (14 of 28) from the field the first half, 55.6 percent in the second (15 of 27). Miami also outrebounded Lehigh 33-23 and went 12 for 21 at the foul line. Lehigh shot only 6 free throws, making 3.
Jason Mgebroff led the Hawks with 12 points. Jose Olivero added 11 for Lehigh, which is still looking for its first win away from Stabler Arena.
