The Lehigh Valley contingent will carry the patriot League flag into action tonight, with Lafayette playing host to Mount Saint Mary's while Lehigh is at Rutgers.
For Lehigh, which has not won away from Stabler Arena this season, the challenge of taking on a Big East team got even tougher with the Jason Mgebroff. With 7-foot sophomre John Gourlay also out with an injury, Billy Taylor will have to use skinny 6-9 Phillip Anderson at the five.
Rutgers' J.R. Inman is 6-9 and leads the Scarlet Knights in scoring (12.7 ppg) and rebounding (7 rpg). But after that, Rutgers is not real big. Freshman Hamady N'Diaye is 6-11 with tremendous upside, but the native of Senegal is still learning the game. Senior Adrian Hill (6-8) starts and averages 7.6 points and 5.6 rebounds.
It has been an interesting season for normally defensive-minded Lehigh. The Mountain Hawks are averaging over 72 points per game. Rutgers, on the other hand, has just one guy (Inman) averaging in double figures and is scoring 62.2 points per game.
As we wrote in the Lehigh preview for Blue Ribbon, with Jose Olivero, Lehigh always has a punchers chance.

Mount St. Mary's at Lafayette -- () A winnable game for the Leopards, who have won four of their last five after an 0-5 start. Admittedly, two of those wins have been against Division 3 teams, and the Leopards had trouble putting D3 Kings away their last time out. But from afar we tend to view that as a rare situation where Lafayett might actually have taken an opponent lightly.
Mount St. Mary's comes in 2-8, with losses in six of its past seven, including a 59-46 loss at home to American. The Mount has yet to win in 6 games away from Knott Arena.
