Lehigh survives Simon barrage
Jon Simon was 8 for 11 from the three-point arc, but it was not enough to lift Colgate over the Mountain Hawks.

Simon's 28-point night included a 35-footer at the buzzer. But it was rendered meaningless by a Jose Olivero free throw with 1.1 seconds to play that gave Lehigh a 4-point cushion.

Lehigh's 60-59 win was its seventh in eight home games this season and its seventh in a row at home in league play, dating to last season.

Kendall Chones added 12 points for the Raiders, who shot over 40 percent (21 of 49 - 42.9 percent) for just the second time in 10 games. The loss was the sixth in the last seven games for Colgate (6-11 overall, 1-3 Patriot).

Olivero lead Lehigh with 20 points. Kyle Neptune added 11 and Skinny Phil Anderson added 10. It was Anderson's third straight double-figures effort.

Neither team shot particularly well at the free throw line. Colgate was 8 for 16 at the stripe; Lehigh 11 for 18. But Olivero, who was 9 for 11 at the line, made the one that mattered most.
