So far a predicted winter storm has not struck the Hoop Time World Headquarters in Central Pa., but conditions were frigid Saturday for Lehigh at Central Connecticut.
Marquis Hall finished with 13 points. But Lehigh's leading scorer was 3 for 15 from the field in the Mountain Hawks' 65-55 loss to CCSU (2-5). You might see where this one is going.
The Hawks (3-5) shot 21 for 49 from the field, a misleading 42.9 percent. Take away a combined 10 for 14 from Zahir Carrington (13 points) and freshman Rob keefer (12) and the rest of the Lehigh roster was 11 for 35 (31.4 percent).
Lehigh's defense held CCSU to a 19 of 49 night from the field (38 percent), but 9 threes on 20 tries and 18 points from the free throw line -- double what Lehigh earned at the stripe, were the difference. CCSU went 18 for 27 on free throws, Lehigh was perfect, but only shot 9.
