Leopards to test Mt. St. Mary's
At the start of the season, you'd have looked at this game on the schedule and said this would be a good night to get some Christmas shopping done. That would have been before Lafayette and Mount St. Mary's combined to win 12 of their last 13 games.


Stephen Miller of the Morning Call (link below) says Andrew Brown, who sat out the win at Towson with plantar fasciitis might be back for this one. Paul Cummins' hyperextended knee is "day to day."

SCOUTING MOUNT ST. MARY'S: The Mount was 9-4 a month ago following a 66-45 home loss to American. Since then, they have won six in a row. Jeremy Goode (5-9 soph.) and 6-0 senior Chris Vann both averaged 15.4 ppg. Vann is the shooter -- he is hitting 46.8 percent from the arc. Will Howard, a 6-4 sophomore, is also averaging in double figures at 10.6 ppg.

The win streak is Mount's longest in more than 10 years and its second longest since they moved to Division I in 1988 )MSM won 15 straight during the 1995-96 season).

Defense has been the key to the win streak. Opponents have shot 37.4 percent and have averaged under 60 ppg in that six-game stretch.
