The Leopards run the table during February, and end the month as Patriot League champions once again.
We get double-doubles from
Matt Robles (10p/11r) and
Tim Hutchinson (10p/13r) as we avenge our earlier loss to Navy, and Robles pours in 26 to lead us over American. Matt schools
James Zimmer, whom we really wanted to sign as a high school senior two years ago.
The highlights of our big win at Bucknell are 23 points from
Thomas Lucy and the return to action of
Matthew Ackerman, who gives us 12 points in 14 minutes off the bench.
Colgate nearly spoils Senior Day for
Tim Hutchinson and
Jamie Kelso. The next week, we fall behind Army, but we storm back and outscore them 40-17 in the second half. Following that victory, we make our first appearance in the national polls.
We clinch the Patriot League title at Lehigh, when
Asdrubal Cruz tips in a
Tim Hutchinson miss with 14 seconds left, and we get a crucial stop at the other end of the floor. That outcome makes the Holy Cross game more of a victory lap.
