A sweep. One hell of a game. Ugly but nip and tuck all thru
IIR we wer down by 6 going into the last few minutes. Andcwe did it. This team matches well with Nvay and we are a much tougher team than we were in the beginning of the season.

Stunning, breathless finish for the 1,000+ in attendance, including me! And not bad on the ESPN+ replay either. An all-timer !!! Competitive first half, followed by a lethargic and cold shooting Lehigh who found themselves down 60-43 at 5:09 left and 60-45 at 2:49.

There's no way to describe the last couple minutes. You have to watch the replay. Lehigh out-scored The Mids 18-2 to steal it. Navy did just enough wrong. And we finally woke up and played an electric brand of pressure basketball to earn one of most stunning, unlikely comeback wins I've seen in person.

Nic Lync MVP in this one, but everybody contributed.

Did not see that comeback coming. Down 17 nearing the last media timeout, Lehigh wasn't making shots and looked beaten. They didn't seem able to handle Navy's zone defense.

I don't what was said in the huddle during that timeout but it was all Lehigh from then on. Navy couldn't handle Lehigh's press and suddenly Lehigh couldn't miss. Lynch made a couple of huge threes, Taylor was getting to the basket and everybody that was sent to the line made their shots.

That's the kind of win that can turn a season around

Wow, that’s a hell of a win down 12 with 2:38 to go. Insane. Sorry I missed that one. Lynch has become a pretty good 3 point shooter late in his career.
