One of the worst played D1 games I can remember. Out of control play, bad passing.....and 21...yes TWENTY ONE turnovers, just for us! Monmouth had 12. And we still won, mainly because Monmouth is not very good. And we shot the lights out when we didn't throw the ball away. But its a win......
To be fair, J.T.Tan led the turnover parade with 5, but was the game's leading rebounder with 9. He worked hard for every one. Tan (6'8") was out sized by their bigs, 3 @ 6'9", as well as 6'10" and 7'1"....
Up next, Maryland Eastern Shore in Princess Anne, Md. We need to play a clean game to beat this traditionally scrappy group of "Shore Hawks".
Monmouth game....
Re: Monmouth game....
Yes, I was there among the 'throng' of about 350. I laughed when I got home and my wife asked how the game was, as I described it as "entertaining" but not because the quality of play was good. As mentioned, I couldn't believe the poor control we had of the ball and lack of coordination as a unit on the court. We have some very good talent, but very 'rough around the edges'. I look forward to the two big frosh getting better. They bring a much needed physicality Lehigh has lacked for awhile, but at the moment are not ready for 'prime time'. We had some great outside shooting..Taylor was sensational and Higgins, Whitney, and Sinclair have nice shots, too. Tan tries his best, but he is so out-sized. Looks like an offensive tackle out there! Colgate beat Monmouth by 20, (as well as beating Syracuse) so we can see who will rule the roost this year, unless they run into a cold 'trey' night.
