St Francis PA

Young team returns in 2018-2019 with tons of promise. Can they get back to the NCAA Tournament?

This Lehigh team stinks. Can’t beat this team at home as 15 point favorites? This program just continues to die on the vine.

Good news is they have Cairn coming up. Maybe they can get another Oneonta State-type win.

Ugh. What a cluster f*ck.At home for a pretty safe W. Instead a nail biter capped with a collapse over the last few minutes giving up the lead and the game.

Seems like complacency; which is weird since there is nothing in their record to date to be complacent about! Just because they had "respectable losses" to some big name bball programs doesn't translate into sure wins over lesser competition.Hopefully, the Dr. has an Rx to wake the team up.

I believe The Dr. is the problem! Time for this guy to go. Were it not for CJ, he would have nothing to hang his hat on. Wake me up when FB starts again. At least there may be some hope for a turn-around.

I remember something about that event. It was so long ago, Coach K wasn't even considering retirement then.

As a person who witnessed this debacle in person, I was embarrassed at how thoroughly we were out coached. And out played. Up 7 with 1;54 to go and a chance to escape one of the ugliest college games I've ever seen (44 fouls total), we figured out how to screw it up, including fouling a three point shooter with 10 seconds left

As we all know, Lehigh has historically been one of division one's least successful basketball programs. From 1902-2023 we have the 10th most losses in the history of the sport (1152 wins, 1485 losses). We are however in generally good academic company. Only VMI, Northwestern, Dartmouth, Brown, Drake, Yale, Rice, Idaho, and Wash. State have lost more. Somehow Fran Mccaffery, Billy Taylor and C.J. bucked the trend.

Doc's a great recruiter, and a great guy. But he needs a promotion to assistant athletic director. Otherwise we will never be better than mediocre.

(ps: Matt Logie no longer available having just taken the Montana State job)
