BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Lehigh men’s basketball prepares to play their second game in three days, as the Mountain Hawks welcome the Colgate Raiders to Stabler Arena on Monday, February 3 at 6 p.m. The game will be broadcast nationally on CBS Sports Network.

Colgate (9-14, 6-4 PL) has owned a significant advantage in the series against Lehigh (8-13, 3-7 PL) as of late, winning nine of their last ten against the Mountain Hawks. The Raiders lead the all-time series 65-42 and picked up a narrow 67-62 victory at Cotterell Court in this season’s first matchup on January 8.

If Lehigh wins, they would earn their ninth win of the season and improve to 4-7 in Patriot League play. Head coach Dr. Brett Reed‘s all-time record against Colgate would improve to 18-22.

Patriot League play continued for Lehigh men’s basketball on Saturday afternoon from the Hart Center against the hosting Holy Cross Crusaders.

Sophomore Cam Gillus recorded his first career double-double, notching 16 points and 10 rebounds in the win. Senior Tyler Whitney-Sidney matched Gillus with 16 points of his own to lead the Mountain Hawks. First-year Alfredo Addesa scored a career-high 10 points on a perfect 3-3 FG and 2-2 3FG.

The four-time defending Patriot League champion Raiders enter Monday’s contest in fourth place with a 6-4 league record. Colgate has lost three in a row ahead of this game, including a stunning 76-61 loss at home to Lafayette on Saturday. This is the first time since January 2017 that Colgate has lost three consecutive Patriot League games. Fifth-year center Jeff Woodward leads the Raiders offensively at 14.6 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, including a 17.6 point per game mark in Patriot League play. Senior Nicolas Louis-Jacques (11.6 ppg) and sophomore Jalen Cox (10.0 ppg) also average double-figures for the Raiders.
