Maybe what they said in that article above about drinking being a big problem at Lehigh is true. Or maybe the kid who wrote this story in the Brown and White just doesn't know hoops.

The headline: Men's Basketball loses; title hopes dashed.

According to the story, which recaps Sunday's Holy Cross game:

The defeat practically dashes Lehigh’s hopes of a repeat Patriot League regular season championship because they sit fourth in the Patriot League standings with a 4-3 league record.

While the Mountain Hawks do face an uphill battle, it seems a little drastic to write them off completely when they are just two games back at the halfway point. With American, Bucknell and Colgate all due to visit Stabler in the second half, it is not that much of a stretch to think they could run the table from here out.

The writer might also need reminded that last season the Mountain Hawks earned the top seed despite four losses in league play. League history shows that six different seasons teams with three or more losses have claimed or shared the regular season crown, including two of the last three years.
