I'm here at Worcester, Mass to see Lehigh take on Holy Cross in a key Patriot League battle. Lehigh completely controls their own destiny in the Patriot League title race - a wn here would go a very lon way in securing at least a share of the Patriot League championship - their first since 2006. But defending champions Holy Cross won'g give it up without a fight - and a win here for them would put them in the driver's seat for the championship. It's a brisk 45 degree up here in Worcester, ...

Villanova (5-2 overall, 3-1 in the Colonial Athletic Association) is the defending NCAA Division ...
CEDAR FALLS, IA--I am in Cedar Falls today to see Northern Iowa host Illinois State on the Panthers' homecoming game. It is dark and dreary outside and rained a little this morning here in town. Illinois State is coming off a win against North Dakota State last week and UNI came home with a road victory at the Great West's South Dakota.
