Attendance was 2,187. Pretty pathetic for a rivalry game and the students in session. We had 3,100 at our place with the students on break. The noon start was no help either, but, I bet half were wearing maroon. Wish I could have made it.

a special thanks to the lehigh "pep" band for their show of sportsmanship to walk over and play a complimentary song in the middle of the lafayette section midway through the second half. we deeply appreciated all the expletives that came after the song.

needless to say, they didn't stick around after the game. 68-66.

Willen caught an elbow to the forehead in the first half, you could see the knot over his right eye almost immediately. He had 2 fouls at that point and I think Fran kept him out more for that reason than the forehead bump. He is ok to play.

As to the Daaleman, his high school team did not make the NC state tournament as East Chapel Hill finished last in the PAC 6 conference and lost in the conference tourney finals which would have gotten them a 2 seed in the states. He only has averaged 7 points a game in his senior season. He has size but I still would not expect any thing from him until sophmore year or later. The Raleigh area teams and results are much easier to find / follow than Tulsa and our other recruit Levi Geise, Union HS is 15-6 and ranked 5th in 6A in the state. Cannot tell much more than that as the Tulsa World newspaper site blows and takes way to much diggin to find anything.

Remember, Willen was called for a foul when he took it in the head. STRANGE!!!
Good win.
Great call by Fran at the end, but even better execution by the boys (particularly Mike) to get the ball up court.
Big game against Army next.
