Opening Tip

- The Leopards have moved into a tie with Boston U. at fourth in the Patriot League standings after recording their second straight win, a 63-61 victory over Lehigh on Sunday. Lafayette can still finish as high as the two-seed with two victories and help from around the league the rest of the way.

- Senior Dan Trist is putting together the best year of his career this season. Trist is second in the Patriot League in scoring at 17.4 points per game and became the first Lafayette player since Stefan Ciosici '98 to record three straight double-doubles with a 14-point, 10-rebound effort at Lehigh on Sunday.

- Lafayette ranks in the top-30 nationally in all three offensive efficiency categories, including holding the 10th spot in the country in three-point field-goal percentage (40.5%). Additionally, The Leopards are 10th in free-throw percentage (76.0%) and 28th in overall field-goal percentage (47.6%).

- Sophomore Nick Lindner has stepped up his offensive game since entering Patriot League play. Lindner put together a career-high 26-point performance in an 84-74 overtime win over Bucknell on Feb. 4. The Doylestown, Pa. native is dropping in 12.2 points per game in Patriot League contests, good enough for third on the team behind Trist (18.1 ppg) and Seth Hinrichs (13.5 ppg).
