A look around the country – February 10, 2013
Saturday was quite a day of basketball even before the Louisville-Notre Dame marathon. There was also more to it than just the weather affecting games in New England, and here’s a look at some of the games.
Lehigh continues to overcome adversity
Lehigh had to overcome some new adversity at Holy Cross on Saturday. They did just that, and that’s something they’ve done a little of this season, showing that they have a lot going for them.
Bryant continues to win with offense
If you like offense, Bryant is a team you would like to see this season. On Thursday night they won another game against St. Francis Brooklyn on account of their offense, this time by an 84-77 margin.
St. John’s holds off UCONN 71-65
It was a game of significant runs and came down to the wire, but host St. John’s managed to hold off Connecticut to quietly improve to 7-4 in the Big East.

Cincinnati has struggled offensively in four of their first five losses this season, including Wednesday night’s loss at Providence. It’s a concerning trend all by itself, but also because they haven’t been as good defensively in Big East play.

Boston University needs to grow by finishing games better
Boston University has shown some growth over the course of the season, and the wins are helping to reflect that. But their finishes to games need to be better than on Tuesday night if they are to take the next step.
Drexel has had to beat more than just opponents this season
Drexel was thought to be a clear favorite in the CAA this season for a lot of reasons. But the Dragons have had to battle more than just opponents and haven’t repeated their offensive prowess of a year ago, and the result is a mediocre record after losing in Boston on Saturday night.
