Matchup Breakdown
Holy Cross relies on balanced scoring rather than pace. Tyler Boston leads the offense and continues to generate consistent looks, while Joe Nugent and Gabe Warren provide efficient secondary production. When the Crusaders stay within range, it usually comes from shot selection and limiting empty trips.
Lehigh’s advantage comes from shot creation inside the arc. Hank Alvey is coming off a 26-point effort and remains the most efficient scorer on the floor. Nasir Whitlock carries the scoring load overall and gives Lehigh a reliable perimeter option. At home, the Mountain Hawks tend to play faster and push scoring closer to their season averages.
