Last Saturday marked homecoming games for sophomores Caleb Bennett and Marques Wilson. Bennett is from St. Joseph, Mo. (approximately two hours from Kansas State) and Wilson is from Edmond, Okla. (just over four hours away). Both Bennett and Wilson played integral roles in Lehigh’sfirst-halfsurge,andeachfinishedthegamewithfivepointswhileWilsonaddedsevenrebounds.

COACH REED PUTTING UP THE W’SHead coach Brett Reed reached 100-career Patriot League (regular season) wins last season, becoming just the fourth coach in league history to reach that plateau. Below is the list. Reed tied Jeff Jones of American coach for fastest to reach 100 PL wins in terms of number of seasons (11th season for both Reed and Jones). However, for both Flannery and Jones, it took fewer games to reach 100.

Here is where Reed stands among Patriot League laurels for total wins and Patriot League victories. Reed’s 200th win came earlier this season, during a 78-72 home-opening win over Marist (Nov. 13)

In addition, Alamudun won the Adidas Summer Championship (Silver Division) with his AAU team, the Cali Rebels.

Meanwhile, Betlow has been a standout throughout his high school career, most recently playing at St. Benedict’s in New Jersey and helping his team to an unprecedented 12th State Prep A championship title in 2017-18. St. Benedict’s was ranked as high as No. 3 in the nation during the season, while being named the No. 1 Independent/Prep Team in the state.

NONLEAGUE SUCCESSLehighfinishedlastseason’snonleagueschedulewitha5-6record,butithad plenty of bright spots. The Mountain Hawks were 2-2 against reigning NCAA Tournament teams, defeating Princeton (Ivy League) and Mount St. Mary’s (NEC) while falling to USC (Pac-12) and Virginia (ACC). Lehigh was3-2againstreigningconferencefinalists,beatingPrinceton,MountSt.Mary’s and Siena (MAAC) while falling to Yale (Ivy League) and Saint Francis (Pa.) (NEC).

COMMON HOMECOMINGSHomecomings are common for the Mountain Hawks as head coach Brett Reed tries to schedule games near players’ hometowns whenever possible. Last season, the Mountain Hawks traveled to USC to face the Trojans on Thanksgiving Eve, marking a homecoming for Kyle Leufroy (Pasadena, Calif.) and Jordan Cohen (Tarzana, Calif.). This year, Lehigh is traveling to Miami for Lance Tejada’s (Miramar, Fla.) homecoming along with Kansas State to get a game close to the hometowns of Caleb Bennett (St. Joseph, Mo.) and Marques Wilson (Edmond, Okla.). The Mountain Hawks also opened the season at Monmouth, approximately a 15-minute drive from Pat Andree’s hometown of Colts Neck, N.J.

SUSTAINED SUCCESS- Lehigh has enjoyed impressive success over the last nine years (2010-18), earningaPatriotLeagueQuarterfinalhomegameineightofthoseseasons.- Over the last nine years, the Mountain Hawks are second in the league in numberofchampionships(two),secondinaveragefinish(third)andsecondinquarterfinalhomegames(eight).- Lehigh is also second in number of Patriot League (regular season) victories (90)andnumberofdouble-figurewinseasons(six).- Over the last six years (even without current NBA standout C.J. McCol-lum), the Mountain Hawks still stand second in total (regular season) Patriot League victories in that span with 63.- Lehigh is one of just two teams to post 10+ Patriot League regular season victories in each of the last four years.

MCCOLLUM STARRING FOR TRAIL BLAZERS- Former Lehigh standout C.J. McCollum is starring in his sixth NBA season with the Portland Trail Blazers.- McCollum is currently averaging 21.1 points per game this season (before games Nov . 27), averaging 20+ points per game each of the previous three years as one of the NBA’s most elite scorers.- Among many highlights, McCollum scored 40 points against Milwaukee on Nov. 6, the most points ever scored by the Trail Blazers against the Bucks.- McCollum was the talk of the NBA on Jan . 31, 2018 when he scored a ca-reer-high 50 points vs . Chicago . McCollum set a Portland franchise record for points in a quarter with 28 in the first. It also marked the most points any NBA player scored in a quarter this season. McCollum went on to tally 50 points on 18-of-25 shooting, including 6-of-9 from three-point range. It came in just 29 minutes as McCollum didn’t play the fourth quarter with the Trail Blazers leading comfortably. He became just the second NBA player in the shot clock era (along with Golden State’s Klay Thompson) to score 50+ points in less than 30 minutes.-OnJune27,2013,McCollumbecamethefirstplayerinschoolhistorytobeselectedintheNBADraft.Hedeclaredforthe2012draft,butofficiallywithdrew from the NBA Draft on Monday, Apr. 9, 2012 to return to Lehigh for his senior season. McCollum went on to write a piece published on Sport-ing News’ website titled “Why I’m returning to Lehigh for my senior year,” siting earning his degree as one of the primary reasons.



STRONG IN THE CLASSROOM- The Mountain Hawks take a lot of pride in their academic performance.- Last spring, three Mountain Hawks were named to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll - Pat Andree (3.60, Psychology), Shane Acoveno (3.50, Computer Science (EN)) and Jordan Cohen (3.53, Finance).-BothAndreeandCohenwerealsonamedtothefive-memberAcademicAll-PatriotLeagueteam,markingthefirsttimeinschoolhistoryLehighhadtwo student-athletes on the team.- Last fall (2017), four Mountain Hawks posted over a 3.4 GPA: Jordan Co-hen 3.74 (Business), Pat Andree 3.59 (Arts and Sciences), Lance Tejada 3.40 (Sociology) and Jack Lieb 3.32 (Business).

BRETT REEDHead Coach12th Year as Lehigh Head Coach

The 2018-19 season is Dr. Brett Reed’s 12th as the Murray H. Goodman ’48 Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Lehigh University. In 11 years on the sideline, Reed has become the winningest coach in Lehigh history and has won more than 70 percent of his games at Stabler Arena. During the 2012-13 season, Reed won his 100th career game and became the fastest coach to 100 wins in the history of the Patriot League. The same season, he also became the all-time winningest coach in school history. He enters 2018-19 with 198 career victories and is the Patriot League’s second longest-tenured coach. Reed owns a 57.6 career Division I winning percentage, good for sixth in Patriot League history and second among active coaches. Reed’s 198 overall wins, and 102 Patriot League victories, are both fourth in league history. Reed has consistently won at Lehigh, eclipsing 20 wins three times in a four-year span from 2009-13, which also included three national post-season appearances. The Mountain Hawks twice won the Patriot League and advanced to the NCAA Tournament while advancing to the College Basketball Invitational in 2013. Lehigh reached back-to-back Patriot League Championship Games in 2016 and 2017, marking the third and fourth times in eight seasons the Mountain Hawks played in the title game. Under Reed, the Mountain Hawks have won 20+ games four times in the last nine years andhavefinishedinthetopfouroftheleaguestandingsineightofthelastnine seasons. Reed’s teams have played their best basketball when it matters, posting a 22-2 record over the last three Februaries (9-0 in 2016, 6-2 in 2017 and 7-0 in 2018). In his tenure, the Mountain Hawks are 54-30 in the month of February. During Reed’s time, Lehigh has developed plenty of impressive talent, led by two-time All-American and Patriot League Player of the Year C.J. McCollum ’13 who was selected 10th overall by the Portland Trail Blazers inthe2013NBADraftandhasdevelopedintoanNBAstar.McCollumfin-ished each of the last two seasons top 20 in the NBA in scoring (23.0 points per game in 2016-17 and 21.4 in 2017-18). Tim Kempton ‘17 was a two-time Patriot League Player of the Year, who was invited to play for the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Summer League following graduation, and is now playing overseas. Reed has recruited at an extremely effective rate, having secured fiveofthelast11PatriotLeagueRookiesoftheYear. Reed will be most remembered for the 2011-12 season, when the Moun-tain Hawks posted a school-record 27 wins, along with the program’s third Patriot League Championship (and second in the three years). The highlight was a historic 75-70 NCAA Tournament win over Duke, becoming only the sixth No. 15 seed to ever beat a No. 2 seed and second in the same day (Norfolk State defeated Missouri just hours earlier). McCollum led the way with30pointsasLehighnevertrailedbymorethanfiveandwasleadingformuchofthegame.MountainHawks’largestleadcameinthefinalminute(eight) as the squad always had an answer for the Blue Devils’ runs. That game helped put the Lehigh men’s basketball program squarely on the map as over the ensuing days, the Mountain Hawks were featured in an endless number of national media outlets including SportsCenter, ESPN Radio, Fox Sports Radio, Sports Illustrated, USA Today and much more. Entering the following season, the Mountain Hawks were ranked among the mid-major’s best teams by numerous outlets. The 2011-12 season also featured a school record for nonleague wins (12), the Mountain Hawks shattered the program’s previous wins record of 22 (also set by a Reed-led team). Along the way, Lehigh played tough against power conference foes, including NCAA Tournament No. 1 seed Michigan State when the Mountain Hawks held a 38-35 lead at the half. The Mountain Hawks earned two more wins against power conference foes during the 2014-15 season as Lehigh took a big step forward in its quest to return to championship contention. The Mountain Hawks’ season was highlighted by two wins over power conference opponents DePaul and Ari-zona State, and a tight loss to eventual No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament Villanova. After a slow start to Patriot League play, the Mountain Hawks rebounded by winning seven-of-eight games midway through the league schedule. Late in the season, Lehigh dominated eventual regular season championBucknelltoclinchahomegameinthePatriotLeagueQuarterfinals. Several individuals took their play to new levels in 2014-15, highlighted by Kempton who was named the league’s Player of the Year as just a soph-

omore. Along with Kempton, freshman Kahron Ross became the Mountain Hawks’fifthPatriotLeagueRookieoftheYearinthepreviousnineseasons,along with Marquis Hall (2007), Rob Keefer (2008), McCollum (2010) and Kempton (2014). Ross set a single-game record with 14 assists in Lehigh’s thrilling win at Arizona State. Lehigh rebounded from a slow start in 2015-16 winning 11 straight games beginning in early February, tying the program’s 90-year school record. The Mountain Hawks surged to the No. 2 seed in the league tour-namentandwentontohostthequarterfinals,semifinalsandchampionshipgame. It marked the sixth time in seven seasons that Lehigh has played at least one Patriot League Tournament game at home.

Kempton was also named Patriot League Player of the Year for the second straight season, becoming just the third player in league history to earn the honor twice before his senior season. The others were McCollum and Colgate’s Adonal Foyle, who both went onto careers in the NBA.

In 2017-18, Lehigh graduated over 4,000 points and 1,600 rebounds from the previous year, but still found itself near the top of the league standings. The Mountain Hawks won eight straight games to end the regular season tied for third place in the league. Among the victories was a thrilling overtime win over Bucknell in early February, handing the eventual Patriot League Champion its last defeat until the NCAA Tournament.

Lehigh began the season 9-2, including an eight-game winning streak capped off by a 90-75 win at North Texas. McCollum went down with a season-ending injury at VCU on Jan. 5, but the Mountain Hawks wouldn’t go away quietly. Lehigh posted a 10-4 record in league play to tie for second in the league standings. That season, Reed picked up his 100th career win in style as the Mountain Hawks defeated Fairleigh Dickinson, 102-62. He went on to post his school record-breaking victory in a 72-43 win at Navy. Reed broke a tie with Tony Packer to become the all-time winningest coach in school history.

WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. – The Lehigh men’s basketball team opened a six-point halftime lead then used a 15-3 run early in the second to create separation, taking as much as a 30-point advantage on the way to an 85-61 win at Monmouth on Tuesday evening in the season opener for both teams. The 24-point win marked Lehigh’s largest margin of victory in an opener since the 1985-86 season. Junior Pat Andree led the charge with a career-high 31 points in a homecoming game while senior Kyle Leufroy became the 36th player in school history to reach 1,000 career points. In the end, 10 Mountain Hawks scored on Tuesday with four reaching double figures. Defensively, Lehigh held Monmouth to just 19-of-56 shooting (33.9 percent), including just 4-of-21 from three-point range (19.0 percent). Andree’s 31 points came on 9-of-15 shooting, including 6-of-10 from three-point range. Classmate Jordan Cohen had 15 points on 5-of-9 shooting while Leufroy had 11 points and nine rebounds.
