What to Know

The Holy Cross Crusaders have quite the challenge ahead of them as they're expected to be blown off the court. The Crusaders and the Colgate Raiders will face off in a Patriot battle at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at Hart Recreation Center. Holy Cross has been on the wrong side of a one-way rivalry with Colgate and is hoping to record their first victory since Feb. 1 of 2017.

Holy Cross found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unfortunate 84-61 punch to the gut against the Lafayette Leopards on Monday. Forward Gerrale Gates (18 points) was the top scorer for Holy Cross.

Meanwhile, Colgate strolled past the American Eagles with points to spare on Monday, taking the matchup 63-49. Among those leading the charge for the Raiders was forward Keegan Records, who posted a double-double on 11 points and 11 boards.

The Crusaders suffered a grim 87-60 defeat to Colgate in the teams' previous meeting earlier this month. Maybe Holy Cross will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
