Lions Slide
Lose Two in 'The Pit'
by Todd J. Irwin
Collegian Staff Writer
Behrend's men's basketball
team did an about face last week
by winning a close one on the
road and dropping two in "The
Pit."
The week began with an
overtime win at SUNY=
Brockport, 97-90. According to
Coach Zimmerman the game was
a dogfight. "We didn't come out
ready to play," said Zimmerman,"
we kept letting them back into
the game. We were lucky to find
a way to win." *This upped the
Lions to 11-5. •
The Wolverines of Grove City
came to Erie Hall on Wednesday,
Jan. 25, to hand the Lions their
first home loss of the season.
"We didn't look as sharp as we
normally do," said Zimmerman.
Foul trouble to the inside men
hurt Behrend's player rotation.
The Lions' leading scorer,
forward Rick Demski, fouled for
the fourth time just seconds into
the second half. All this added up
to a 74-65 loss for the Lions.
Turnovers plagued the Lions
in a 91-79 loss to Westminister
on Saturday in "The Pit."

Sophomore Randy Baughman,
the Lions' point man, saw only a
few minutes of play due to a case
of the flu. Westminister, a big
inside learn, used this to their
advantage by pressing and caused
the Lions to give up the ball 21
times. "Their press hurt us," said
Zimmerman, "that many
turnovers cause problems." The
loss brought the Lions to 11-7.
Coach Zimmerman points out
that the Lions have played nine
games in a 17 day stretch, and
that fatigue has definitely been a
factor in the later games: Despite
the losses, the team haS remained
up, and are looking down the
stretch with optimism.
"We have to finish really
strong," admits Zimmerman, and
claims that even six wins out of
the remaining seven games
wouldn't guarantee a postseason
bid in either the NCAA or the
ECAC tournaments. Behrend's
seven remaining games include
three at home and four on the
mad.
The Lions' lost
their third straight
at Houghton Monday,
84-71.
