THIS WEEK
Wed., Feb. 10 - at Lafayette 7 p.m. EST (Patriot League All-Access)      Game Notes

The Colgate University men's basketball team (6-16, 2-6) will look for its first road win in league play when it travels to Lafayette (14-9, 5-3) on Wednesday. Lafayette is trying to go 6-3 in League play for the first time since an 8-1 start in 2004, while a loss would give Colgate its worst nine-game mark since 2006.

THE SERIES WITH LAFAYETTE
This will be the 85th meeting between Colgate and Lafayette with the Raiders leading the all-time series 45-39. Lafayette is going for the sweep of the season series after winning at Colgate, 95-82, on Jan. 13. In the past three seasons, Lafayette has won the first meeting between the schools only to lose the rematch.

SCOUTING COLGATE (6-16, 2-6)
The Raiders dropped the first game of the second half of the League schedule, as they were outscored 34-20 after halftime of a 63-49 defeat at Army on Sunday. Colgate has dropped six of seven games since knocking off Army to open the League schedule on Jan. 9.
Senior guard Kyle Roemer (Martinez, Calif.) is Colgate's leading scorer and second in the Patriot League with 19.4 points per game, while sophomore Yaw Gyawu (Lilburn, Ga.) is averaging 15.5 per game. Roemer is averaging 5.7 rebounds per game, while classmate Ben Jonson (Dallas, Texas) is averaging 4.9 per game. Freshman point guard Mitch Rolls (Coffeyville, Kan.), leads the team in assists with 70 and is fifth in the Patriot League with 3.2 per game.

SCOUTING LAFAYETTE (14-9, 5-3)
The Leopards had their lowest scoring output of the season in a 73-46 loss at Holy Cross on Saturday. Lafayette has dropped two straight and three of its last four games after a 4-0 start in League play.
Lafayette is led in scoring by Jared Mintz and Jim Mower who average 15.2 and 13.0 points per game. Mintz also leads the team on the boards with 5.6 per game.

SCORING DUOS
Colgate continues to get solid production from its prolific scoring duo. The Raiders boast two of the top five scorers in the Patriot League, with Kyle Roemer (19.4 ppg) second, and Yaw Gyawu (15.4) fourth.

ROEMER GOES OVER 1,500
Kyle Roemer became just the 19th player in Patriot League history to go over 1,500 career points. Roemer passed the mark during Saturday's 31-point effort against Navy, and now occupies 18th place in League annals with 1,522 points. He became just the seventh player in Colgate history with 1,500 points, and first since Adonal Foyle with 1,500 points and 400 rebounds. Roemer is also nearing the Patriot League record book for three-pointers made.

ALL-LEAGUE HONORS
Point guard Mitch Rolls was named the Patriot League Men's Basketball Anaconda Rookie of the Week, following his performance against Stony Brook (Dec. 14). This marks the first-ever weekly honor for Rolls and the first for a Raider this season.

THE DAVIS FILE
Head coach Emmett Davis (St. Lawrence, 1984) is in his 12th year in charge at Colgate, owning the most wins in school history with 154.
During coach Davis' decade long tenure, the Colgate program has been a model of consistency.  In nine of his 11 seasons, Davis has led the Raiders to either the upper division of the Patriot League standings or advanced the team to the semifinals or finals of the conference tournament.  From 2001-2004 the Raiders finished with three consecutive regular season winning records (2001-02…17-10, 2002-03…14-13, and 2003-04…14-13) and in 2007-08 the Raiders tied the school record for wins in a season with 18. 
Davis reached another career milestone in November 2005, as Colgate defeated Matt Doherty's Florida Atlantic team 78-74 earning coach Davis his 100th career victory making him just the fifth coach in school history to win 100 games.

PATRIOT LEAGUE PRESEASON POLL
The Raiders have been selected fifth in the Patriot League preseason poll in voting done by the league coaches and sports information directors.
Holy Cross notched 13 first-place votes and 95 points overall to claim the top spot, and were followed in order by Lehigh (78), Bucknell (63), Army (59), Colgate (51), American (45), Navy (43) and Lafayette (14).
The Raiders made the Patriot League semifinals for the second straight time last season, and have five starters back in the lineup. That group includes the top three scorers from last year, as Mike Venezia (10.8 ppg), Ben Jonson (10.4) and Yaw Gyawu (10.2) all averaged in double figures. The Raiders also bring back senior guard/forward Kyle Roemer, a Second-Team All-Patriot League pick in 2007-08 who missed the 2008-09 season with an injury.

UP NEXT
Colgate will return home for two games starting with American on Saturday (Feb. 13). The game is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. EST. and will be aired live on Patriot League All-Access.
