Patriot League Release
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - The Patriot League has announced a complete slate of men's and women's basketball schedule adjustments for the final three weeks of the 2020-21 regular season.
League play continues to be contingent on the League and its member institutions being able to conduct competition in ways that protect the health and safety of student-athletes, coaches, staffs and their communities.
The revised men's and women's basketball schedules focus on playing postponed games within the Patriot League's three regional divisions for seeding League tournaments.

Colgate will head to West Point this weekend for a two-game series at Army Feb. 13-14. Sunday's game is set to air on CBS Sports Network at 6 p.m. The two teams were originally scheduled to play Jan. 30-31, but a positive COVID-19 test within the Black Knights' Tier 1 personnel forced postponements.
The Raiders' rescheduled home games against Boston University will follow on Feb. 20-21. Symptoms related to COVID-19 from a member of the Terriers' Tier 1 personnel put a halt on the series that was originally scheduled to take place last weekend in Hamilton.
Colgate then closes out its regular season with a third series against Holy Cross on Feb. 27-28. These games will not count toward the Patriot League North Division standings, as the two teams have already faced each other four times with Colgate going 4-0 in those contests.
The Raiders (7-1, 7-1 PL) have not played anybody other Holy Cross since going on the road to sweep the weekend series at Boston University on Jan. 9-10. Colgate has played four games since then – all against Holy Cross – with three weekends turning into postponements during that stretch. All three weekend adjustments were a result of COVID-related issues from Colgate opponents.

For the weekend of Feb. 20-21, Colgate and Lehigh are switching locations in the home-and-home matchup. Saturday's Game 1 now takes place in Bethlehem, with the return contest in Hamilton on Sunday. Start times are to be determined.
Colgate then wraps up the regular season Feb. 27-28 with a pair of make-up games at Boston University. The Raiders and Terriers were supposed to play this past weekend but those games were postponed when Colgate fell below the NCAA minimum number of available student-athletes to compete.
