Patriot League Tournament, First Round
(1)#7 Lafayette 79, (8) Navy 65
A rematch with the Midshipmen turns out to be a much better game.

Kenton Lashley scores 28 points and Charles Allen adds 24. Kamari Stone finishes with 11, but his 8 assists and 1 turnover say much more about his impact on the contest.
Record: 28-3.

Patriot League Tournament Semifinal
(1) #7 Lafayette 80, (4) Holy Cross 62
"Balance" is the word I associate most with this fine performance by Coach Sims' boys. Carter Todd (18p/10r), Charles Allen (16p/4a/3s), Kamari Stone (16p/5a/1t), and Kenton Lashley (14p/5r) all fill the scoresheet very nicely. We commit only 9 turnovers and force the Crusaders into 25.
Record: 29-3.

March 13, 2026
Patriot League Tournament Final
(1) #6 Lafayette 100, (3) Colgate 66
Forgive me for almost hoping Colgate would win this one. I wanted to see Elisha Brunelle get a ticket to the Big Dance. Instead, his Red Raiders end up on the receiving end of the seventh 100-point game of Graham Sims' coaching career.

Kenton Lashley (27) and Charles Allen (24) combine for 51 points. Carl McGriff pitches in 16 off the bench, and Carter Todd (8p/10r) needed one more bucket for a double-double.

The Bubble Watch is interesting for Patriot League fans:

Did Bucknell's win against us earn them an NCAA bid? Their other significant win was an 83-82 decision against Temple.
Record: 30-3.
