The men’s basketball Patriot League quarterfinal contest at Holy Cross will be televised live this evening by the Lafayette Sports Network (LSN). The teams split the season series with each winning on its home court.

Jared Mintz '11 and the Leopards will battle Holy Cross in the opening round of the Patriot League playoffs.

If the Leopards win, they will play either No. 2 seed American in Washington, D.C., or No. 7 Colgate at home on Sunday at 5 p.m. or 7:30 p.m.

Tonight’s telecast will be distributed live on ESPN3.com and LSN All-Access.

The game will be picked up on RCN’s series of cable systems throughout the Northeast (New York City, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, DC), as well as regionally on WBPH-TV 60, an independent station servicing all of Eastern Pennsylvania – including Philadelphia – and Western New Jersey.

DISH Network and DIRECTV subscribers will be able to follow the game on channel 60 in the Philadelphia market.

Mick Moninghoff (play-by-play) and former men’s basketball head coach John Leone (analyst) will have the call from the Hart Center in Worcester, Mass., starting at 7 p.m.

All Leopards fans making the trek to Holy Cross are encouraged to wear maroon to the game.

“Is College Worth the Cost?”

At Lafayette, the answer is a resounding yes. Payscale.com reports that Lafayette is third among all liberal arts schools in average starting salary (excluding military academies) and sixth in 30-year return on investment.
