Colgate (13-7) at Navy (9-12)
We have to be able to beat Navy on the road if we claim to be legit contenders. Naturally, we lose, 62-59. Little used Josh Melton led the team with 16 and only Dombroski scored in double figures besides Melton. Not a recipe for winning on the road. We are going to have to string together 3 or 4 wins now.

Rhode Island (9-12) at Colgate (13-8)
Thankfully, I am not losing these home games to inferior opponents. We need this game to propel us to a few more wins now. 70-53 was the final score. McNeil and Davis led the team with 12 and Barnett had 11. Hobbs had 12 boards.

Colgate (14-8) at Wagner (13-10)
I knew this was going to be a tough game, and it was. Neither team could take control throughout, and we were just good enough to steal a 2 point win on the road, and this keeps us alive. Their PF went off for 33 points on us, but we were able to shut the rest of them out. McNeil and Barnett both scored in double figures for the starters, and Eliason chipped in with 10 off the bench in just 10 minutes of playing time.

Colgate (15-8) at Hartford (8-15)
A major setback here, as a poor Hartford team takes it to us, 64-52. Another big day for a PF, as he got 23 against us. Barnett was our only offensive threat on the day, he had 17. I think I might change my strategy to doubling down on the big men.

Yale (8-16) at Colgate (15-9)
No problems here at home, as we cruise to a 77-53 win. Barnett and Dombroski led the way with 16 points each. Quick added 14 and McNeil a dozen. Hobbs out muscled everyone down low and grabbed 14 boards, a career high, I believe.

February Recap
This recruiting season has been a complete disaster. We offered out 3 more schollies and they were all declined. We have only signed 1 guy out of 5 spots we need to fill. We will try and make a last ditch effort in March.
