Lafayette is substantially better with best player Seth Hinrichs. They are 0-10 straight up with him out of the line-up and 7-4 with him. He is back. He averages 16.4 points per game, 6.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists. In fact, Lafayette is 7-3 on the season when Nick Lindner, Seth Hinrichs and Joey Ptasinski are all in the starting lineup.

Keep in mind that Lafayette second best player is freshman point guard Nick Lindner. Remember, teams with young stars have the biggest upside in March. Linder stepped in for 2012-13 first team all-patriot league point guard tony Johnson. So one can see why this team is better now than at any point. Their best player is healthy after missing 11 games and their second best player has filled those big shoes while getting better.

The Leopards set a new Patriot League Tournament record with their 63.6 percent shooting performance in the win over Loyola on Monday. That is when a quick turnaround is great.

The Terriers are currently on a two-game losing streak though as the top seed with both heartbreaking defeats occurring at home.
