Colgate seems to have found a winning formula: play tremendous defense and give the ball to Kyle Roemer on offense. Roemer is scorching hot and carrying the team on offense, and the Raiders are going to ride his hot hand as far as it takes them.

GAME PREVIEW

at American, Friday, March 14 (Patriot tournament championship)

IN FOCUS
If Colgate can keep this game at a slow pace and hold the score down, the Raiders have a chance to win the Patriot League. They've had some success against American by focusing on keeping the American guards from penetrating, and by closing out on three-point shooters. If American finds open spaces and starts knocking down threes, it could be a long night for the Raiders.

ROSTER REPORT

--G Kyle Roemer is on fire. He's led the team in scoring in both tournament games, scoring a career-high 32 points in the first round and 25 in the semifinals. Roemer has been efficient with his offense as well, shooting

11 of 16 against Lafayette and 10 of 16 against Bucknell.

--Kendall Chones was the only other Colgate player in double figures in the 76-74 semifinal win over Lafayette. Chones scored 11 points.
