Dave Paulsen might be wondering what he has gotten into with the Cross, his third assignment after some successes at Bucknell and George Mason. Not yet in Worcester, as the Crusaders have absorbed several heavy beatings, minus last year's top returning scorer Will Batchelder and an offense at the moment featuring only one DD scorer (former Air Force transfer G Joe Octave at 15.9 ppg) while scoring barely 64 ppg, which ranks a lowly 332. The Cross looks vulnerable to a blowout from Earl Grant's improving BC which has been in fairly tough the first month of the season but has shown KO power and owns a rare inside scoring threat with aptly-named 7-footer Quinten Post (20 ppg).
