Schedules and Freshmen: Patriot League

Holy Cross: Schedule

Big Games: 11/15 vs. Harvard, 11/18 vs. BC, 1/7 vs, Lehigh, 2/18 vs. Bucknell

If the Crusaders can put up a good fight against the Crimson and the Eagles, it'll certainly indicate that they are prepared to put up a fight in the Patriot League. Harvard will be an almost-certain NCAA team and BC will be rebuilding but is still the state's highest-profile program, so these will be the team's most legitimate chances at getting attention. If they also can pick up surprise wins at home against conference favorites Lehigh and Bucknell, the Crusaders may be in the mix for a bid at the end of the year, but that's probably unlikely.

Freshmen: PG Justin Burrell comes from Virginia with shooting and passing abilities but will need to overcome a lack of size. SF Malcolm Miller is somewhat less heralded, but his athleticism could make him effective on the perimeter if he can develop an outside game. PF Taylor Abt could be a sizable presence on the inside once he develops into a college-level player.
