The Standings

With the win, Holy Cross now moves to 7-10 in the conference play season and into a three way tie for seventh in the Patriot League with Navy and Loyola. 

The Crusaders travel to Boston University (9-8) on Saturday afternoon for a 4 p.m. tip and with a win would have a chance to clinch the seventh seed with losses by Loyola and Navy and maybe sneak into sixth with a loss by Lafayette. 

However, a loss and a win by Army, could potentially send Holy Cross into last place in the conference. 

Patriot league games of significance for Holy Cross:

Navy vs Loyola - both tied with Crusaders, obviously one of them will lose so that's good, assuming Holy Cross wins.  

Army vs Lafayette - If Lafayette loses and Holy Cross wins, Crusaders would sneak into sixth. Both teams would have same record but Holy Cross has tie breaker. American and Lafayette currently are tied but American has tie breaker. 

For Holy Cross, just win and it will make things a little easier, a loss could and likely would mean trouble. 

Malcolm Miller

In Malcolm Miller's final home game as a Crusader, he came up with one of his best performances of the season. 

Miller netted 17 points on 5-of-6 shooting from the field and 6-of-8 from the free throw line. 

Miller also hit four crucial free throws in the final 25 seconds to clinch the win for Holy Cross. 

Miller also grabbed four rebounds in the game. 

9-4

Holy Cross wraps up their home schedule with a 63-60 win over Loyola and an overall record of 9-4 at the Hart Center. 

The Crusaders finish the season having won three straight and five of their last six home games. 

The Crusaders went 6-3 at home during the conference play schedule and that record was a major reason why Holy Cross was able to play themselves back into contention in the Patriot League. 

The Crusaders are 2-11 on the road overall this season. 1-7 in conference play, not counting the win over Harvard which was on a neutral site. 

The Crusaders good home record is what has kept them alive this season but now they need a road win on Saturday against Boston University.
