2012-13 Preview: Patriot League

Ella Ellis is one of the most decorated players in Army history entering his senior season. He scored in double figures in 29 consecutive games, the longest such streak by an Army player since Kevin Houston scored at least 10 points in 57 games in a row spanning portions of the 1984-85 through 1986-87 seasons. Ellis was also the first Army player since Randy Cozzens (1982-85) to have multiple 400-point, 100-rebound and 50-assist seasons.

Lehigh is home to one of the nation’s best players in C.J. McCollum. He had a stellar junior campaign, averaging 21.9 points per game (fifth nationally) and 6.5 rebounds. McCollum was first in the Patriot League in scoring and second in rebounding and was named Patriot League Player of the Year and AP Honorable Mention All-American for the second time in three seasons

After being named Patriot League Player of the year in 2010-11, Mike Muscala followed it with a monster junior year, earning First Team All-Patriot League honors while leading the team in scoring (17.0) and rebounding (9.1) with career highs in both categories. He led the Patriot League in rebounding and blocked shots and also ranked fourth in scoring.
