Both the calendar and basketball court<\/a> say it is March.<\/p>\n

Lehigh University<\/a> advanced to the Patriot League tournament semifinals on Thursday night after a half-court prayer went nothing but net at the buzzer.<\/p>\n

Nasir Whitlock caught the inbound pass with 2.1 seconds left, dribbled up two steps and heaved his shot toward the basket.<\/p>\n

Whitlock was mobbed by his teammates when the shot went in for a 69-66 victory over Holy Cross.<\/p>\n

Lehigh led by as many as nine early on in the game, getting out to a 16-7 lead within the first 6:29 of the game and leading by five at halftime. After Lehigh got the first bucket of the second half, Holy Cross went on a 15-6 run to take a four-point lead, which they eventually would grow to six with 2:43 to go.<\/p>\n

But the Mountain Hawks battled back thanks to Whitlock knocking down a pair of free throws and then making a layup to trail by two. Hank Alvey’s layup tied the game with 1:12 to go, but Holy Cross’ Gabe Warren made a jumper with 21 seconds left to put the Crusaders back up.<\/p>\n

Whitlock, though, tied the game again with 11 seconds left, and after a bad Holy Cross pass changed possession, Whitlock became the hero.<\/p>\n

Whitlock went 11-for-24, including each of his last four, to finish with 29 points. Nine of those points came in the final 2:30 of the game, and he knocked down four of his six three-pointers, including each of his final two in crunch time.<\/p>\n

Tyler Boston led the Crusaders (11-for-22) in scoring, finishing with 24 points. Holy Cross also got 12 points, seven rebounds and two blocks from Warren. Aiden Disu finished with 11 points and eight rebounds.<\/p>\n

The Mountain Hawks will move on to play No. 3-seeded Colgate on Friday. They have not made the tournament since 2012, when, as a 15-seed led by CJ McCollum, they upset No. 2 Duke<\/a>.<\/p>\n
