The Patriot League named Lehigh junior C.J. McCollum its player of the year for the second time in three seasons on Monday. But with the conference tournament tipping off Wednesday night, there are perhaps more eyes on Bucknell junior Mike Muscala.

At 6-foot-11 and with the ability to shoot with either hand and from 3-point range, Muscala is a rare talent in the Patriot League. He leads defending champion and top-seeded Bucknell (22-8) against No. 8 Navy (3-25) in the opening round.
