One thing’s for sure: Baruch will try to speed up the tempo (it ranks in bottom 25 percent among NCAADivision III schools in points allowed); while CSI will try to slow it down (it ranks in bottom 25 percent inscoring offense at 54.8 ppg).On the men’s side, CSI enjoys a whopping 43-17 all-time series lead, although Ray Rankis, the dean ofCUNY coaches, has won nine of the last 12 meetings, including three of the last four at CSI.The Dolphins won last year in a memorable 109-107 triple-overtime classic in Manhattan, with point guardThomas Tibbs sinking a jumper at the final buzzer.Senior starters Jordan Young, Dale Taranto and Tibbs have returned from that squad, along with sophomoreguard Bloochy Magloire, who averages a team-leading 16.8 points per game.At 10-4, the Dolphins should be on the threshold of the soon-to-be released Atlantic Region rankings.

The Titansentered the national rankings at No. 25 this week.The Dolphins are holding opponents to 63.1 ppg (which would be the second-best single-season total ever)and to 38.4 percent shooting (first in single-season history).NOTES: Lehman’s men lead the Northern Division with a 4-0 record ...
