In response to BisonRoadWarrior
This item just popped up on a twitter handicapping site, of which there are thousands, many totally unreliable:
"Word on the street is multiple starters for Bucknell have the flu and another has a hip injury. A few won’t play at all."
This may well be a bad rumor - and it might even be someone trying to boost the points Bucknell is getting - but it possibly could be true. Has anyone heard anything?
Btw, it appeared that Avi Toomer may have been suffering from the flu last Wednesday, so the report could have some validity. Hopefully not, as I don't like the Bison chances even if healthy.

Another source says that "3 of top 4 players have the flu tonight for Bucknell."

Bruce has a lower body injury.
Funk has the Flu.
Jimmy was reportedly sick and still may be but likely playing.

Thanks. I am going to assume Bruce is the one with the reported hip injury.

Sotos made the trip as far as I know. Clearly wouldn’t have taken a 6 hour round trip if he wasn’t a go. Wouldn’t even be worth the risk of having him take the bus...unless they went down last night and he reserved judgement and followed by private car today. Could use Bruce’s toughness and 5 more fouls on the road. Sotos is key

Even at full strength this Bison squad has numerous struggles...perhaps someone will come up big out of nowhere.

Is there anyone in attendance at this game? Looks like 70-80 people have trickled in.

Does the team get flu shots, or are they at least offered, or are the players on their own in that regard?

Would be a double digit have if Meeks made half of them. Overall good effort though especially coming back when it could have slipped away.

So Doug goes into halftime saying without Funk, without Moore, without Toomer and without Sotos the Bison did well to be 27-27. Um, Sotos and Toomer are playing. He’s calling their names. And why does he continue to say somebody pushes off on virtually every single play?? Enough.

Shooting 28% will lead to many losses, no matter who’s on the court.

10 to go. Has he made a layup all night?

Guys fought back hard and lost on a fluke shot. Tough to take.

That was a gut punch, last two defensive possessions were awful.

Freshman mistake by Rice. Guys fought hard. Didn't expect they would win this one, but it sure would have been nice - especially with Colgate losing today.
