The women open tonight on the road vs a good St. Joseph's team. One of the St. Joes starters is Tessa Brugler's sister. Game is on ESPN+ at 7 PM. According to the Game Notes, the startng lineup will be Collins, Shaffer, King, Emma Theodorsson, and Tai Johnson. The first three were a given, but the final two spots were up for grabs. If frosh Blake Mathews has recovered from the knee issue that kept her out for a couple months, expect her to see some time at the point. Theodorsson is a multi-skilled player who, like Cecelia Collins, can play four positions. Expecting her to be another Collins is too much to ask, but hopefully she is ready to be a solid starter as a freshman. The women not only have a challenging OOC schedule, but then open the PL segment against the predicted top three teams (Boston, Lehigh, and Holy Cross).

Tai Johnson has looked great. I missed the first 5 minutes, but Collins has not played since I started watching. I know she was battling some injuries, so hope she hasn't reinjured herself. |

Tai Johnson has looked great. I missed the first 5 minutes, but Collins has not played since I started watching. I know she was battling some injuries, so hope she hasn't reinjured herself. She picked up two fouls in the first 6:30. One was a soft offensive foul that didn't need to be called. The second was a block/charge situation with little contact and a late whistle. That obviously has a huge effect on the game since she is BU's top player by a wide margin and is better than any St. Joe's player as well. Reinbeau started at forward in place of King. Not sure what is wrong with King. She is one of the team's top returnees.

There have been a few questionable foul and travelling calls. |

King has played some minutes, but Reinbeau has played more minutes at that spot. Dingler has not played and I think she may be in street clothes on the bench.

Bison women are on the road tonight to play Virginia Tech, who is ranked #13 in both major polls. I am pretty sure this is the highest ranked opponent the have met in the regular season in the scholarship era. And many who follow the women's game closely think VA Tech is better than that. Charlie Creme, who does bracketology for ESPN, has them as a 3 seed. This will be a very tough game for a relatively inexperienced team, especially if some of the players are not recovered from the various illnesses that have hit them the past two weeks.

That may have been the worst quarter of basketball I've ever seen our women play. To their credit, they fought back and got it to single digits at one point. Unfortunately, the poor shooting returned in the 4th. I don't understand Woodruff not starting Tai Johnson. She's been playing well and has the experience to handle tough situations. It was good to see Shaffer have a good game after a rough start. |

Women got their first win today at Cornell. It was an ugly first 15 minutes again, but luckily Cornell is not as talented as FDU. They came back from 13 down to force OT. Hopefully, the strong 2nd half and OT provide some momentum. |

Another come from behind win for the ladies, this time over Iona on Education Day at Sojka. Remi Sisselman has established herself in the early going to the point where she may be challenging Collins as the teams best player. Also interesting to note the way Coach Woodruff is using his point guards. He has been starting Blake Hoffman, while captain Tai Johnson rides the bench, but when 4th qtr comes around it is Johnson that gets the call over the rookie. This team will only get better as the season rolls along. |

As you say, Blake Mathews has been starting at PG, which allows Collins to play off the ball, where it should be easier for her to score. However Mathews is inexperienced and rarely plays in the later stages. But Tai Johnson can't really play the point, which moves Collins over to that position when Johnson enters, with Johnson playing the two. Collins is the team's best defender, second best rebounder, and best scorer. Also clearly the team leader. Although she has struggled a bit in the early going - with the loss of O;Brien and Walls a big reason - it is likely she will end up as first team All-PL.

No disagreement here.Just saying Sisselman is coming on strong. Well I guess I jinxed Sisselman. In another game that looked winnable if the Bison had a decent 3 pt shooting performance the team made very few 3s and Remi was 0-9. |

Overall they were 2–21 from beyond the arc. If they had made a more normal seven threes, it would’ve been a tight game in theory. As it was, Syracuse won 65-48. Freshman center Grace Sullivan had a good game.

Couldn’t attend today due to a conflict, but three things stood out from the box score. First, another good game from Sisselman, who had 18 points. Second, I love seeing freshmen have good games. Kudos to Theodorsson, who had 10 points and 4 rebounds in 25 minutes. And third, speaking of freshmen, Blake Matthews, who is all of 5’4”, had 8 rebounds in 14 minutes. This is a young team that’s only going to get better. |

And, although Grace Sullivan did not score, she played 14 solid minutes, strong defense with 6 RBs, 2 assists and a block. Although her shots didn't go down, she had good moves to the hoop and wad good shooting form. So we have a great freshman class that should only get better. |

Saturday win at home vs. Stony Brook was impressive. Stony Brook are picked 3rd or 4th in their league, but BU Women outplayed them. Emma T., the Freshman recruit did not play due to a mild cold/headache, but she looks solid early on and has a nice pedigree. Between her and the much more aggressive Remi S., this team has a chance to mature into a force in the league, combined with what is already here, i.e. Cecelia and Emma S., etc. Bucknell outshot them 49%/37%. |

Bison put up a good fight on a night when they weren't shooting well. Went down 14 midway through the 3rd and came back to tie it early in the 4th. Then got down 7 again with 2:00 to play. Scored the last 7 points, including a buzzer beater by Collins, to force OT. Had opportunities in OT, but missed too many layups and FTs. Played an unusual lineup late in regulation and OT with Reinbeau, Dingler, Collins, Shaffer, King. Sisselman barely played, which makes me wonder if she is sick too. |

Collins' buzzer beater made the ESPN Top 10 last night: https://twitter.com/Bucknell_WBB/status/1 600539422... As for Sisselman, she did play 21 minutes, but shot 1-6 and had only one rebounds. Those stats may have been an issue rather than illness. She was subbed out 90 seconds into the game btw after throwing a bad cross court pass that led to a Penn fast break. Remi has had a number of good games this year, but she is not at the level where she is guaranteed 30 mpg. Only Collins and maybe Shaffer are in that category. Had Theodorsson been available, I think the Bison win this game in regulation.

Both Rebecca Loba and Kara Walters of UConn NCAA Championship fame have daughters coming up through the HS system. None appear to be Top 20 talent but are all over 6'1" and seem to have acedemics as important criteria. Bucknell could be the answer! |

Bison are tied with Buffalo at the half. Not bad considering they're playing 5 on 6, as one official has called at least 3 totally absurd offensive fouls on Bucknell. |

Women also open their season tomorrow vs. Holy Cross at home. Their tough schedule continues, as they play the 3 teams picked to finish ahead of them in the first 3 PL games. HC currently is the highest ranked team in NET and RPI ratings. These three games will tell a lot about whether this year's team can contend for a league championship. |

All of the various computer model sites have Bucknell favored in this game, with the spreads ranging from 5 to 8 points. HC has a better record, but they have played a much easier schedule. The Bison women have been hampered by constant illness of players. Hopefully everyone will be healthy for league play.

The PL overall is very weak this year. Army and Navy are two of the worst teams in the country. Lafayette and Loyola are only slightly less bad. Colgate is just moderately bad. American is a bit of a mystery. They went 1-10 OOC against a tough schedule (comparable to the Bison). I don't know if they've had injury issues or are just unusually bad (considering they are defending PL champs). |

I don't know if they've had injury issues or are just unusually bad (considering they are defending PL champs). American had their longtime coach, Megan Gebbia, leave late last spring to become the coach of Wake Forest. When she left, three or four of her seniors who were planning to return for a fifth year opted to enter the transfer portal and left. She also took a couple of her assistant coaches, so American ended up being much weaker than anyone would’ve expected back in March. Army is a bit of an enigma. They were picked for fifth place in the preseason poll, but have under performed. One issue is that they had one of the leagues top freshmen last year, Trinity Hardy, who tore her ACL at the start of December. She has yet to play this year so either her rehab has gone slowly or else she has been re-injured.

Cecilia Collins on crutches tonight at Lehigh. This game could get very ugly. Didn't watch it until last night, and ugly it was. Good game from Tai Johnson getting the start, but that was the only bright spot. King, Sisselman or somebody else needs to step up and make some 3's. Woodruff's offense doesn't lend itself to big comebacks, but I don't understand running 25 seconds off the shot clock when you're down 20. |

I think they really miss Cecelia as she makes the whole offense better in creating open shots for others, etc. I got the sense they were looking to find something without her, and it wasn't coming easily. I also think they came out loose and looked quite good in the first 6-7 minutes, but then they seemed to tense up and weren't as aggressive. BTW, I would note that Grace Sullivan had some good minutes on the floor and shows real promise. |

Good to get that 1st PL win. The defense was great until the last 5 minutes. Breakout performance by Theodorsen. Maybe she is the one who steps into Collins' shoes until she's healthy again. Hopefully, that give the rest of the team some confidence. |

This PORTAL business has to stop! The NCAA has tinkered too much with the system and now we reap the MESS that college basketball is! Until this transfer craze is repaired, and it may never occur, we'll have these young kids who are not yet Women nor Men, making foolish decisions to move here or go there. (see Jimmy Sotos, etc.) How can a Coach do justice to their program when you have this nonsense hanging over your head? This disease, and that's what it is, has affected both the boys and girls teams at Bucknell and everywhere else. Now I suppose we'll have somebody saying that Trevor Woodruff has been out of touch with his team/players, or some other trash? Thanx NCAA, for nothing, meddling in one of our nationally loved and supported past times, college basketball! |

These kinds of things will undoubtedly continue...which means that schools like Bucknell will serve as a farm system to develop players for schools with different standards. Players who leave forget the possibilities at Bucknell for a broad spectrum of experiences which can equip them to handle much more after hoops. Will we ever see a win in a NCAA D1 tournament again for the likes of Colgate, Lehigh and any PL school? |

The combination of NIL dollars and the transfer portal is making college basketball a highly segmented sport, made up of an ever shrinking number of haves and a growing number of have nots. In the future, I can see 40-50 teams in a new Division 1 with the remainder of the teams in a Division 2 like organization. |

Agree. There will likely be a structure like this, as now exists in football. Such is the pity. Although, is the NCAA willing to give up March Madness which allows an FDU or a Princeton to advance? My guess is that their viewership is up because of the "underdog support" syndrome which happens almost every year. |

It’s not up to me to say whether or not a decision is foolish for another person. Factors that drive a decision are individual in nature, and we are all different. In the example given, who is anyone but Jimmy Sotos to say his was a good decision or not? It is his life. Only he truly knew the variable considered, the facts that mattered. We were able to make our decisions, so let others make theirs. Just because Bucknell was right for you doesn’t major right for everybody. |

Say what you will, but it seems to me that a decision by these athletes to transfer is a basketball related decision more than it is an academic one. Now if CC transfers to Harvard, Yale or Penn, I will retract that comment. But the “ you can play right away” transfer rule takes stability away from college athletics and imo makes the name “student athlete” a joke. True as stated in an above post, we don’t know all of the factors involved, but I sure am skeptical about whether athletes are leaving Bucknell in order to get a better education somewhere else, and if it is to improve their basketball situation by going to a place where they will get more playing time ( which absolutely cannot be the case with CC), or more visibility in a higher profile program, then I think it is a bad decision. I am not referring here to COVID 5th year players, which is really an entirely different issue. Now is it possible that after two years in college a 20 year old may have gotten s firmer fix on what they want to do in life, and another school is better suited to provide the education they need ? Certainly! And in that case “go and good luck to you.” But for some reason I do not believe that is the case here. Finally as to the coaching change comment, there is no way Coach Woodruff is being fired ( short of having committed some grievous offense that I know nothing about) so if a change is coming, and the 2 women are leaving because of that, then Woodruff must be leaving on his own , and he has already told the team. If that is the case, we will know real soon I would think. Anyway, the transfer rule sux. |

You hit the nail on the head about the phrase "student athlete" being a joke. I read in the paper the other day about a pair of twins who transferred from the Fresno women's BB program to Miami where they are making $2M in NIL this year according to Forbes. There was always a degree to which the term mercenary could be applied to the revenue producing college sports but the combination of NIL and relaxed transfer capability has sent that into overdrive. The article was actually about Maggie Siegrist who talked about how NIL has transformed her life. It's hard to argue that athletes should be taking a longer view when they can cash in immediately, and at least in Siegrist's case she will have a diploma from a decent university in her back pocket should she need it when her athletic career has run its course. I know next to nothing about how NIL actually works but apparently alumni groups are instrumental in setting up NIL programs for the athletes they want to attract whether it be incoming freshmen or transferees. All of this plays into the hands of the P5 programs so don't expect to see changes any time soon. Nevertheless, while we get eaten by the bigger fish, in order to compete we will have to ensure that our own NIL programs enable us to compensate by attracting freshmen and transfers from lesser programs in turn. When Truax was talking about looking for a candidate who could recruit and develop kids, I suspect it's more important they succeed in working the transfer portal and building up NIL resources. |

54, you bring up a good point. I managed a number of start-ups and was able to provide motivators, often other than money, that incented great people to join versus going with a larger, more established employer. Without sounding like a Pollyanna, I know how difficult this will be but sense that Griffin will use every available resource including alumni, high school coaching contacts, etc. to sell Bison advantages versus Davis who appeared to isolate himself. If we could add the Bucknell Administration to that list re: transfers and 5th year players that would be significant. |

Griffin is young enough and has enough savvy and swagger to get us the players we need to succeed. But this whole NIL stuff is just another iteration of the days when we'd get the good players, and "the man" would take care of the academics until the last year when the player wouldn't graduate and be basically out on the streets. Now the carrot is money and playing time. I say lets pay and play. I also want to add that Bucknell did not participate in having "the man" help the players while they were in college, they have always been a legitimate upstanding great university with the nature of the bucknellian student being the immunity to the old social ill of questionalble university practices when it comes to winning basketball teams. |

Bison added a transfer from Fordham today: 5=9 PG Sophia Sabino, who was a redshirt freshman this past year. Missed her true freshman year due to injury. Her older sister played for Lafayette a few years ago and another sister played for St. Francis (PA). Sabino committed to Fordham prior to the start of her junior year. Sabino played for one of the NJ Shore's powerhouse programs, Red Bank Catholic, and also for the NJ Shoreshots, which is a very strong AAU program headed up by her mother. Incoming Bison recruit Rosey Scognamiglio also played for the Shoreshots for a number of years. Both Red Bank Catholic and the Shoreshots are loaded with future D1 players, so building a relationship in that area could be very valuable. The Bison still have two open roster spots, and I would not be at all surprised if there is not at least one more incoming player.

Remi Susselman has now entered the transfer portal. There may be more. I think eventually there will be a coaching change, but I’m not sure when. Sisselman ends up at Lehigh. Collins thus far has visited Penn State, Boston College, Fairfield, and maybe others.

Losing a player to another PL school sucks, as does this whole transfer portal concept. |

Klag into the portal Klag, as many know, was a preferred walk-on. She played only a few minutes this year, and was unlikely to ever see real playing time. My guess is that she finds a spot at a D3 school where she might have a chance to get on the court.

Collins just visited Richmond and its coach Aaron Roussell. Thus far she has visited BC, Penn State, Fairfield, Columbia, and Richmond. It would not surprise me if she ends up at Richmond.

Georgetown announced what apparently has been a done deal for a couple of weeks, that Bison associate head coach Kelly Mazzante is leaving to become an assistant for the new Georgetown coach. https://guhoyas.com/news/2023/5/9/womens- basketbal... Big loss for the Bison, but an understandable move for Kelly. Bucknell WBB tweet: https://twitter.com/Bucknell_WBB/status/1 655931743...

That can’t be a move based on basketball. |

That can’t be a move based on basketball. Columbia went 28-6 last year, tied with Princeton for the regular season Ivy championship at 12-2, ranked 6th in the mid-major poll, finished with a NET ranking of 47, and made it to the finals of the WNIT where they lost to Kansas. Given the trend line of Bucknell's program, this is a good basketball move and academic move. |

In a surprise, Klag lands at Colgate. Thought D2 or 3 was a more likely spot for her. |

Colgate really has no bigs , so maybe she thinks she can get on the court there. But her skill set makes that unlikely. I am assuming she is still a walk-on. Had she stayed at Bucknell, she would’ve been fifth on the depth chart when it came to people playing center.
