Bucknell, the 10th seed, takes on #7 American tonight. AU is about a 5-point favorite. If you want to make a lot of money - and think the Bison are going to win the PL tourney - you can wager $100 to win $25,000 on at least one site. That's how far BU has fallen under Nathan Davis.

I wonder how many fans packed the fan bus? They had trouble filling that bis even when Bucknell was reasonably good. |

At least the game had one highlight - Elvin Edmonds' basket from almost 75 feet to end the first half. I can't remember any Bison shot that long. Have there been any? Timmerman picked up the world's easiest assist for that basket, merely making a short inbound pass to an unguarded Edmonds. Under the statisticians' rules, there is no way that is an assist.

I didn’t watch the game but I saw Elvin’s basket. Maybe it was just the view I had, but as players were leaving the court I didn’t see anyone excited. Typically shots like that give a team a boost of energy but the players I saw did not look excited in the least. |

Not sure about the distance, but I remember a looooong tournament buzzer-beater in a losing game at Navy way back in the 1990s, I think. |

Looking at the media guide and elsewhere, it may have been in a 76-75 loss at Navy in the championship game, with Gordon Mboya making the buzzer-beater. |

Paul Olkowski threw in about an 80-footer at the buzzer to cut Fordham's lead to 80-75 at the buzzer of the 92 Championship game at Lehigh. |

In noticed this tweet from Sylvia Burwell, AU's president: "Go Eagles! Nice win over Bucknell. Excited for tomorrow's @PatriotLeague quarterfinal against #2 Navy." Looking at her tweets, I see that, despite AU generally having a horrible athletics program, that she has often tweeted about some AU sports item. In contrast, how often - if ever - do we see something from Dr. Bravman. In fact, how often is he seen at a game? I haven't noticed him in Sojka for years.

He had his picture taken on the new floor. He thought it was for country line dancing and barbeques. |

Bravman would show up if the team was winning. ???? |

I think he actually showed up when they were successful, especially for photo ops at tournament time. It was like "who was that masked man?" |

This is about ND and JT, not JB. If we Bison supporters feel strongly about the program and the need for better leadership, I encourage all of us to send emails or letters to JB and JT. The sooner the better. President Bravman does a great job leading the university and his attendance at games is not the core issue here. |

Boston and Army going to OT at West Point. Lafayette up by 23 over Lehigh at halftime. Didn't see that coming. |

AU beats Navy by 1. Looks like Lafayette will hang on to win. |

Navy, Lehigh, and Boston U all eliminated. LC will host AU in one semi. Not surprisingly, Brett Reed with a less than stellar coaching job.

Sheesh…what will the league look like next year? With Colgate losing several key players, will there be any quality teams in the PL? |

Don't count on Colgate losing more than Richardson and Lynch-Daniels. Records and MOffatt, both All-PL this year, are both eligible to come back for a 5th year. Judging by the past two years, it wouldn't be surprising to see them playing for Colgate again next year. If so, they would be a heavy favorite again. Lehigh could have all of their starters return, depending on whether Taylor opts for a 5th year. In that case, they would be the clear #2.

May be true but Reed didn't have his team do anything in the last 2 minutes when Lehigh had a possibility of pulling it out. Not fouling, not pressing defense.. |

With Colgate blowing out Army today, I’m curious why Matt Langel has not received interest from upper mid-majors. He’s always seemed like a super solid coach and has had very good success. |

I obviously do not know he won’t nor do I have any inside knowledge that he did not receive interest in the past….I’m just saying after several very successful years and seemingly a good recruiter/coach/person, he’s still at Colgate. Good/great coaches don’t grow on trees and I’d think he would/should have an opportunity if he chooses. |
