Tonight in Sojka. Navy is a 2.5 point favorite in the betting lines, despite not doing well thus far in PL games. Two items:
1. With the bad weather today, attendance likely will be awful. In 2022-23, the Bison have already had the four worst attendances in Sojka history for D1 games: 747 vs Marist, 747 vs Lehigh, 846 vs Loyola, and 847 vs St. Francis. This game might challenge that D1 record. The all-time Sojka low vs any competition was on December 22, 2003 vs Ursinus when 632 attended. Given that there are 625-650 season ticket-holders this year, it is unlikely official attendance (which is based on tickets sold, not people in the seats) will be lower than 632 for any remaining game. But 700 is very possible. Thank you, Nathan Davis.
2. It was pointed out to me that Bucknell has played at least one game in March each year for many decades. Checking back I see that the last time BU did not play in March was 1980. But this year the PL play-in game will be February 28th, so there is a good chance there won't be a March game. Thank you, Nathan Davis.
