In response to Bison137
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.
FWIW, that 1980 team was one of the best in school history. They played in the ECC against the likes of Temple, LaSalle and St. Joe’s, all of whom were top 50 programs during that era. There was talk about a possible NIT bid until the team inexplicably lost a road game at Gettysburg in mid-February. Instead, Lafayette, who shared the ECC West division championship with the Bison, got the bid. Also, that team would’ve gotten to March if it wasn’t a leap year.
