In response to Bison137
Fwiw, that ‘61-62 team ( which was my era) played in the Middle Atlantic Conference which included LaSalle, St Joes, Temple and Rutgers among it’s members. St. Joes won the conference, and in fact demolished the Bison by 30 points. It was a 10 team conference, but a look at the final standings reveals an unbalanced schedule. Bison played 11 conference games, St Joe played 10, LaSalle only 8, Delaware 13 and Lehigh 14. The Bison lost in ot to Rutgers 79-78,and the two wins came against Gettysburg a 74-50 romp, and Muhlenberg 100-67. Bison played G-burg a second time and lost by 10. Before laughing about Gettysburg, know that they were 18-6 for the season and 7-5 in the conference. We also played Delaware twice losing at home by 6 and by 18 in Newark.
The highlight of the season was a 75/59 win over what was considered to be a pretty good Navy team which went 13-8 for the season,( Navy was a non conf game) After losing to the Bison the Mids next game was at Penn Stste which they won by 12, 79-67.
Finally, the Bison played PSU themselves two times that season, losing 61-50, and winning 69-68. Overall record for the year was 7-15.
