“In the second half†is the key distinction here. First half’s continue to be scripted and it almost cost us the Army win (+1 to -7 with 5 pt deficit at half left little margin for error). Very limited use of Rice/Timmerman in conjunction with no PT for Ellis at LC will show whether we have abandoned the 9 man first half rotation. Not clear to me why we have abandoned Spear in favor of Timmerman. That can’t be mandated by the comparative performances in OOC that we’ve watched. Spear did not provide any O vs Army but was well positioned defensively defensively throughout the 2nd half. Gets the ball of the rim defensively quicker than anybody else.
This is a game Bucknell should win although no Bruce leaves us with even less defensive flexibility. Sleep at home and short trip are positives (unless we go down today)
