The Mids thus far have a home win over Lehigh and a close loss at Holy Cross. They are one of the better rebounding teams in the country, getting a high rebound rate from two 6-3 players. They have yet to have a key player miss a game, which has helped them achieve a 7-6 record thus far.

That's OK. We've looked sick for 30 minutes and still won games.

For some reason, the link is not working. This one should be good:

Also, look at what the Bison have done in the last decade:
--215-116 (.650) overall record
--128-36 (.780) Patriot League record
--8 PL regular-season titles
--4 PL tournament titles
--4 NCAA bids
--3 NIT bids
Will the Bison ever have a run like this again?

This was an interesting item in the Bucknell story:
Bucknell and Navy first met nearly 100 years ago on Jan. 31, 1920 in Annapolis. Navy won that inaugural meeting 15-13. Here is the account of that game from the New York Times a century ago:
"The Naval Academy barely nosed out Bucknell at basket ball this afternoon, the score being 15 to 13. The game was one of the best contested and most expertly played staged here for years. Both teams had a splendid system of defense and the individual playing was of a high standard. The Navy had the edge in working close for shots, but Waddell showed the best individual work on the floor and netted the ball on several long shots. He threw safely four times and was the only player on either team to score more than one field goal."

"He threw safely four times." Do you think that refers to free throws?

My guess was that he made 4 shots, but you might be right.

The Baltimore Sun's article on the game provides more detail. I don't understand why Bowser didn't start in place of Townsend to begin with. :-)

DoCtoR62, thanks for sharing the article. It was almost like reading Shakspearean English at times, but I really enjoyed it.

It also appears the Bison were prone to slow starts even 100 years ago.

Yeah a rough start but the Bison have turned it around. Love seeing Rice more aggressive driving the ball and then hitting a little pull-up. Looked good. I would’ve had Malachi in as the first big.

Wow. 4-23 from three with 8:00 to go. That is some bad shooting.

This is not a good team. It’s not a bad team. It’s a middle of the road Patriot League team which is something we haven’t seen for a decade.

This team has to do more than just shoot threes on offense. We’re not great shooters...have some okay shooters and some below-average.

I don't understand why Meeks isn't used more in the paint. He's got a good chance of scoring, good moves underneath, and I like the way he can shot falling away at 8 feet. He will draw fouls and can make free throws. He should be an early option, especially against smaller PL centers.
This was a game of what ifs. Bad shooting happens, but more variety in approach might have helped. Reminds me of the famous "motion" offense in the pre-Muscala Paulsen year(s)
