Hmmm! I wonder what this means for Sunday's game.

I'm envisioning March Madness being played in empty arenas with crowd sound effects.

Interesting. A few weeks ago Navy had to postpone a lacrosse game due to many of their players having Norovirus (totally different from CoronaVirus), which is quite contagious and causes vomiting and diarrhea. But that illness was largely confined to the one team. Other Navy teams didn't cancel games.

It may be that Boston U lacrosse has something similar. Hopefully not affecting basketball. In any event, this will be an issue for the lacrosse schedule. The team will likely have to take a 14-hour midweek round trip bus ride to Boston since no weekend dates are available for rescheduling.

For anyone driving to the game, I advise you to give yourself a little extra time to find parking. Boston U is hosting the IC4A/ECAC track meets all weekend at their indoor facility, which is almost adjacent to Case Gym. Not sure how much traffic this meet creates, but it has to be a fair amount. And I have seen some days when the closest lots were filled.

Or arrive early and cheer for the Bucknell athletes competing in the meet.

Please don’t panic when the other side makes 3’s by crazily launching your own. Inside game with Newman opens up everything else.

Seems rebounding is an issue...but came out the second half with more of a purpose on both sides of the ball.

Got so close on that great run and then they got sloppy and reverted to launching up 3's again. Sounds awful but Funk shouldn't be on the court right now.

Get within four and then two straight easy Mahoney buckets and a complete breakdown allowing Whyte an uncontested dunk. Spear looks gassed as part of the problem with that last Whyte bucket was Khalil jogging back on defense. Also, we’ve talked ad nauseam about the switching, but it is obviously allowing Boston easy rebounds. Mahoney just reached over Avi for an easy put back. Also, we have a few players that are just very poor defensively and at defensive rebounding. If you’re watching you know who they are.

Avi almost single-handedly kept his team in it, and came very close to hitting a tying 3. Feel bad for him especially.

We were hoping for a nice PLT run and a miracle NCAA bid, but realistically, we got about as much as could have expected. Decent PLT run, and a good showing in the semis. Time to put this season in the books, and good riddance to it.

We need to give the guys credit for continuing to work and scrap, both today and for the season. It didn't end the way we hoped, but it wasn't for lack of effort. Avi especially, really stepped up and played like a senior these last three games. He is the guy you want taking the last shot. It's a shame it didn't go in, but that's been the story of this season. There is a lot to look forward to for next year.

Agree 100%. Avi has always worked really hard and played very good defense. Would have liked to see him all season looking for his shots as much as he did today.

Bison today allowed Boston U to get a very high 36% of available offensive rebounds, while at the other end the Bison got only 10% of OR's. That is as big a reason as any for the loss.

I am more frustrated now than anything. This team is more talented than it performed. It was poorly coached this season.

Husky, I was thinking the same thing throughout parts of the entire season.

I wonder how much losing certain assistant coaches has hurt this team. BTW, I could be completely wrong. Just wondering.
New season, new team, new dream . . .
