Back for round 2. Lehigh has emerged as the 2nd best team in the league after their dominant sweep of Holy Cross and Boston's loss at Army. This will be a tough test after a 2 week layoff. The league's best offense vs. the best defense.

It was a close game for 3 quarters, we only lead by 7. But they opened it up in the 4th to lead by 17 with 2:00 to play. Ended up 76-64.

Close, but you never felt that the Bison were not in control.

Women have clinched the top spot in the Central mini-conference. Theoretically LU could still tie for 1st, but the Bison would own the tiebreaker.

The schedule still shows them playing Loyola next weekend instead of making up their games vs Navy. Do you know if this is accurate? It doesn't matter much since both teams are playing poorly this year.

No idea. But I do know that the way things are going, teams won't end up playing all of the same teams they were supposed to play. I think the PL has screwed up in a major way by not making up any games at all during January, when the covid exposure was much less (no students on campus) and when midweek series were easy due to no classes. Now they are going to try to do massive series of makeup games that will have to be juggled with classes. The PL personnel are way over the head when it comes to complicated scheduling issues.

Yes, the scheduling was problematic from the beginning. Better, yet why not start playing conference games in December? Oh well, we're 7-0. Hopefully, there is still a PL and NCAA tournament.

These are the same Patriot League officials who let Boston U's softball team refuse to play the final game - which would have decided the top seed and home field - and just hop on their bus, without permission, and drive home. No punishment and the reward of an undeserved #1 seed. Inept is too kind a word to describe the PL operation.

The officiating has been horrendous. But that one went our way.

With 10 seconds left in the 3rd, the Bison trailed by 15 points. Then outscored LU 25-6 until the waning seconds of the game.
Huge win for seeding purposes. Boston U has an incredibly easy schedule and likely will run the table. So Bucknell needs to also run the table to be assured of the #1 seed.
Other than Bucknell and Boston U, the next best teams are Lehigh, Lafayette, and American. Over the course of the season, Bucknell plays those teams ten times. Boston U plays them zero times.

I have never seen a PL women's game where the officiating wasn't horrendous. It's just a question of the degree of horrendousness. It's impossible for the NCAA to find many competent refs who want to do the women's games.

Had a 26-4 run spanning about 11 minutes. Went from down 18 with 1:40 to play in the 3rd to up 4.

And they even screwed up the timeout counts. Did Dr. Reed have a hand in the endgame?

Right LU calling a TO that they did not have (but which apparently showed on the scoreboard) gave the Bison two additional free throws which put the game beyond the reach of even a Griffen type 3. What a tremendous, gutsy win. Yes
