They just didn't have enough time to prepare for the tournament. Lehigh is a good team. You're not going to beat them while shooting this poorly and turning the ball over so many times. The only silver lining is that there is supposed to be a WNIT, so we presumably will get an auto bid if Bucknell will let them go.

Would sure hope so, but with this administration I wouldn’t count on it. Really sad for these fine young women to have to go through this. Go Bison.

Too much downtime. Couldn’t overcome the lack of work. They got it too a 1 possession game, but LU hung tough. Was impressed with Clair Steele for the Hawks.

Any word on a WNIT bid? It would appear that the women qualify for an automatic bid:
https://womensnit.com/sports/2019/2/10/Post _021019...
Unlike the men's NIT they have 32 teams scheduled.
They deserve a chance to play!
So far, they only list 5 automatic qualifiers:
California Baptist (22-0), WAC
Louisiana (16-6), Sun Belt
New Mexico (15-4), Mountain West
Samford (14-9), SoCon
UT Martin (20-5), Ohio Valley

From what I'm reading on Twitter it sounds like their season is over. I suspect Bucknell is not letting them travel to the tournament, especially since it is multiple days.

Wouldn’t be surprised at all. With this administration and AD athletics is not that important. BU used to be the gold standard of the PL, regularly winning team championships and President’s Cups. Now we’re middle of the pack at best and steadily becoming bottom feeders. Really sad and again I feel bad for these fine women and their coaches.

This is really sad. I’m a little stunned how slowly the vaccines are rolling out in rural Pennsylvania. My 78 year old mother still can’t get an appointment. That said, healthy 18-22 Division 1 athletes are not a risk group. Period. That’s established science at this point not conjecture.

It's not the AD. These decisions are being made at much higher levels.

Agree! Hard to imagine an AD de-emphasizing athletics.

Lehigh held on to beat Boston on the road. I have said all year they were the second best team in the league, and not far behind the Bison. A number of upsets in mid-major tournaments (MAC, CAA & C-USA) may help their seed. Can't see them being any lower than a 14.

So are the women considered PL regular season Champs? I certainly do. They are not going to the WNIT. Does anyone know for certain whether it was Bucknell that shut them down, or were they not offered an automatic qualifier bid, or did the team itself make a decision?

I don't know anything for certain. But I can't imagine the team would have decided not to play.

Lehigh is hanging around with WVU despite shooting poorly.
