Men's Schedule Released

Some good features imo:
1. Start of a series with Penn. Last meeting unbelievably was in 2004.
2. Only one power-conference game. This team isn't ready for top teams.
3. Renewal, after eight years, of a series with one of the closest D1 programs, St. Francis.
4. La Salle returns to Sojka.
5. Continuation of the series with Princeton.

The schedule posted at the top of the thread had an incorrect day of the week for the Rider and Illinois State games. The above is the corrected version.

Only four home games stinks. And I agree games against any power conference team could be embarrassing.

Reader's note: as a casual reader of the board I am finding the persistently negative comments to discourage coming around. The team is the team. I don't expect something happy-clappy but pouting is unattractive.

Thanks for this post A Western Bison. As one of the more objective posters, what kind of board do you want to participle in if both the positives and the negatives of the club aren’t discussed? This team is likely to really stink this year. I also hope I’m dead wrong, Andre Screen wins POL, and Nathan Davis addresses the rightful criticisms most of us have had of his coaching style. If no one is using profanity or making ad hominem attacks, I don’t understand how making legitimate comments about the state of the program is negative.

It's like flogging a sick mule. It probably won't make a difference and it is hard to watch.

Holy Cross just released their schedule. It makes one really appreciate the Bison schedules, as the HC one is not attractive. Among other things, only two D1 home games, plus two D3 opponents (Regis College and Mt. St. Vincent) that didn't even play last year.
Regis College (home)
Boston College (away)
Quinnipiac (away)
Air Force (Daytona Beach tournament)
Bethune-Cookman or Bryant (Daytona Beach)
Mount St. Vincent (home)
New Hampshire (home)
CCSU
La Salle
Fairfield
Siena (home)
Harvard
St. Joseph's

Men's Schedule Released
09-29-21 11:12 AM - Post#326839
In response to bison63
Full league schedule has been released by many schools, but not Bucknell so far. The Bison will open the PL schedule on New Year's Day (Saturday) at Boston U. They also travel to Navy on Friday January 7th and to Loyola on January 10th before hosting Lehigh on January 13th (Thursday). Also they travel to American on January 16th (Sunday). There is also a game, presumably at Sojka, on January 4th against an opponent who has not yet posted their league schedule.
Tough opener, Boston U on the road. They figure to be one of the league favorites, with virtually their entire team returning. That includes a couple starters who will be playing their fifth season: 6-10 C Sukhmail Mathon and All-PL 6-5 CG Javonte McCoy. Also All-PL Walter Whyte returns for a 5th year, one of them due to an injury redshirt. He will likely come back next year as well by using the NCAA waiver.

Looking forward to the Princeton, Albany, Mercer, and Penn games. A little over six short weeks, and covid behind us. The team won't be a disaster as some think. Maybe some pleasant surprises. Time to count down the days!

Wed / Jan 19 Colgate*
Wed / Jan 26 Navy*
Sat / Jan 29 Loyola*
Wed / Feb 9 American*
Sat / Feb 12 Holy Cross*

Reports from first week of practice:
Screen got better and stronger.
Funk is shooting well and passing at a high level.
Rice, Funk and Screen seem to be emerging as the core.
Bascoe is a pesky defender and elite shooter.
Newton is a high energy rebounder/defender, showing elite offensive rebounding skill.
Motta will see time for his balanced skill set.
Edmonds is also an all around talent, who has the maturity to be a strong backup PG or starting backcourt mate with Rice.
Timmerman is in great shape and competes well with Screen every day.
Rhodes has improved his outside shooting, and continues to be a mature player.

Also was talk about the benefits of only 11 scholarship players. More reps in practice, and the ability to keep everyone happy with PT in games. Regardless of wins and losses this season, there should be more development than in a traditional 13 scholarship season. As we've seen, many times over the last decade all 13 were very good, which was a good problem to have, but still a problem. In this transfer era, keeping the whole roster happy is crucial.
Glass half full take, but noteworthy.
