The Buffalo game in two weeks should be interesting. Buffalo currently is ranked #59 (Massey) nationally with wins over good Syracuse and URI teams. Their only two losses are to #1 South Carolina and #20 OK State.

Stat of the night: Carly Krsul, 15 rebounds.
Sub-stat of the night: Carly Krsul 12 offensive rebounds.
Krsul is building a strong case to make some level of All-PL. In her previous two games, she had eight blocked shots.

Despite only playing about 24 mpg, Krsul is 2nd in the PL in blocked shots per game and 2nd in offensive rebounds per game.

Though I'm curious how many were her own misses, since she was 5-14. I recall one sequence when she missed 3 straight layups, but got 2 offensive rebounds on the stat sheet. That's one area where she (and Shaffer) need to improve.

And Lehigh drops to #25. American is among the others receiving votes, but they beat a poor Virginia team tonight - which likely will move them up in the voting.

Women moved up one spot to 18 in the mid major poll this week. Lehigh is still at 25. American is near the bottom of “others receiving votes.” Getting smacked by Towson after beating Virginia did them in.

A little tougher game coming up vs George Mason. They got a good win over Florida, but have two bad losses vs. W&M and Norfolk St. Also lost to American by 8 and barely beat a poor Navy team by 5.
It's a game we should win, but it's always tough coming off of finals break.

Another solid performance by the women. My stat of the game: 21 assists, versus only 8 for GM. Sisselman also had a great game.
As an aside, after almost sixteen years on this board, this is my 400th post, and it seems that like Zonker Harris I shall finally graduate. Fortunately for me, this board, unlike Bucknell, welcomes graduate eligibility. :-)

Two intersting factoids about the GMU win:
1. Over the first 2:35 of the game, Bucknell outscored GMU 13-0. Over the last 37:25 of the game, the score was GMU 67, Bucknell 64.
2. First half score: Bucknell 41, GMU 24. Second half score: GMU 43, Bucknell 36.
Sometimes the first few minutes of a game are just as important as the last few minutes.

A win against Buffalo would be a statement win. I’d be happy for a competitive contest.

From the Buffalo game thread:
Collins was also very impressive down the stretch. Hit a big 3 and made FTs in the crunch. I haven't seen other PL teams much, but have to think she's ROY if she keeps playing this way.
Collins received a well-deserved PL ROY award today. As for her chances of winning the yearly award, I think they are fairly good, assuming the bison are contenders all the way to the end. Right now there appear to be only two other possibilities: Loyola PF Lex Therien, who is 3rd in the PL in rebounding and top 20 in scoring; and Army SG Trinity Hardy, who is ninth in the league in scoring. Collins currently is 13th in PL scoring, but she is shooting at a much higher percentage than is Hardy.
Therien, btw, is the third of three sisters to play for Loyola in the last few years. Her father was a regular for the Philadelphia Flyers for well over a decade.

Bucknell and Buffalo swapped places in the mid major poll this week, with the Bison moving from 18 to 15, and Buffalo dropping from 15 to 18. Lehigh is the only other PL team in the poll at 22.
