31-18 Laffy. Bucknell a turnover factory and Lafayette finishing the buckets.

Rhoades had one heck of a move to the hoop and was immediately pulled out after. Sums up the season.

Fitting that Fran's last game is a loss against the Bison. He had a lot of those over the years.

Yes. Rhodes has been significantly better than Vanderheiden most of the year, yet he plays a lot less. Rhodes is much better defensively and much much better on the boards. VDH’s only advantage is his ability to shoot threes.
Rhodes also is the loudest and he most energetic player on the bench.

You do. You took the time to reply.
Here’s a fun fact. The team shot 58% from the field and 52% from behind the arc and it took OT to win? That’s astonishing.

They gave up 1.21 points per possession, which is even worse than normal. And normal is number 356 in the nation. Also don’t forget that Lafayette is one of the poorer offensive teams (and defensive teams) in the nation.
And they let Lafayette steal the ball on 18% of their possessions. That is far worse than the average of the worst team in the nation in that category.
Unless they play markedly better on Thursday, they will lose by 20+ points.

So we apparently just figured out Malachi Rhodes' 6'8" 230 pound frame with explosiveness may be useful in the PL. He has things most PL players do not. Proud of these guys for finding a way to win. If we can manage to play the type of defense we played vs Siena (2nd in the MAAC) at Colgate, maybe we can shock the world. We should try a 2-3-2 defense to throw Colgate off their rhythm

So you didn’t watch but you did manage to find a stat to put a win, a 13 point come from behind playoff win no less, in a negative light. Hey, it’s been a miserable season and at least for two games we have seen some positivity.

One thing I forgot to mention is that if Bucknell wins two more games and American does likewise, then the championship game will be held in Sojka.
Of course if I pick the right six numbers in Powerball next month, I might be $100 million richer. The probability of the Powerball win is much higher.
