This game presents a strong common-opponent benchmarking opportunity, as the Explorers just hosted Lehigh on Wednesday, beating the Mountain Hawks 89-81.
Pomeroy has La Salle at 107 and the Bison at 137.
(Some amusing writing and quips in this piece on the Lehigh game and how it pitted two PhD coaches against each other http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/college s/la_sa... )

From La Salle's preview article:
•An interesting connection exists between La Salle University and Bucknell assistant coach Joe Meehan.
•Joe's grandfather, also named Joe, was a player on La Salle's very first basketball team in 1931 and was a team captain during his career with the Explorers
•The youngest Joe Meehan played high school ball at St. Joe's Prep under former La Salle head coach Speedy Morris.

I am so bummed out. Mrs. Bison89 just gave me a total guilt trip about going to the La Salle game and missing our sons' first high school swim meet of the season. As a dad, you gotta do what you gotta do. Oh well.
GO BISON!

LaSalle has a very experienced team, with a large number of transfers from big-time programs. Here is a quick rundown of their main players:
- Jordan Price - 5th year wing who transferred from Auburn and is averaging over 17 ppg for the third straight year.
- BJ Johnson - 4th year forward who transferred from Syracuse and is averaging 18 ppg.
- Cleon Roberts - 5th year wing who transferred from Georgia Southern and is in his third year as a LaSalle starter.
- Pookie Powell - 3rd year PG who transferred from Memphis.
- Amar Stukes - 4th year junior who started last year at PG.
- Demetrius Henry - 4th year PF/C who was a two-year starter at South Carolina before transferring.
- Tony Washington - 4th year center who started last year.
Note that those seven have collectively played 29 seasons (counting this year). Bucknell will rarely play a team with that much experience. Hopefully they won't play well as a unit.

Surreptitiously drain the pool early Saturday morning. You can go to the rescheduled meet.

I spent many more hours at swim meets (and practices) than at basketball games in the mid-2000's. I feel your pain.

From looking over the La Salle board, their fans appear to be overlooking this game. There is significantly more interest in discussing the Lehigh game that was played earlier this week and their upcoming Nova game. Let's hope that their players are thinking the same way.

Looks like there is online video available. Does anybody know if it is free? I can watch a swim meet and a basketball game at the same time!

Thank you for the link 89. We are in the middle of an away game stretch with three more away games until they are back home. There was only one home game from Nov. 19 until December 19 and the next home Saturday game is January 21!

Don't forget the women play at 2 PM today at Rutgers. The ladies are good and are capable of winning. Tough is the conflict in scheduling

Doubly annoying that they can't mute the audio in the replay

It is annoying that even the audio feed cannot work on a stinking iPhone. Cannot use tunein app for Eagle 107 due to contractual agreements, cannot listen thru Bisonvision while on my iPhone.....all of this technology and still can't get the game.

Now, I know why Jones is starting.
A little more D would be nice.

Thank goodness for Nate Jones today! Who saw THIS coming??? Yeah some better defense would be nice. Man, I guess O'Reilly is still in a slump....just don't know how much floor time he can see if he is going to shoot just 20-30%. He has to shoot well in order to play, imo.
