Start time has been moved up to noon to try to beat the incoming storm. https://bucknellbison.com/news/2019/1/17/genera l-s... Women's game at Colgate moved earlier too. |

The Bison usually bus to Lehigh (and Lafayette) on game day. But in this case - with a very early starting time - I really hope they got hotel rooms for Friday night. Getting up by 6 AM to take a two-hour bus ride is not optimal to say the least.

Pretty sure that in Monday’s postgame interview, someone mentioned they’d be arriving in Bethlehem on Friday. |

Reportedly they had sold a lot more tickets than normal - combination of it being on a Saturday, plus a double-header, plus LU having had its best OOC record since CJ was there (albeit against a fairly weak schedule), plus it matching the top two teams. Unfortunately the Bison fan bus was canceled due to the weather, so that's a few less fans rooting for the good guys.

Stabler is a tomb on a good day. You might be able to hear a pin drop on Saturday. I remember going to one game at Stabler that was so quiet that every time that I yelled something at then Head Coach Billy Taylor, he either turned his head or winced. One of the times, I seem to remember yelling something like, "Hey, Billy, how was that job interview? Where are you going next?" For some reason, he did not like that. I don't know why . . .

One huge issue tomorrow will be defending the three-point line, while at the same time not giving up easy drives. As you may know, Lehigh is the runaway leader in the NCAA in 3-point percentage, hitting over 46% on the year. (The all-time PL record is 41.8%.) Here are the numbers for their main shooters: Lance Tejada 46-97 47.4% Pat Andree 45-94 47.9% Kyle Leufroy 25-56 44.6% Jordan Cohen 20-39 51.3% Marques Wilson 9-24 37.5% Caleb Bennett 9-24 37.5% Note that Marques Wilson is reportedly out for the year, due to academic problems and/or personal issues.

Mock "Dr." Dr. Reed all we want but I can't help wondering if he's discovered some secret sauce w/r/t 3 pt. drills & skills training. Holy mackerel, those numbers are off-the-charts amazing. Go Bison! |

Not sure if it's special drills, as opposed to him having landed four really good long-distance shooters through recruiting and transfers. One thing that likely helps their percentage is that, for a great shooting team, they don't really take a lot of three-pointers. Very selective, maybe overly so. Only 36.9% of their FGA's are from behind the arc, which ranks 225th in the NCAA. With their unbelievable accuracy, you'd think they'd figure out a way to shoot more of them. Otoh, a reason for their accuracy is likely that they only take good open looks. That seems to be the case across the NCAA. In general, the teams that shoot a lot of threes are only average in terms of their percentage, while the teams that don't shoot many generally have a much better percentage. As for "Doctor" Reed, I wish I could find the quote from Steve Jobs, when he voiced his opinion about how pretentious he found it for people who are not medical doctors or scientists to insist on being called "doctor". Not sure if a PhD in Instructional Technology from Wayne State would have passed Jobs' test.

I'll leave proclamations re: scholarly success to the academics. Go Bison! |

No I definitely agree. There is no reason a basketball coach should have other refer to him as a doctor. Not only does it sound pretentious, it gives a false bravado that his coaching technique is surgical (pun intended because I’m funny). But seriously the guy is a good recruiter...bad coach. Hope we can take advatage, because this game will dictate the season going forward. |

We've always had a tough time winning at Stabler and this game will be no different. We'll need to match their 3 point shooting and get some easy buckets inside to have a chance. |

This is a huge game to win, but no disaster to lose. In this league home games are “must†wins, but road games vs contenders fall into the “gravy†win category. That said, a few “gravy†wins would be nice. Also road games against bottom feeders are “musts.†It does not help that two of the alleged bottom feeders are tied for 3rd at the moment. |

Win or lose, Bucknell as a team is coming around into form and Sestina and others are playing well so it will be a good game. Sestina and his great play last week may be just the antidote for a bevy of three point shooters that Lehigh have. Kimbal always plays well but seems to be a wildcard when it comes to the collective psyche of the team when they are on the court. I do not know for sure, but I don't think Dr. Reed got his title from an online course. And I'm sure the players call him coach. Steve Jobs washed his feet in the toilet? Say its not so. Now I really need to watch the game and occupy myself the rest of this stormy weekend and try to forget. How did he get his foot in the hole? |

Not sure I understand the tremendous personal disdain and mocking of Reed year after year. A professor of Elizabethan Poetry is referred to as “doctor†so even though Reed’s accomplishment may not approach many other earners of a PhD, perhaps it gets more attention than is warranted? Refer to him as Coach Reed and if he gets upset, that’s on him. As for basketball, he seems to not always get the most out of his talent in terms of wins, but I know I’m always concerned when they play Bucknell. |

Personally, I have no problem with it. The term Doctor has been appropriated by the medical profession in the US. Outside of the US in other languages, it is very common to call non-medical professionals "Doctor".

Honestly it was a great half. Newman was the key to me in the half. Played great and filled in for Sestina nicely since he had 2 from the 11 minute mark. Lehigh shot the lights out and we still come away with the lead. Hope it continues...oh and the refs are awful as per usual. |

Lehigh shot the lights out and we still come away with the lead. Hope it continues...oh and the refs are awful as per usual. Indeed, Newman's development has been terrific. He's still a little adventurous on defense (strolls out to 3 pt. land too often/for too long) but, even there, he's clearly playing under much better control. Just a thrill to see him come into his own. Go Bison! |

I echo the praise for Newman’s play in the first half. Great job when his team needed him. I know the shooting gets the headlines, but both teams appear to have a nice offensive flow. Bucknell’s half court offense looks better than in many games this year. Lehigh’s 3-pt shooting is crazy. Andree hit two from ridiculous distance. Entertaining game. Hopefully Bucknell ends up with more points at the end. |

If you told me that Sestina was going to have only 2 points at halftime, I would have predicted that the Bison would be down 10-15 points. So, I cannot be happier.

Agree that Nate still has a penchant for silly fouls. If his fouls come from battling inside, so be it. Perimeter fouls for him are just bad basketball, imo. Avi, by my count, is shooting 2-16 following his hot start against HC. |

Prior to the game if I had told Bison fans that(a) Lehigh would hit 14-23 (61%) on threes; (b) the Bison would hit a pedestrian 36% on threes; and (c) Sestina would only play 21 minutes due to foul trouble, I wonder how many would have predicted a Bison win? Big games for Moore (19 points, 8 boards), Newman (10 and 7 in less than 20 minutes), and Kimbal (25 points, only 1 turnover albeit a big one). Key to the game was BU outrebounding LU 41-29.

The last two games there has been a noticeable difference in rebounding. Moore is definitely the main cause. But I don’t think it’s a coincidence that two of our best games of the season was when we did a good job on the boards. |

Moore's rebounding totals for the last four games: American 15 Holy Cross 10 Lehigh Prior to these games, he had played 80 games and, incredibly, his career high was 7 boards. Last year, believe it or not, he averaged 2.2 rebounds per game in about 21 mpg. If he can keep his play at the level of the last few games, the Bison will be very tough. And by the way, he is averaging almost 13 ppg over the last five games.

I agree with the adage that a lot of rebounding is desire. Have to want to get in position, have to want to be physical and work. Maybe the staff got on him? Because his career prior to this last five game stretch is a large sample size with lots of playing time. |

Toomer and Moore are gifted players I’ve never felt have properly broke out. But look at Kimbal! We’re a deep program that reloads rather than rebuilds. The last 15 years have been great times to cheer for the Bison. |

Realized that I had a couple of typos in my last post. Should have said: Moore's rebounding totals for the last three games: American 15 Holy Cross 10 Lehigh 8 - - - - - One interesting item occurred with 8:25 remaining in the game. Lehigh had three starters out - Tejada, Andree, and Karnik - who had been waiting at the table for about 40 seconds to get back in. Andree had sat for 7:30 with minor foul trouble and Tejada for over 6 minutes despite no foul trouble. LU is obviously not as good with those three out. In any event, Mackenzie scored for the Bison. No whistle or stoppage of play, but suddenly the horn sounded, apparently inadvertently. After the refs sorted it out, the three subs were allowed to come into the game. Without the whistle, it is possible they might have been stranded on the sideline for another minute or more. I don't know the rule - if there is any - for an inadvertent horn. But I do know that if there is an inadvertent whistle then no subs are allowed to enter the game. I'm not sure if the refs got this right.

I thought it was a great game and am looking forward to the rematch at Sojka. Bragging rights for first place go to Bucknell. I was bothered at the beginning of the game when Kimbal scored the first points of the game but it was waved off by the refs because the 24 second clock didn't start. I felt we were robbed of 3 points and that makes a difference in these close ones. Otherwise it was an enjoyable game to watch with lots of lead changes. |

Andree had sat for 7:30 with minor foul trouble and Tejada for over 6 minutes despite no foul trouble. LU is obviously not as good with those three out. In any event, Mackenzie scored for the Bison. No whistle or stoppage of play, but suddenly the horn sounded, apparently inadvertently. After the refs sorted it out, the three subs were allowed to come into the game. Without the whistle, it is possible they might have been stranded on the sideline for another minute or more. I don't know the rule - if there is any - for an inadvertent horn. But I do know that if there is an inadvertent whistle then no subs are allowed to enter the game. I'm not sure if the refs got this right. 137, I found that strange also. I'm pretty sure that players cannot enter on an inadvertent whistle. If they can, wouldn't that be the essence of home court advantage?

I was just looking over the box score. The numbers are crazy. If I told you before the game that Sestina would play only 21 minutes and have 10 points AND Lehigh would shoot 61.9% from beyond the arch, who would you have predicted to win the game?

I was rather impressed that we held a 2pt lead going into the half with Lehigh scorching the nets going 8-10 from 3 |

Hard to figure, but the numbers don’t lie. They scored 18 more points than us via the 3. We scored 16 more than them via the 2, for a combined two point advantage to LU. We scored 4 more foul shots (11-7) than them, thus 2 points final margin in our favor. We basically made (and took) more shots than they did, and surprisingly, for a road game, got to the line more often, and while we were not lights out at the line our 68% beat their 53%. |

Not sure if Bison have a "Big Man" coach, but have noticed for past 5+ games, both Moore and Newman have been using their legs and lower body more to box out. Before, they appeared to primarily rely on their arms. Poor technique and neither strong enough to get by this way. Have to give kudos to coaching staff for this improvement. |

Great insights HoleinOne. I hadn’t even thought to look for that. |

HoleinOne, good observations. Also, Newman's improvement cannot be overstated. He is a different player from last year. To be honest, I had some concerns about him last season. Now, I am impressed. So, yes, I agree that the Bigs Coach should be commended.

Not surprisingly, also made the top play of the week in the PL. https://watchstadium.com/network/patriot-leagu e-ne... Sotos is getting all the attention, but Mackenzie and Moore were the stars of this game. |

I would add a third star, the two-headed monster at center. who collectively got 20 points and 14 boards while playing exactly 40 minutes. Btw, since Christmas Sotos has 55 assists and only 14 turnovers; almost 8 assists per game and almost a 4:1 assist to turnover ratio.

Late to the conversation, but, I attended the game spontaneously. It was a great decision. I was impressed with the way we moved the ball. We were very effective. Bruce Moore played a great game. He seemed to be everywhere and made big shots. I was stunned that McKenzie had as many points as he did at the end. He plays very smoothly, almost quietly. Newman is also looking very solid. Overall, it was an exciting, well-played game by both teams. |

Sotos is getting all the attention, but Mackenzie and Moore were the stars of this game. An amusing detail to this play is provided by the LU Women’s team which is waiting just to the viewers right of the Bison bench to take the court for their game. As Sotos makes the shot virtually every LU Ladyhawk is striking the same “0h no!†pose, arms raised, hands on head. |
