The game with Loyola in Sojka was tied until Sotos made three FT's with less than six seconds remaining. So Loyola is clearly a dangerous team that has been getting better as the season progresses. Interestingly, the linked game article lists Sotos as a Bison starter (as opposed to the previous games that said "Sotos OR Jones"). I have no info at all, but I will be surprised if he starts.

Biggest difference in Loyola, they simply play hard as hell for 40 minutes and the Princeton stuff, when run right, is tough to guard for 30 seconds. Kostecka, now healthy, playing strong basketball. |

Video is OK for me, albeit with a late start. No sound however. I am watching on a PC. Sotos started, but he did not look very comfortable throwing long pass with his right arm.

Can anybody tell me why if there was a T on Kostecka that Bruce just took his second foul shot and there were no tech FT’s taken and Buck gets ball back as well? |

I guess it’s always better to be on the right side of an ugly half of basketball. Once again guys in stripes don’t really have control of the game |

Apparently they called a double technical. |

I missed some of the first half. So far in 2nd half Bucknell’s defense is very poor but Loyola missing so many easy shots. Huge lead now down to 4. Glad to see Jimmy playing although he obviously is having some pain. |

Apparently they called a double technical. Yes, on Kostecka and Toomer.

Good win, I would be lying if I wasn't worried about this game considering out home game against them. But happy we got the wire to wire win. Honestly, I think Kostecka is punk. He has an anger issue it seems, and you can get under his skin. But his antics are more annoying than anything. Happy to see him foul out and constantly look like a petulant child on the court. And the Double technical with him and Avi was ridiculous. It probably should have been nothing, but definitely shouldn't have been anything on Avi. Big win tonight and fortunate losses around the league. We take care of business Saturday and then again on Monday against Lehigh we can lock the regular season up. |

Crd...agree...if we come out of Monday at 11-2 it will take an absolute breakdown not to be PL RS champs as we would have gone 2-0 against LU. Home court for tourney and a locked up NIT bid at minimum would be a great achievement in early Feb |

I continue to marvel at this program. To be able to have a conversation about clinching a regular season title during the first week of February ... after graduating the best class in league history ... is ridiculous. Big weekend ahead and I take nothing for granted. Love watching this team play. |

They beat the first place team and lost to the last place team. And that loss following two good wins against HC and Colgate. Nothing is certain in this league. |

Plus, I did add that I take nothing for granted. |

Was anybody else as impressed with Kostecka as I was? He shoots, scores, steals, has assists, and busts his butt on D. He would look great in Orange and Blue. Did we recruit him?

Clearly it’s 1 game at a time...but you’re at home and BU put a hurting on you at their place and then you got LU for a Monday night showdown...no WHOA! Win two and go 2 up with the tiebreak lead means you’re really 3 up because you can still lose two while LU needs to go 5-0. Point is...win two now at home and you’re in the drivers seat 💺ðŸ€ðŸ¥ƒ |

Yes, Kostecka was impressive - except when he acted like a jackass and drew that technical. He committed to Holy Cross before his junior year even began - when Milan Brown was coach. At that time, it was his only offer although Bucknell and a couple of others had interest. After Brown was fired by Holy Cross, he decommitted from there. A few months later, he chose Loyola. At that point, it appears his only other offer was St. Francis. He improved a lot his senior year in HS, and has continued to improve. Looks like he will make 1st team All-PL if he continues this standard of play.

This is a tough stretch, not that it's ever easy, which was my point. After Lehigh, we have two tough road games at HC and Colgate. A lot can happen in seven games. Coach Davis and the team have done a great job in PL play and hopefully can sustain that. |

In its surprising (to me) win over Army, I understand Holy Cross used a different starting five. It's wise to be wary of a new-look 'Cross (and everyone else we play). |

They started Floyd, Butler, Green & Grandison who I believe have started every game all year. I assume the change is Zignorski for Faw? Maybe just trying to keep Faw in for the end more (believe he DQ’d really early in the game at Sojka if I remember correctly). Army shot 26% from 2 and 20% from 3. You won’t beat the Lady Vols with those numbers. Floyd got 8 shots again. If they had any brains they ‘d scrap the Princeton address and go 4O/1I and pound the ball to Floyd. He’s a huge weapon in the PL that they don’t sufficiently exploit. He should be on the box and touch the ball everytime down. You get him 20 shots per game in low and HC is going to put a lot of foul pressure on opposing 5 men. Don’t know why they have him 18 feet from the basket. That said, Carmody is a relatively respected coach and they are 7-3 at home. All road games are a wrestling match but tough to beat Buck or LU scoring in the 50’s. Colgate on the road a nightmare as well |

Actually the change was Zignorski for Benzan. Faw had not started since returning from an injury. The bigger change was that Carmody actually used his bench for a change.
