Great game! Nip and tuck for most of the first half, until Q opened up a 7 point lead late second quarter. Then the Bison avalanche began. BU rallied to take a 1 point lead at the half and then scored the first 14 of the third quarter to blow it open. Quinipiac’s omly Other loss in their previous 25 games... UCONN.
1. Following up on the streak across the second and third quarter. With 3:25 left in the second quarter, it was Q in front by a 37-30 score. By halftime, it was BU 38, Q 37. And over the first 4:22 of the third quarter, it suddenly became Bucknell 52, Quinnipiac 37.
2. Quinnipiac is definitely the real deal. Watching them play for the first 17 minutes was seeing high quality basketball - great shooting, crisp offense, very few turnovers, and well-coordinated defense. Despite not having much size at all. Having said that, once the Bison onslaught began, their shooting suddenly went ice cold and the turnovers began.
Q starts four seniors, all of whom started for last year's great team. And their first sub is another senior who saw extensive PT last year. The one difference from last yeqr - and it could be a big one - is that they lost the coach's daughter, who was the starting PG.
