I know there is some wringing of hands over playing Lehigh in the semis, but what does it matter? We need to beat them if and whenever we play them. Losing to Lehigh or anyone else in the tournament will be a huge disappointment.
Lehigh is a team that is hitting almost 47% of its threes in 16 PL games - and over 51% on threes in its last eight PL games. It is a team that has some major flaws but which is capable of beating anyone due its great 3-point shooting. If Bucknell brings its A game, I think they will normally beat any PL opponent. But LU might be the exception if they hit something like 17-30 on threes, which they are more than capable of doing.
Yes, the Bison might have to meet them at some point. But I would rather wait to play them in the finals and hope they have a bad game and get knocked off prior to that.
