CBS Sports TV is killing me. Living on the Left Coast, I will have to record the game and watch it when I get home.
If they had an online video feed, it would be so much better.
GO BISON!!!

Makes it difficult! I miss a lot of the regular season games even the with 7 pm tip, it's called traffic. That's where saving the PTO (personal time off) comes in handy.

Bison by 12. Seems like a fair line to me.

Lafayette Game Notes:
http://www.goleopards.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec- rel...
Wow, Lafayette really shot well at HC. 68% (13-19) from behind the arch is amazing. 3 pt D is the key to this game.
Looks like it is time for Cohen and Ayers to show them how to play some tight, in your face, man to man D. Also, the students need to get LOUD and rattle LC's shooters.
GO BISON!!!

Lafayette lives and dies by the three for sure. Got to shut them down from behind the arc.

Odds Shark has a preview of the game from a betting perspective with the Bison as a 12 pt favorite:
http://www.oddsshark.com/ncaab/bucknell-bison- vs-l...
The stats seem to indicate that LC does not play anywhere near the D that the Bison can. Also, the Bison have a rebounding edge.
I would be happy with a 13 point Bison victory. Then again, I would also be happy with a 1 point Bison victory!

I believe they set a PL record.
What sort of scares me is that if you buy into Ken Pomeroy's statistical insights, defending the 3PT shot is more luck than anything else (i.e. defense).

Looking like a win (knock on wood!) sets us up for a rematch with Lehigh...

I'm wondering why McCollum's still on the court with Lehigh up 26 and 3:45 left. Perhaps to get his 2,000th career point.

Awesome performance. The bigs were amazing, and they played great D. This is the matchup we all expected. Can't wait for Wednesday.

That was most likely it. According to the writeup at LU, NBA folks were in the house. Why didn't Paulsen clear the bench with a 30 point lead? Hooptime even asks the same question.

If Bucknell wins Wed., my money's on Wilman.

Why didn't Paulsen clear the bench with a 30 point lead?
Unfortunately it's not hockey, where you can change on the fly. When the lead got up to 28 points with about 5 minutes left, Paulsen had Andoh, Singleton, and Starkey at the table waiting to go in. As it turned out, there were no stoppages in play until the lead got to 32 a couple minutes later. Then those three went in.
Muscala did not play at all for the last 12 minutes and Willman did not play at all for the last 9 minutes - so I'd say BU went pretty easy on them. Margin could have been 40 if the starters had stayed in.
