Several things about Sat. game with Navy, Senior Day with a 12pm tipoff and more importantly 11:45am player/parent introduction. Another day with tight parking on campus, plan to get in Sojka and Lewisburg a little early, urged to wear Orange for the remainder of home games. Hopefully the students will get up early and come off the hill and support their team and classmates. One final comment, if you are in the building and see someone that looks like Chris Haas, he is back in Lewisburg and will be at the game. I got to talk with Chris today and he is doing well and looking forward to seeing the game tomorrow. Maybe a little extra incentive to play well, for their old team mate.

Ben Oberfeld will start tomorrow. Will be great to see him in uniform one more time.
"The Minnesota native has not been able to play at all this year due to a history of concussions, but the Navy program has graciously agreed to let “Obie†take an uncontested opening tip, after which he immediately will be replaced in the lineup by Zach Thomas."

Nana isn't dressed, I'm guessing he's out from being poked in the eye last game.

Go Ben Oberfeld! I'm happy the seniors are starting on senior day. Just a few years ago we had the 1 seed locked up and we were playing Navy and the seniors didn't start. Today is the way it should be. Maybe all NCAA teams can have some sort of in game tip ceremony to honor the seniors.

Per Doug and the Geisinger Sports Medicine Injury Report(R), said to be an eye injury. It is hoped he will return to practice on Monday and play Thursday.

That falls a good deal short of "he WILL return to practice on Monday and play Thursday."

Nice energy from the team so far today, leading 28-4. Navy is having a nightmare shooting half. JohnnyA and Zach playing very well...really everyone is playing well.

Any word on why Zach left? Seemed like he was not in any discomfort.

He did appear having discomfort, limping up the court, taking himself out and immediately going to he locker room. Definitely hope it is just a minor ankle. He is warming up coming out of halftime, so hopefully it isn't serious.

He's apparently okay. Now please get him out. Kept the 20+ lead through the first 4 min.

Wow, some very ugly basketball so far in the second half...turnover after turnover.

IMO, Bruce Moore would start and be All PL Freshman on most PL teams. There will still be a logjam of bigs next season, but Coach Davis needs to find more PT for him. He can play D, shoot inside, shoot outside, rebound, and make FTs. Once Thomas graduates, he should really come into his own.
Kimbal Mackenzie is so smoothe. When he pulls up for a 12-15 foot J, it is almost automatic.
Bring on the playoffs!

Nice turnout for Senior Day, community support probably best of the season. Student section pretty full for first half, they honored 3 or 4 teams for Patriot League Championships, really added to the crowd. Team played well, TV game, nice college atmosphere, all in all, one of the best games of the year.

I haven't commented much this year but have been following closely. Great regular season, but we all know that means very little. NIT is nice, but none of us want that.
I think Bruce Moore is going to be a real difference maker for this team. He's the kind of recruit that Bucknell wouldn't historically get. He's a very big and athletic guy who can really play the 2-4 without real issues. His defense and rebounding is great. He has to work on his offense a bit, like improving his first step but I can see him dominating the PL.
Kimball is my favorite player on this team. He always seems to make the right decision and I tend to trust him the most to calm the team and make a shot that stops runs. Also, he's the guy I want to be on the free throw line at the end of the game.
Thomas seems to make the dagger shots for us, but Kimball always seems like the guy that stops the runs or ignites one. Hopefully Thomas is good to go with the ankle, he didn't look like he had the same lift in the second half.
And lastly, that game was unbearable to watch. The refs were horrible and ruined any flow in the game.
