Siena acts like they’re playing a major and had no chance to win.

I don't like the Maple Leaf Marvel either, though I applaud Doug for making it up. I think it should be Kimbal the nimble thimble. That fits him much better. The Bison are playing well and Birdsong is on point.

Refs are beginning to ruin the game. Naturally. Little Napoleons.

What's the Bucknell scoring record in regulation? 100 already with 7:00 to play.

It would have been nice to see the second team offense work without OReilly shooting threes every possession

115 points is a lot to score against anybody. OK, next!

I assume no one is concerned about free throw shooting tonight.

Nice to Robertson get some playing time. Kids got some moves. Impressive offensive performance despite the poor officiating.

Bucknell played really well with good individual performances notably Bruce Moore, Nate Sestina, and Ben Robertson. Meeks and Sotos played well as did the big three (Foulland, Brown, and Thomas). Kimble the nimble thimble played great and he's back on track the future looks bright for him. I think this is what a typical Patriot league game is going to look like, we will be dominant. Birdsong called a good game.

Nice to get a result - on to Ball. Anyone know what Avi’s actual injury is?

Bruce looked good...well lots of guys looked good. Overall, rebounding still is a minus. 115 is crazy..seemed effortless as well. But my goodness, the number of foul calls was almost crazy. And giving up 92 isn’t good no matter the game situation. But glad the bench got a good run. Hopefully a good all-around performance is on tap for Wednesday. And speaking of on tap, I think my pre-game at the Tavern had something to do with the victory tonite.

Ha Phillie. That’s definitely a scientific sample so stick with it!

1. Yes, some good minutes for Bruce, although consistency is still an issue.
2. Officiating was awful. Part of the issue, I think, is that it was very much a mixed crew. Donnie Eppley refs 100 games a year at every level from P5 conferences to the lowest D1 leagues. The second official refs almost exclusively in the southeast - not sure how he made his way to Lewisburg. And the third ref (Walker) is a D3 ref. Not sure why he was assigned this game. In any event, Siena's incredibly bad defense was a major contributor to the number of fouls. They gave almost no help at that end, leaving the defenders out to dry. Had Bucknell just given the ball to Thomas each time and cleared out, he might have shot over 40 FT's.
3. Giving up 92 points certainly doesn't look good, but some context is necessary. BU cleared the bench at 8:30 with a 94-63 lead. At that point, there had been 63 possessions, meaning they gave up exactly 1.00 points per possession - which is better than the NCAA average. However the subs (PF Meeks, SG O'Reilly, PG Sotos/Sechan, C Newman, and SF Robertson - plus a few minutes of Sestina) gave up 29 points over the final 19 possessions. That is not good and made the overall defense look mediocre. Their focus appeared to be more on scoring than on stopping Siena. But the defense over the first 31:30 was OK. I would still like to see some zone however.
4. Sotos had a really good game. As he gains confidence/experience, he is getting better each game. Great handle, great court vision, and a good overall game.
