Wasn’t able to watch the game because I was at an engagement party but ecstatic to see this win. This was a must win for us. Now I’d like to see us keep this rolling with wins at Northeastern and La salle. A VCU win be huge, but not expected from my end. But this is the kind of win that gives us the confidence to roll.

Thought we were much more consistent in hedging the ball screen. Nana and Bruce hedged hard a number of times and Zach was at least showing an occasional ghost (very ghost!) hedge. Don’t know why we were running the weak side guy to assist in the first half other than we wanted to defend potential pick and pop - Nate Jones came WAY off his man and we got burnt for a 3 and JS did dame and we got lucky. Not sure I liked that scheme. Also, we started doubling Lamb by running Nana over down the stretch and it got them out of sorts on a couple possessions (thought that was overdue but better late than never). Probably a pick your poison decision (vis-a-vis giving up a 3) but type of tactical call I think you got to make. Nate Davis is a much better coach when we go 7-9 from 3 in the second half. Thought we got bad calls on offensive rebounds in the 2nd half in Bruce and Nate and on Nana’s drive where replay clearly showed defender left his feet. Sniffing .500 again - time to get road tough. Bruce with nice 3 in second half and I was happy to eat crow on that. Nate J has to stop fouling 3 point shooters but I was THRILLED to see him forego a pull up jumper and go aggressive to the hoop b4 dishing to Nana for a dunk. Well done Nate! Good win...congrats to the kids and staff.

I thought their energy was a lot better this game. Bruce Moore got things started by having the courage to take a three and he made it which set the tone for the game. Nana was a beast underneath and Zach Thomas played exactly like a smart biomedical engineer should-successfully. Sotos played well and was better than their preppy good looking guard. If the teams energy is good that day and the ball bounces their way, they are tough to beat. If not then they are vulnerable. If they are not on their game against Army at Kristl or away at Lehigh they will get beat. But last night they looked good.

"Nate Davis is a much better coach when we go 7-9 from 3 in the second half."
Funny how that works, isn't it?

Has anyone tried watching the replay on Stadium yet? I haven't been able to get the sound to work on it all morning.

Are you sure the “ mute†is off (lower left by the play button) For some reason Stadium is muted until you unmute it.

Kudos to the color man with Birdsong. He said he was the high bidder in an auction at the golf outing, and he is doing a great job
I thought so, too...for the first few minutes.
=============
Right! First few minutes until the contest winner faded badly.
The real problem is WHY Bucknell insists on Doug Birdsong doing games solo??? He badly needs someone to carry the load with any number of former BU players qualified to sit next to him? For some reason, (saving money $$ ?) they leave Doug to hang by himself.

Haha...my take is that they can’t find anybody willing to do it with him. Recently when Ed Sigl and Terry Conrad did color they hardly could get a word in edgewise, lol.

IMO Doug is in the perfect spot for him, and he is good for Bucknell too. Yes he will never be confused with Al Michaels, but “BIIINNNGGOO†after the Navy game was his “Do you believe in miracles?†moment. Nothing wrong with a homer in Lewisburg. A color guy just for perspective would be nice.

I'm certain it's a budgetary thing.

Well said. Birdsong is a homer, and he is our homer!
