According to the yahoo sports app, today's game is in the Stadium TV channel in addition to streaming. For anyone with FIOS, that channel is somewhere in the low 800s. I forget the exact number. That channel aired the BU - Lehigh game on Monday.

It is 820 on my Fios, but the guide says college football at 7:30 (obviously a replay). Hopefully that changes. The game is on the Stadium Channel on the Pluto app available on Roku, and I guess Apple TV.

The game is on the Stadium Channel on the Pluto app available on Roku...
And also directly on the new Stadium channel on Roku, without going through Pluto.

I’m a believer again. I’m not sure what happened but this team looks hungry, talented and in sync.

It looks like a different team with Mackenzie on the floor; improved ball movement and a touch of swagger. I really think they missed Kimbal's leadership.

Stephen really stepped up in the 2nd half and took charge of the game. It was great to have Kimbal back.
Sotos played a great game too. I know he's going to get less minutes as Kimbal comes back, but hope he continues to play well.

Kahron Ross, the league’s all-time career leader in assists, had ZERO tonight.

I was not able to attend tonite’s game due to a health situation with my mother-in-law. Things are stable there and I was happy to see th me Bison won...even better to read that th Bison played well and that Kimbal looked good.

Kimbal is clearly the glue that holds this team together. When he was in there was better spacing, better pace, and he had a few nice defensive stands.
There were times today where we were sluggish and sloppy...especially the first 10 mins. Brown was awesome tonight with Nana and Thomas being kind of quiet. Time for this team to figure it out and go on a run. The OOC games didn’t end up what we hoped...but now that we’re getting healthy except O’Reilly (really addition by subtraction) it’s time for this team to be what we expected.

I don’t like to speak poorly about amateur athletes especially ours but O’Reilly was a liability. Agreed his injury sucks for him yet improves our rotation.

O’Reilly has been playing hurt for a good part of the season. When Kimbal played hurt he was applauded even though he clearly was not himself. Maybe the foot problem had an effect on his shooting ability. We need to remember that in our passion for this team, none of these kids deserves to be villified. The “addition by subtraction†comment sparked this, but I myself am not innocent. I just think we would all do better to stay away from negative personal comments about specific kids. This is not aimed at you personally crd012, like I said I am guilty of far worse. I’ll get off my high horse now. Wishing Matt a speedy recovery, but it appears to be season ending.
Btw, is it fair to ask if both these kids might have made their injuries worse by trying to play through them? Bucknell is so mum about saying anything about injuries.

Very well said bison63! I couldn't agree more about the negative comments. O'Reilly's injury has definitely affected his shooting & all around play this year. Hopefully when he returns he will put the doubters minds at ease, the kid can play. He's down for 6-8 weeks. It was great to see Kimbal back on the court looking good. The team definitely missed having his leadership on the court. Agree with others that you could really see a difference both defensively & offensively with the spacing while he was in the game last night.

Bison 63 - you’re not on a high horse and I for one appreciate and support your sentiments. I have read this board for over a decade and never posted and have been contemplating recently about reverting to my prior MO (cheers from the gallery). I have posted such sentiments as well and have, in my mind, done a pretty good job of keeping negative commentary on both personnel and strategy as holistic as possible. Additionally, in cases where I have questioned performance, strategy or thought process I have limited it to addressing specific instances and to include supporting viewpoints to try to offer perspective and/or context. Hell, I have trouble even writing the kids names (as I have previously explained) and people are bitching even though it’s clear who We are talking about. Should we post a jpeg with their pictures? Secondly, you’re either a fan and you support the program or your not and you don’t. This issue of the team sucks when they lose and are great when they wil is laughable. The season is 30+ games and it wasn’t won or lost against BU in game 2. We’ve been on a long run of 20+ winning seasons and have been blessed with the coaching leadership and the stability we’ve enjoyed. You can’t like the coaching staff one game and then not 2 games later. It defies logic/reality. If we shoot 30% and lose you can’t come out and say I’m off the bandwagon. If we face a 1-3-1 zone and it’s apparent we don’t know how to attack it then it’s valid to raise the issue of preparedness. I originally followed this Board almost strictly for the recruiting info and lists people took the time and interest to research and post and I would like to thank them as it gave me information and insight I didn’t have the time to generate myself. I do think there is a difference between saying someone had a bad shooting night or isn’t quick/strong enough to cover someone as opposed to something more direct or personal. It’s a really good board and I would ask everyone to not get defensive and attack me...I am not singling anyone out but rather supporting your sentiments and agreeing the same mea culpa you did. Let’s try to keep it at the team level. All of that said I had so many observations and concerns after Lafayette I didn’t even post for the very issue you’ve raised. For instance, there’s a real versatility issue with some of our guys. Has anybody looked at the ratio of some of our guys 3 pt FGA vs total FGA attempts (and not just MO)? We’ve got guys who just preponderantly shoot threes, we got guys who preponderantly shoot threes from only one specific area of the court. We got guys who don’t/can’t penetrate and can’t get to the rim. The difference btw KM and others is VAST. The difference btw AVI covering 2’s and wings is VAST. The game has changed so much since I played and even in how it is taught. Remember “never throw a cross court pass†and “don’t let anybody go baselineâ€. How about “basketball is a team gameâ€. It’s still a team game but if your philosophy is 40 minutes of MTM it morphs...it’s now 5 guys in 5 individual wrestling matches and you have to win each individual wrestling match if you want to advance to the NCAA tournament and then advance within it. We need to get kids every year that fit that mold. It’s 5 guys in hand to hand combat. That’s the way the game is played today and you need versatility and you need to be able to defend against the dribble drive. If you can’t defend the dd and you can’t dd yourself you’re in trouble.
