Yes. It’s clear they are.

Naked cheerleading for Lehigh by the broadcast crew is really annoying.

Guys looked gased towards the end. Did Sestina get hurt at some point in the game? He sat for a long time and never got in for awhile in the second half.

Announcers were clearly in the tank for Lehigh but I guess with an underdog it’s expected.
Team looked gassed late but executed very well in the final 30 seconds. I think the week off will do them well.
Lehigh always scares me so in a sense I’m glad for this result as there is no chance Bucknell will take them lightly if they play in March.

Wonder why davis did not put sestina in and give nana a break? Any ideas why nate played so little?

I don’t know about the favoritism by the announcers, but I know we didn’t shoot the ball well. Even with the flurry of makes at the end, still shot 27% from 3. And too many 3-pt attempts for my taste but I’m not the coach. Sometimes you have it sometimes you don’t, I guess.

Few misc thoughts:
1. Better team won tonight. Bison sloppy early and late in game.
2. Is Thomas's ankle still bothering him. Great player and good game but seems to want to finesse everything. Works in Patriot League but unlikely to do if we go further.
3. Who is the Big Man coach? Moore and Sesena don't move well and tend to bog offense down.
4. Through the years, the teams with strong big men typically lead league. If this hold true in future, Leigh to be strong for several years.

Lehigh Game

To echo BUFan's point its better to lose now than later so this loss may help them in the long run.
To many turnovers and at the wrong time. They need to take care of the ball. Go study a film of the 2006-07 team to see how a basketball is passed around the perimeter.
It turned into a three point shooting contest and we lost. If you're going to have these high intensity games, be successful inside also.
Teams are slowly unlocking how to beat the Bison. We can get beat on any given day by about half the teams in the league including Lafayette and Army. Patriot league tournament is going to be a coin flip now when is doesn't have to be.

He was quite slow getting up after a collision, so my best guess is that he tweaked his hip or something else.

It's a bad loss for sure. 15 seeds are at an enormous disadvantage.

Eight more wins would go a long way to getting us back to where were. Definitely a disappointing setback, especially for a game we had within our grasp.
I'm not fond of the eight man rotation. Last night showed what a bind that can put the team in. I don't understand why Robertson, at least, isn't getting a few minutes to spell some of the other guys. Nana, Zach, Stephen, and Kimbal all played more than 35 minutes.

Highlights of Zach Thomas' game. It was a disappointing loss, but Zach had an incredible game. Over the last 23 years, only two players have had more than his 36 points.
