Play anyone, beat everyone. Seeding talk isn’t worth our time since we are going to have to play someone who’s defeated us or is not or both.
Other than the education Bison137 provides on a daily basis, much of what is on this board isn't worth our time. That doesn't mean it isn't enjoyable and doesn't serve a purpose for those of us root for the Bison.

Right on Doc! It’s all just talk! Truthfully, I don’ t want to play anyone. We won the league, why do we have to win it again? Only games that count are the 3 in March!

Bucknell plays against Army, Navy, Holy Cross, Lehigh and Lafayette pretty regularly in the tournament so I wouldn't mind seeing some different teams.
They haven't played American since the 2006 tournament, Colgate since 2008 and have yet to play against Boston and Loyola.

Right! If we can avoid that 10th loss, we will be National Champions!

May as well dream big! But there are a few good teams out there we’d have to beat. Watched a familiar team, West Virginia, last nite and they looked pretty darn good at Baylor. But if Bucknell can’t win it all, I’ll root for Villanova.

Phillie, like you, I've been a Nova fan for a long time. I think that my first Nova game was around 1981 or 82. So, when the Bison aren't playing . . .

Seedings Predictions 02-21-18 10:10 PM - Post#248851
In response to HuskyColonial
Looking at the standings, I THINK Colgate just clinched the 2 seed, as they would win a potential tiebreaker over Navy. (See edit below)
I also THINK the 8/9 are locked in as Loyola and Army. While they could flip flop between 8 and 9, we will be playing one of them a week from tonight. This is based off my understanding that Lafayette would have the tiebreaker over Loyola, Army (or a 3 way tie) even if Lafayette loses Saturday. This is because Laf, Loyola, and Army all split against each other. It would thus go to performance against 1st place Bucknell. As all got swept by Bucknell, it goes to performance against 2nd place Colgate. Lafayette swept Colgate which would give them the nod if my understanding is correct.
The most intriguing development for Saturday will be how 3-5 shake out. Lehigh looks likely to be in the 4-5 but could go to 3 if Navy loses and Lehigh wins. BU will be in the 4-5 game, but I think they would host it if they win and Lehigh loses.l by virtue of a better record against 3rd place Navy as all prior tiebreakers would not resolve it.
Lastly, I think HC and Lafayette could still flip between 6 and 7.
EDIT - I think Colgate has not officially clinched the 2. Lehigh could actually get the 2 if Colgate loses, Lehigh wins, and Navy loses. Lehigh and Colgate split so Lehigh’s win over Bucknell would give them the edge. However, if Navy wins and it is a 3 way tie with Gate, Navy, and Lehigh, Gate would still get the 2, as they had the best record (3-1) against the tied teams. This is confusing

Speaking of Nova, as a couple of you did, it’s great to see Phil Booth back from his hand injury. They’ll need him next month. As a BU undergrad and Nova law school grad, I feel like a kid in a candy store during basketball season.

Don't we play the 7-10 winner?

The #2 seed plays the 7-10 winner. We play the 8-9. The women's tournament is reseeded after the 1st round - i.e. #1 plays #10 if they win.

Here are the full seeding scenarios. Looks like my earlier post was wrong and Lafayette does still have a small potential path to the 8-9 game if Colgate gets upset and a few other games bounce the right way.

Thus, regardless of tonight's Lafayette-Lehigh game, we'll play the winner of Army at Loyola.

The Patriot League regular season is in the books. Lehigh cruised past Lafayette, 79-64.
