It’s our guard size that pops out to me. Jimmy has a good handle and is quick at 6’ 3â€. Eyeball test but I think he is a shortest of the “6’3†guys.
Funk is going to give the PL nightmares.

Yesterday, Funk's brother Tommy became Army's career assist record holder...and he's still a junior.

Hopefully, our Funk will become Bucknell's career 3-point leader.

I watched the Colgate-Holy Cross game (I bet Colgate don’t judge me)
You don't have to justify watching and enjoying Patriot League basketball here---this isn't Crossports!

Boston U defeated HC 70-60. After HC's win over Bucknell, the HC faithful must be upset about this loss. Also, losing to a team located in MA effectively eliminates their regular "we had to travel too far by bus" complaint.

Nightmare scenario for Navy and Loyola. Game ppd til 2pm Thursday. Navy, now 6th, could be fourth by end of weekend, or 10th... Mids are at Colgate at 2pm Saturday, Loyola at BU Maybe we could just move the games to Sunday... schedule doesnt seem to matter..

Sounds like a screw-up somewhere. PL games have been played in worse weather than Baltimore is having, and with much further distances for the visitor to travel. I remember when Bucknell played at Navy, as scheduled, despite three feet of snow in Annapolis in February 2010.

Don't look now, Lafayette just won their 5th in a row. Came back from 5 down in the last minute. Alex Petrie with an and-1 to tie, then a circus layup to win after Nelson missed a front end.
Sunday's game will not be the cake walk the first game was.

Lafayette is now tied for 4th in the league. The American loss, btw, could help the Bison if they end up tied with Colgate at the end.

A win by Navy today makes it a 4-way tie and Ryan Sakamoto's head will explode figuring out tie breaking scenarios

So now it is relatively simple! We win our last two and we win the league no matter what anybody else does. If we split and LU wins out we have the tie breaker against them. However, if we split and CU wins out, I believe they have the tie breaker against us. We control our own fate. LU needs to win out and us to lose two and CU to lose one. If we lose two, LU can beat us, but they lose first place to CU unless CU drops one of its last two. This is because LU dropped both games to CU. See, simple!

CU has the tiebreaker if American finishes 4th. If it's Army or Lafayette, especially if we lose to Army, it gets more complicated.
CU plays HC at home and @Lafayette. Lehigh play at American and Loyola. Ours is the easiest schedule of the three on paper.
Just win baby!

With 5 teams above 0.500 this late in the season, I think that this might be the most competitive PL in a long, long time. I cannot remember having 5 teams above 0.500 going into the last week of regular season play. Any idea if there have ever been 3 or 4?

Yes, in 2008 Holy Cross was 15-14 overall, but a last place 5-9 in PL play. The league that year was very competitive, with the outright champion being 10-4 and the outright last place team going 5-9.
One note of interest about that season is that the bottom two seeds were HC and the Bison. In the previous year, i.e. 2007, those two teams both went 13-1 to share first place. I doubt any league has ever had two one-loss teams drop to the bottom two spots the next season.

And the first place team has lost to two of the last place teams. Truly, I’m not comfortable with any game.

Nor am I. Holy Cross and Boston U, who are two of the teams tied for last, both have two wins over the top three teams. And two of their four wins were on the road.
