Believe it or not, Colgate cut down the nets today at Lafayette for achieving a regular season co-championship.

Standards just a wee bit different than those of Bucknell.

Agree 100%. The team did a fantastic job given the losses from last year. All the criticism and negativity gets old after awhile. No question, we may not be the most talented, best shooting, etc., team, but I like our chances. Remember, we’ve been here, done that in the tourney and are defending champions. The pressures on someone else to take it from us. Go Bison!

Not to mention, Lehigh was the preseason favorite (again) and fell short (again). As for Colgate, where would they be without Ivanauskas (transfer from Northwestern) and their other transfers over the past couple of years. Langel is content to import talent rather than develop it. I'll take the Bucknell model any day.

At first, I was surprised by this, but upon further thought, I decided, why not? Colgate hoops does not win championships all that often. So, go ahead and enjoy it. They should be proud of their accomplishment.

Personally I prefer the "act like you've been there before" humility. Also I think net cutting should be reserved for the actual last game to be played in an arena for the year. now lafayette has to replace the nets for HC. Of Course they might be anyway due to the tournament.

Maybe Lafayette will cut down the nets if they beat HC on Tuesday.

I hope Lafayette sent Colgate a bill for the nets.

I noticed in the LU - Loyola box score Andree did not play for Lehigh. Did I miss something? Injury?

An undisclosed injury, which many think is a concussion.

BRW, haha, very funny. No, you couldn't be more wrong. I am against the everybody gets a trophy approach to sports. In this case, Colgate won the regular season championship, and they are the #1 seed. As such, IMO, it is their prerogative to cut down the nets or not. Given Bucknell's success in the PL, we would not have been happy if the Bison had done so, but given Colgate's lack of success, I can understand why they chose to do so. Hopefully, that will be the last time that Colgate cuts any nets for a LONG time.
GO BISON!

They did not "win the regular season championship." They were co-champs along with Bucknell. Both get the same spot in the Record Book and share the #1 spot in the standings.

Exactly! They won and so did Bucknell. So, they have the right to celebrate as they see fit.

No I don't think they do, especially as visitors and not the final game of their entire season. Certainly appropriate as visitors in the Tourney final, or if you're on your home court and doing something for your home fans. But regular season SHARE of the title? C'mon Man!

OK, I can see that I am fighting a losing battle. Anyway, the good news is that we hope to all see the Bison cut down the nets in Hamilton on 03/13.

Holy Cross vs LC game is on now. Close game, although it is marred by the incompetence of the LC announcing duo. One factual error after another.

Lafayette’s use of a recorded “ de-fense†chant is super lame.
