Bison women play at Iowa State tomorrow at 2 PM EST. ISU is currently ranked #25 by Massey and #26 in the AP poll. Their only two losses this year were road games to ranked teams. Bison are 14-point underdogs per Massey.
ISU has one of the top few fan bases in the nation. Last year they finished 3rd in the nation in attendance, close to 10,000 per game. They outdrew Tennessee and Notre Dame, to name a couple. They have averaged over 9000 per game each year for more than a decade - likely #3 in total attendance for those years, behind only UConn and Tennessee. I'm not going to do any research, but I wouldn't be surprised if this game will set a record for the Bison for most spectators at a game.

Bucknell game article: https://bucknellbison.com/news/2018/12/27/women s-b...
Oddly, the ISU preview article provides zero information about Bucknell. Taking this game lightly? Both teams are coming off long layoffs since their last game. Hopefully, that affects Bucknell less than ISU.

Wait until tomorrow (not to be a wise-butt).

Attendance may be a bit lower tomorrow, as Iowa State football is playing in the Alamo Bowl tonight vs Washington State. So some of their fans likely will be in San Antonio.

Played Iowa St fairly even for 3 quarters. Unfortunately it was the 1st, 3rd, & 4th. Got outscored 28-6 in the 2nd and never recovered. Shot poorly, under 30% and 17% from 3. Kapp and Slagus played limited minutes due to foul trouble.

Since beating the Bison, Iowa State has been on fire. First they beat a 9-3 Kansas State team 96-58. Then went on the road and beat 10-1 Kansas 82-73. Both of those teams are well within Massey's top 50 - even after the losses. As a result, Iowa State has moved up to #20 in the AP poll. Previous Bison opponent Syracuse, who the Bison played close for most of the game, is now #12.

Women also played an ugly game at Lafayette - 6 pts in the 1st quarter. Turned things around in the 2nd half to win 56-47. Slagus ends up with 20 points after scoring 2 in the 1st half. The other starters were MIA. Taylor O'Brien had a breakout game with 13. Ellie Mack did not play. Hope it is not serious. She has arguably been our best player over the last several games.

Boston is up 27-10 on Lehigh at halftime at home. Lehigh scored 2 points in the 1st quarter. And I thought we had a bad 1st quarter. Winner goes to 4-0. We play Lehigh on Wednesday. Would rather get them coming off a loss.

Solid win over Lehigh tonight 71-53. Colgate takes down Boston on the road. Bison are back on top (OK, tied). We head to Hamilton on Saturday. Colgate is much improved. Won't be an easy game.

Boston led CU by 13 @ the half. I figured it was over.

Six players in double figures, and Kate Walker wasn't even one of them. We are really deep.

There will likely be more losses for the top teams as the season goes on. But it is possible that the Bison game at American on Saturday March 2nd could be a huge one. Current PL standings:
Bucknell 5-1
American 5-1
Boston U 4-2
Army WP 3-3
Lehigh 3-3
Navy . 3-3
Colgate 3-3
Holy Cross 2-4
Lafayette 1-4
Loyola MD 0-5
Loyola continues to be perhaps the biggest enigma ever in PL basketball. They have two players who have been 1st team All-PL, with one having been the league's best player statistically last year. Plus they have last year's ROY and another good player. Yet they not only are winless in the PL but are 1-15 overall. And this is a team that was a solid pick for 3rd, with more 1st place votes than American.

That has me baffled too. I thought maybe they had injury issues, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Except for an OT game at Boston, none of their PL losses have been close. That includes a 44(!) point loss at American last Wednesday. That's a larger margin than their loss to Maryland. Bad team chemistry?

Loyola may have just broken out of their funk. Had a 21-20 lead on Lafayette at the half then scored 31 in the 3rd quarter to take a 21 pt lead into the 4th. Karcz, who is arguably their best player, is not playing.

That was a very tough game we won today. We didn’t shoot well, but HC is very good at getting to the hoop and drawing fouls, and their free throw shooting is excellent. I feel sorry for all the students who were partying behind the houses on St. Catherine Street. They missed a good game.
