On Twitter, I am seeing rumors of Sestina playing a post grad year at St. Bonaventure. Random question. Is there a reason he couldn’t do another year at Bucknell?
If he wants his family to be able to see his home games, that would probably make sense.
Personally, if I was in his position, I would shoot for the best academic school that also plays a competitive schedule.

That is exactly what it is, a rumor, & a bad one at that... there is no chance of Nate playing his 5th yr at St Bonaventure. If he were to use his last yr of eligibility, it will be at a power 5 school not an A10 school. I assure you that was never even a thought

George Mason got absolutely shalacked on Senior Night by VCU. There are a lot of unhappy people on the George Mason blog, many of which are calling for the firing of Paulsen.

I watched some of that game. With only 6:30 left to go in the first half, Mason led 12-8. There was plenty of defense, but it was still the most inept offensive showing I can remember in a long, long time. Unforced turnovers (plenty of forced ones, too) and open look jumpers from near and far clanging off rims not including the ones that missed rims altogether. Mason still led with a couple of minutes to go, and then the bottom completely fell out. VCU has really ramped it up in the last month and a half. Now up to 32 in kempom. VCU can be absolutely stifling.
From the quotes I saw, Paulsen laid it in the players' laps.

Danny Sotos, Jimmy's brother, just ended his career at Lake Forest College as their #7 all-time scorer. He is a 6-5 forward.

It would help if I actually read articles!

The first conference tournament one seed lost last night when Gardner-Webb beat Campbell in the Big South. That means Radford gets to host the title game against 4 seed Gardner-Webb Sunday at 1:00.

One seed South Dakota State lost to the eight seed in their conference quarterfinal. Could be that kind of year.

Vermont led Binghamton 52-22 at halftime and opened the 2nd half on a 10-0 run. No cinderella story for Binghamton. Steph Smith has 28 points on 10-11 and 8-9 3FG. It's bad when your team is outscored by a single player.

1 seeds getting absolutely toppled so far this year. Hofstra, wright state, and gonzaga lost today. I believe like 8 1 seeds have lost so far in conference tourneys.

A couple of the above lost to Bison OOC opponents. St. Mary's took down Gonzaga by 13 points, and Northeastern beat Hofstra by 8 points after leading by 16 at the half.
Unfortunately Radford, coached by Nate Jones' Dad Mike, lost in the Big South finals to Gardner-Webb. Radford tied for the regular season title with Campbell but ended up with the 2nd seed on the tiebreaker.

I thought Northeastern was a very solid team, not surprised by their win. I am, however, shocked by St. Mary’s win over Gonzaga.

One seeds are now 2 for 11 in their conference tourney so far. Let’s hope that trend continues tonight.
A lot of bid stealers in both the NCAA and NIT!

It's fairly easy this year to prove the Bison are better than the top teams in the nation. For example, against hated Duke:
- Bucknell beat St Bonaventure 88-85
- St Bonaventure beat St Joseph's PA 73-47
- St Joseph's PA beat Old Dominion 79-64
- Old Dominion beat Syracuse 68 -62
- Syracuse beat Duke 95-9 1
By my count, that makes BU 54 points better than Duke - although the Bison might not beat them by quite so much on the court.
