This is by no means a game we are favored in, but it is definitely winnable, and I for one will be disappointed if we do not win. Kenpom gives us a 38% chance. We are 3 point underdogs. Of course if the shots are not falling we can lose to anybody, as we have already proven this year.

Has nothing to do with Bucknell, but as an aside about this tourney and specifically the state of the PAC 12, Colorado, 8-1 and ranked 60 ish coming in is playing in the 7th place game tomorrow against clearly the tournaments weakest team, Charlotte. They were beaten by Indiana State in the opener and then fell to Hawaii. Obviously, the Rainbows had home advantage, but I think Colorado’s performance here is symptomatic of how weak the PAC 12 has become.

ASU looked pretty strong against Kansas. But beyond them, Arizona and Washington the rest of the conference is mediocre.

What a GREAT Christmas Day. Family, presents, food, drinks, maybe a nap, and as a bonus, Bucknell basketball! Does it get any better?
BTW, I think that this is a very winnable game. I am expecting a Rhode Island-like game with athletic players who can get up and down the court and make plays. If the Bison move the ball, make open shots, and do a better job of controlling the defensive boards, we might end up with a Very Merry Orange & Blue Christmas.
GO BISON!

Impressive effort. When shots fall it makes everything easier.

Not sure why they are letting Meeks play when this game is out of hand, he is clearly limping.

Husky, I was thinking the same thing.
I want 100 points. Yes, I'm being greedy.

Wow! Seemed like both teams were playing at different speeds. Bucknell was running every play and not sure what UNLV was thinking about. Bison hurt on the boards but seemed many UNLV shots missed and had big bounce out to Bucknell guards. Never seen a Bison team playing so relaxed.

This reminded me of the northeastern game but positive for us. We came out and didn’t miss and clearly cared. You could tell by the energy on the bench and even the people in the crowd we game to get a second win. We knocked unlv down with massive uppercuts and they didn’t seem too keen on fighting back.
I’m not complaining about a 6-6 OOC record...but man if we could have beaten fairfield and canisius I’d feel really pumped going into the PL schedule. Good win...good tourney. Now time to buckle down and take care of the PL.

I know this isn't a great UNLV team but it's still special beating them! A great game by the Bison!

Kenpom.com had UNLV at around #135 and Bucknell at around #175. So, I think that it was a very good win.
BTW, UNLV fell to #146 and Bucknell up to #152.
