We have completed 14 games, nearly half of the season’s schedule. If you were asked, “how many games of the 14 has Bucknell trailed at some point by double digits,†and you replied “11†you would be correct. Something needs to change! Hopefully it starts vs CU.

To your point, Pomeroy lists the score by "quarters" in his box scores. This is what the combined quarters look like for Bucknell and its opponents:
. . . . . . BU - Oppt
1st Qtr . 161 - 232
2nd Qtr . 251 - 266
3rd Qtr . 277 - 209
4th Qtr . 286 - 261
1st Quarter: -71
2nd Quarter; -15
3rd Quarter: +68
4th Quarter: +27
Note: Pomeroy didn't have quarter scores for TCU. If that were included, it would change the second half dominance a bit.

One more note: W-L record in games we never trailed by double digits is 3-0. In games where we got behind by double digits it is 4-7.

One good thing is that in the background you can see Bruce Moore apparently running normally. You'll recall he had to leave the game late at Boston as his leg/hip seemed to get progressively worse after the hard fall he took earlier in the half. He had just had the best few minutes offensively that I ever saw from him. In about 2:15, he had three baskets on nice interior moves, plus 4-4 on FT's, two rebounds, and a block. If he can do that on a more regular basis, it would make the Bison offense a lot tougher - as Sestina can play outside and give Moore room to attack the basket from the baseline.

If he could do that on a regular basis he could play in the NBA, there is a reason he is at Bucknell rather than Duke. That was five minutes of flat spectacular basketball.

One optimistic adjustment to your statement: Bruce matriculated at Bucknell rather than Duke because of his skills as a teenager. I don’t have to reach too far into the past to highlight a few PL players who developed into legit NBAers.
Which is all to say that I love Bruce’s game and hope he continues to bring his all to every game.
Go Bison!

a lead throughout the first half will go far in this game. Combine that with home court the outcome should be in our favor. The starters haven't even hit their stride and look out when they do. I'd like to see Meeks get minutes.

i.e. enrolled. Meant only to emphasize the gulf that separates a student's start and end of their college days. And in Bruce's case, though he may not have begun his Bucknell days as a quote/unquote Duke-caliber player, he's improved leaps and bounds since then. I greatly enjoy watching him play this year.
If there's even a whiff of negativity in what I wrote, 'tis not intended and apologies all 'round.
Go Bison!

Looks like this is a premium game on Stadium, so you need a $5/mo paid account. There seems to be a free 7-day trial, but you still need to sign up and enter payment info. I don't remember any premium games in the past, and I'm not signing up while the Bison are losing.

I pay the $5/month for Stadium and can't access this game. I even tried to enter a new credit card through the Stadium website,thinking maybe the card expired. I received error messages on the Stadium site. In my Roku account, it tells me I am already subscribed.

Well those of you who can’t watch, you’re not missing much. Down 6 with 11 left. Be outrebounded 32-14. Bad defense again. I really don’t know what to say about this team.

Played well defensively at the end and played pretty well offensively. This rebounding issue needs to get figured out. Outside of Nate no one is pulling down rebounds.

Roku issues maybe a problem on your cable provider? Here in Allentown on Service Electric, no problem with free game on Roku other than a short period of interruption in the first 5 minutes.
And congrats on stopping 'Gate. See ya'll in Bethlehem a week from this Saturday. Big house (by our standards) expected, believe it or not.

A good game overall. Colgate really played well. Rayman had only 2 points and they still almost won. It didn't help that Mackenzie and Sotos did not shoot well. Bison D got better in the 2nd half. Good thing we started making FTs and they started missing. Problem is the starters, except Moore, played the entire 2nd half. Can't do that every game.
How many layups did Sestina have blocked? I counted 4. Just DUNK the ball! And about those refs ...

Yes, Raymond, I was able to see the archive on my Roku as well. Apparently it is only the live airing that is involved, at least for now. As I understand you can still watch on a phone or a computer for free... go figure!

today was the Basketball luncheon at Matty's, great crowd, it was pointed out that the attendance last night at Sojka was only 300 less then the total for the rest of the league home games. Great for the Bison but sad for the Patriot League, lucky Colgate was away from Hamilton. Coach Davis, Coach Harrison and the three Freshman. It is refreshing to listen to the caliber of Bucknell basketball players as they answer questions.

I wonder why Ellis is not a consideration for playing time? He seemed to me to be fluid, relaxed, not intimidated by the competition...I know he wasn’t shooting well but neither was anybody else, really. I think he has a ton of upside. But doesn’t seem like Davis trusts many outside of the starting rotation at the moment.

Very good crowd. The lacrosse team was at the south end and track and swim teams at the north end. They were very vocal, especially in the 2nd half. I should have gone down with them instead of sitting with the church mice.
BTW the attendance for the women's game at West Point was listed at 522. Judging from the video it was actually less than half of that. By comparison we drew nearly 1500 for last Sunday's home game vs. Boston.

Yes! A nice stat until you throw in the fact that in 7 of our 7 losses we did not come all the way back from double digit deficits. The solution is NOT to go double digits behind.
