Was about to post that there's nothing like a big 'Saturday night' game and this one deserves top billing - but indeed the game has been moved to 12 noon. As much as I pull for our 'saders, this one looks like a clear matchup with the best two teams in the league - imo, we're competing for the no.3 position this season.

Holy Cross-- Crusaders dominated the first game at Loyola, up 18 points with 700 to play, but did not close it out properly as the inevitable flurry of threes came. JF had a big game--don't think Loyola has anyone who can defend him effectively.
Boston U-- This is a tough one. BU is #341 in D-1 home court advantage but, on the other hand, Colgate has lost 5 road games in a row. Colgate does well when it protects the ball: 8-2 when TO% is below 19% and 2-6 when it is not and BU is just average at forcing turnovers. Still, I see Mahoney getting his way inside and fouling out Ivanauskas. For Colgate, Rayman has been a big disappointment--didn't some project him as POY?
American U- Lafayette has lost its last 5 road games and is a weak team in total. American is better.
Army--Here's another tough one. The visiting team has won the last 6 games in this series. Navy is a very poor shooting team. Navy's freshmen have not been impressive but have had to play about 25% of the team's minutes. I expect Army to protect the ball well and get an extra 5-8 FGA versus Navy. That should make the difference.
Bucknell-- One more very tough one. Bucknell is 9-1 when opponents shoot below 33% on threes while Lehigh is the best 3 point shooting team in the country. Lehigh is 3-5 when its eff fg pctg is below 59% and Bucknell has held opponents below that threshold in all but 2 games. Bucknell has the #88 defense re: opponents 3 point percentage and #61 defense in denying opponents 3 point attempts. So, while Lehigh has the home court advantage (and home team won both games in this series last season) I am going with the Bison. Bison can't get off to the slow start that has plagued them in too many games so far, though....
