Anxiously awaited last night's game at Army, hoping to see what new changes/wrinkles we would have to stop the slide we are on, but instead saw more of the same... we can't make shots, can't defend well and our opponent shoots lights out! ! Actually, my frustration started just before the game with "Watch Stadium"! First, I got the message that I was in the "blackout area" and to check other regional TV options! Second try resulted in "This is a PREMIUM game", $4.99/mo with a free 7 day trial! OK, credit card entered, game comes on, then the audio goes silent and the video is herky/jerky at times during the first half! Reception got better in the second half but not the game! ! Had one good laugh, though, when they put up the graphic about Holy Cross, Location: WORCHESTER; Mascot: IGGY, the Crusader! ! One good thing about BB as opposed to FB, you don't have to wait a week before saddling up again! Congratulations to Crosser, or rather Crosser's Grandson for going 5 for 5! ! Get him ready for Saturday, in fact bring him to the game, we need all the luck we can get! ! Rank / Poster / 23-Jan / Total

Well, I am fading fast on the leadership board in no small part because I keep thinking "Carmody's Catastrophe Club" will turn it around . . . . and they haven't. Maybe if they sew on an Iggy patch on their jerseys that would break the hex? Showing heart over head (again ), here are my picks: Colgate @ Loyola Boston University @ Lehigh Army @ Lafayette Navy @ Holy Cross (this is the one I have the most doubt about but shouldn't) Bucknell @ American

Though I plan to be at the game on Saturday, I see that it will be televised on NESN+ which I get. I went to make sure the game will be recorded and the logo for the game shows the Holy Cross Crusader! đ Guess NESN didn't get the word. đ

My grandson wonât be bringing the âSaders any luck Saturday as he lives outside Philly and wonât be in attendance. Neither will I, as Iâm ensconced in Florida for a few weeks. But, thanks to modern electronic communication, I was able to procure Luisâs picks for Saturday. Weâll see if he was a beneficiary of beginnerâs luck on Wednesday, or if he has a real chance as a future hoops prognosticator.

Where Luis has the advantage over the rest of us is that he is not wearing purple-shaded glasses and is picking Navy, not HC, and think he picked Army ove HC. Smart kid and has no reason for loyalty to our alma mater.

Smart kid and has no reason for loyalty to our alma mater. His other âadvantageâ is that even though heâs a big sports fan( his loyalties are Pittsburgh-centric), he knows virtually nothing about PL hoops. It took him literally 20 seconds to make his picks after I gave him the slate of Wednesdayâs games. My daughter told me it might have been 30 seconds for tomorrowâs picks. I know thereâs one game I hope he gets wrong! đ

Colgate-- Colgate has won the last 5 games in the series. Colgate is 9-2 when opponents shoot their threes at worse than a 1 in 3 percentage and Loyola is #10 in PL play in 3 point percentage. Loyola is going to Kostecka more and more (why not?) this year, e.g. last year he took 10 2 point attempts in only 1 game, while this year he's had 10+ 2 pt atts in 14 games. Colgate held him to 9 points and 11 points in the 2 games they played.
Lehigh-- Lehigh is winning the games it should win with a 12-0 record versus teams ranked 165 and worse. Boston U is ranked #244. This game features the PL's #1 offense against the #9 defense.
Army--This season has been the opposite of last year when Army started strong and then faded badly. Army has moved up from #276 to #226 in PL play so far and has defeated three higher ranked PL teams, including the recent pummeling of Holy Cross. Army is winning on the free throw line and Lafayette has been committing a lot of fouls. Laf takes the fewest free throws in the PL (e.g. 0-0 in first game loss to Army) and its opponents take the most. I see a motivated Army team winning this road game.
Holy Cross-- Forget the "it's all about three games in March" mantra, this is a "must win" game if Holy Cross wants to put together a decent season. With all the recent stumbling, mistakes, and misfortune, I still believe HC to be the better team and pick them today.
Bucknell-- Bucknell has had its way with American, winning by 9, 20, 29, and 19 points in the last four games the two past seasons in this series. As NJJ notes in a later post--Bucknell won by a single point earlier this year. American has not defeated a higher-ranked team since its opening game win over George Mason. Bucknell will likely be better prepared today
