Outside of Colgate, the league appears to be wide open.

Once again, hoping I am wrong. But it is an away game. Close loss, but a loss. If Kyle plays and has a breakout game, could be a Crusader upset.

Colgate-- The only stumble has been an OT loss at Niagara when Colgate had way too many turnovers and a 14 point deficit on the free throw line. Colgate should coast in this one. Raiders are 11-0 when opponents shoot 53% or worse
Boston U- Mahoney had an off game in latest, fouling out in 19 minutes, after being the MVP in each of the 5 previous games. He's a tough competitor and I see him bouncing back big time in this game and BU prevailing
American U-- This one is a tossup on paper. Gasperini may be a key for AU as he played very poorly in his first 5 games this year (e.g. 11-33 on twos) but has come on strong of late (e.g. 34-56 on twos in last 8 games and all games with O-Rating>100). AU beat Army twice last year
Bucknell-- Bucknell fell from #143 in KenPom (opening estimate I guess) to #237 but then whipped Laf and moved up 21 places. Bison really miss Sestina and MacKenzie, and Moore's production is down (1-25 on threes to date:wow) but Bison defense has improved.
Lafayette- We were all delighted to see HC pull out a tight win over Navy. That was our 4th best offensive (KenPom efficiency) game of the year and 4th best defensive game as well. I do think we are improving as Coach Nelson gets a better read on what each player can do....and as we see more of Drew Lowder. Still, at this point I think Lafayette is the better team. The projection from KenPom is a 13 point Lafayette win. I think we'll do better than that but fall short.

Bucknell-- Bucknell fell from #143 in KenPom (opening estimate I guess) to #237 but then whipped Laf and moved up 21 places. Bison really miss Sestina and MacKenzie, and Moore's production is down (1-25 on threes to date:wow) but Bison defense has improved. Bruce Moore is out right now with a concussion, but prior to that his long-range shooting looks like a golfer with the yips. In previous seasons, he has been a decent 3-point shooter, and he shot them well in practices prior to the season. Of the seven players who have started three or more games for Bucknell this year, five have missed multiple games due to injury, which hasn't helped. Not sure about the defensive improvement; per Pomeroy, the defense is by far the worst it has been since 2014-15. Perhaps you are talking about the two league games, but a good portion of Bucknell's defensive success in those games is luck, i.e. opponents shooting their threes very badly. |
