Tough loss to Army. Had a chance right to the end... Also a tough night for our group as well  ! 4 went 1 for 5 14 went 2 for 5 6 went 3 for 5 (Congrats to hcnation, bigfan, ACTP, efg72, hc6774, and Crosser)
We have a new leader of the pack with hcnation picking the Lehigh upset over Boston Univ. and bigfan moving up a notch! (The standings have been updated based upon my error in calculating hcnation's and Crosser's picks.  My apologies... Any other miscalculations, please PM me)!On a night when most picked the "chalk", nobody looked for the upsets! One more round on Saturday, then the playoffs! 1...hcnation 60 - 25 2...rgs318 59 - 26 CHC8485 59 - 26 4…KY Crusader 56 - 29 5…alum 54 - 31 Crucis#1 54 - 31 bigfan 54 - 31 8…longsuffering 53 - 32 hc80 53 – 32 10…lou 50 – 35 ACTP 50 – 35 12…sader1970 46 – 39 efg72 46 – 39 14…classof83 44 – 41 15…Tom 42 – 43 16…WorcesterGray 59 - 21 17…hc6774 51 – 29 18…HCFC45 47 – 33 Crosser 47 – 33 20...hcpride 45 – 20 21…DiMarz 40 – 20 22…purplepig 34 – 26 23…thecrossisback 29 – 31 24…mm67 29 – 11 25…Jflare 18 – 17 26…thecrossisback2 13 – 12 27…SOV 14 – 6 28…hc811215 9 – 6 Saturday, February 29, 2020Army @ Colgate 12:00 noon

Colgate

Lafayette
American (Look for us to keep it close and then fade with our thin bench)
Loyola (Even if leading scorer Kostecka is out it looks like the three frosh are healthy and that should be enough v Lehigh)

Colgate-- Raiders are 7-1 in PL home games. Army beat Colgate by 5 in NY but I think Colgate is the better team by a dozen points on Saturday
Boston U- BU won by 20 points in the first game in PA. I watched the end of the improbable loss to Lehigh in latest game-very strange. BU had its worst shooting night (eff fg pctg) since 2014. BU has been underperforming of late and Bucknell has won 3 of its last 4 but 'm going with the Terriers
Lafayette-- Leopards are in a late season fade, going from #181 in KenPom to # 219 in last 7 games, and they miss Jaworski. Team depends on the three, as always, and made 1/3rd of its 3's only once in the last 6 games. On the other hand, Navy has not exceeded 45% eff fg pctg in any of its last 6 games and Laf is 12-3 when opponents shoot 48.3% or worse. Having changed my mind several times while typing this nonsense, I'm going to go with Lafayette
American U-- Holy Cross could get motivated to finish the home season with an upset and I'll be rooting for that. It's possible. HC is 3-1 when we shoot 58% or better (eff fg pctg) but American's defense yields only 49% in PL games. So we'll need to (A) get open shots and (B) have "shots fall" for us to win.
Loyola-- Lehigh lucked out in its latest, the win over BU, but Lehigh is 1-7 in PL road games so I'll go with Loyola even if Kostecka is out.

Will make my picks before leaving for the game... without looking at the PL standings, does anyone know if any team needs a win to change the standings going into the playoffs?

Lots of moving parts for seeding purposes. Bison137 gives a rundown of some on the Bucknell board (scroll down). Keep a dramamine handy. boards.basketball-u.com/showtopic.php?tid/23164/tp/11/Colgate has the top seed locked up, and Holy Cross has clinched 10th. American still in contention for the #2 seed, so they will be highly motivated this afternoon. |

According to the AU board, this game means a lot to the Eagles as a win guarantees a second place finish heading into the tournament. |

That does not sound good for us, on the other hand, could be a very motivating factor for our guys to get a W. |
