Great quote from Bucknell announcer - "Every team Bucknell has played has nearly a winning record." What?! |

Williamson, Bijiek, and Forrest have started every game in the entire season. Bascoe has started the last nine games and played fairly well, so he will start. The only question mark is the fifth starter. Elvin Edmonds has started every game when healthy this year, but he missed time with a sprained MCL earlier in the year. And today he sprained his ankle, leaving his availability up in the air. If he doesn’t play, it could be Ian Motta if they go to a big lineup, or more likely freshman guard Brandon McCreesh, or possibly a placeholder in Brady Muller, who only play a couple of minutes if he starts. Bucknell only has two freshmen, and one of them is not a D1 player. Nathan Davis lost interest in recruiting last year and pretty much did nothing in that category. |

We will see soon if Bucknell’s #78 SOS is the main reason for their 3-10 record.

Williamson, at 7 feet, could be a BIG problem...

Williamson, at 7 feet, could be a BIG problem... he is 7–0, but he has poor hands and is not at all strong. At best he is a project. Nathan Davis left Griffin only one real player, I.e. Jack Forrest. |

Williamson, at 7 feet, could be a BIG problem... I saw him in his last game and I agree about Williamson being a project - however, he is a large presence and will be a challenge for our bigs. Just one that can be overcome. This could be interesting. |

The key to tonite’s game is to not let #24 Jack Forest get many open looks. He is a pure shooter and has range. He shoots close to 40% from three and 90% from the line.
If Montgomery is back (doubtful), he would be a good choice to guard him. But regardless of who is assigned to him, he better stick to him like glue or he will kill us.

Hold them to their average of 62 ppg and I think HC can top that.
They're shooting 74.7% from the line; that's not something we seem capable of matching.

That depends on who is shooting them
