Kudos to bigfan, hc811215, Tom and KY Crusader 75 for going 4 for 5 and they all picked Navy  !
Warning, Warning: Watch out for "Silky Sullivan" (aka KY Crusader 75 - handicapper that he is...)! He's gone 4/5 the 2 times out and is now tied for the lead as we are approaching the halfway mark !

Army - a typical "throw out the records" game, going with the home team
Bucknell - the Bison are playing well and Terriers seem to have fallen out of sync right now
Loyola - on a roll and playing good team ball
Lehigh - not close in this year's rivalry game
HOLY CROSS - got to keep the HC bandwagon rolling on Monday with a strong game

I should take a page out of 45's book and place my bet just before the horses leave the gate as I seem to be fading fast. I steadfastly don't look at others' picks, probably another reason why I seem to have lost my mojo.
That said, stubborn as I am, here are my early picks, though I see I am not first:
Navy @ Army (the cadet may want to prove their loss to us was a fluke but Navy the better team)
BU @ Buck (BU runs hot and cold and the Bison are at home)
Loy @ CU (The Greyhounds have beaten Lehigh and assuming they can endure the trip to frozen hell, should prevail)
Laf @ LU (An upset for this rivalry game is always a possibility but Lehigh definitely the better team at home)
AU @ HC (Time to end our drought and Carmody to show the teacher is better than the student. Hopefully we got a little momentum from the Army game; and RC is back to form)

I'll go with the following:
Navy- Navy has won four in a row, helped by some changes in rotations, and has moved up from #280 to #220 on KenPom. Perhaps as important, Navy has won the last four games at Christl Arena, beating Army on the road even when Army was much higher ranked. Navy is on an upswing for sure.
Bucknell- Bucknell beat BU twice last season. Bison are 10-0 when they hold opponents under 49% effective FG pctg and BU's shooting of late has been abysmal: 6-38 on threes in last two games but a decent 39-82 on twos. Eric Fanning is 4-8 on threes in those games while his teammates are 2-30. In those two games BU's opponents are 20-45 on threes but only 21-50 [Edited: thanks, hcfc, for catching the typo] on twos. BU has had the #1 defense in PL games but Bucknell has the #1 offense and is a very good team.
Loyola-This is a tough one to pick. Colgate fouls a lot and Loyola draws fouls well and converts at the line so that could be a real factor in this game. Both teams are 3-4 in PL play but Loyola, though, spotty in its play is the better team.
Lehigh- Lehigh beat Lafayette by 15 & 12 last season. Since then Lehigh has improved while Lafayette has regressed.
Holy Cross- American lost to Loyola and Army at home and I think Crusaders are tougher than those two. It will be very interesting to see if CLS gets another good run on the court in this game. HC definitely must win this one to build momentum.
