PROBABLE STARTERS: 23 Thomas, Zach..........F (Jr 6'7" 228) 15 ppg / 7 rpg / 29 mpg 20 Foulland, Nana........C (Jr 6'9" 230) 15 ppg / 8 rpg / 28 mpg 01 Mackenzie, Kimbal..G (So 6'1" 190) 11 ppg / 2 rpg / 29 mpg 02 Brown, Stephen.......G (Jr 5'11" 165) 11 ppg / 4 rpg / 31 mpg 11 Toomer, Avi..............G (Fr 6'3" 187) 3 ppg / 2 rpg / 18 mpg
TOP SUBS: 22 O'Reilly, Matt...........G (So 6'3" 200) 4 ppg / 1 rpg / 14 mpg 04 Sestina, Nate..........F/C (So 6'8" 234) 5 ppg / 4 rpg / 13 mpg 13 Moore, Bruce...........F (Fr 6'8" 210) 3 ppg / 1 rpg / 11 mpg 00 MacLeay, D.J...........F (Sr 6'7" 235) 3 ppg / 3 rpg / 8 mpg
This is a young, talented Bucknell team, now on an 8 game winning streak (after their upset by Lehigh). They have only one senior in their top 9 players (and he still gets only about 8 minutes a game). Foulland, a junior, appears to be a legitimate candidate for POY.

Massey makes Bucknell an 11 point favorite (68-57) with an 84% chance for the win.

Two notes on the Bucknell personnel:
1. Nate Jones started the first 13 games at SF, averaging 25 mpg, before going down with a stress fracture in his foot. He returned this week, albeit for limited minutes, but at some point his minutes will go up.
2. Matt O'Reiily has seen a fair amount of time as a 3-point specialist, but he has been in a horrible shooting slump and his minutes have dropped somewhat. Last night, Azzinaro hit 4-4 on threes and took some of O'Reilly's minutes. It is possible that Azzinaro may play more in O'Reilly's place on Monday.

It is interesting that less than four hours before tipoff there have only been 4 replies to this thread, on of which is by a Bucknell grad. Doesn't seem to be commensurate with the "arch-rival" status alleged.
I note that the jump link indicates that ticket prices over the internet are only $8 which is a pretty good deal. I wonder if the TV will be blocked out in the Lewisburg area.

showing your age '71' - with rare exceptions when you pay x$ per month for your cable and it includes cbs sport net or whatever, you get the game regardless of where you are. bucknell could never request a local blackout to boost attendance. I think the bison probably lead the league in (legit) attendance by a wide margin.

Can KC and MH stay out of foul trouble tonight? We have to shoot it well to win tonight....and we can't have any stretches where we don't score!

Le Sann comes in, makes a bad pass, and immediately gets yanked.

A little immaturity from Pat, deservedly gets teed up. Nice sneaky layup, though.

Technical on PB. Real late call. That was an awful T call. He said "and 1" after getting the lay in. Lame.

Never heard of getting a technical for yelling "and one !" after making a basket . I guess a quiet crowd helped.

Replay showed that Benzan was fouled when making the basket. Refs compound missing the foul by calling a "T" for yelling "and one" to no one in particular.

Bucknell EFG at the half, 81%. They have hot hands but also consistently beating us down the court and to spots on the arc.

Bucknell is so superior to us that it is hard to believe we beat them in the Playoffs last season.
I think if we played them 10 times this year, IMO we would lose by a wide margin all ten.
