Very frustrating night for our TEAM and POSTERS !
We picked only slightly better than our team shot: 37% to 33%!
However, Kudos to CHC8485 for going 4 for 5 !
In making his picks, CHC8485 said: "you gotta take some semi-educated, semi-hunch related chances in your picks if you hope to win ..." !
KY Crusader 75 bounced back nicely to tie WorcesterGray!
As I have said before, it will come down to who can go against the grain and pick the upsets! This is after all the PL where on any given night anybody can beat anybody!

Navy - Army will be still celebrating after last night's win Bucknell - but a close game Holy Cross - trying to salvage something on offense after yesterday's total flop Lehigh - but I am hoping for an upset by the Leopards Loyola - wins at home

Navy-- Navy won the first game, at Christl, in bizarre fashion, blowing a 10 point lead in the last 42 seconds to send the game into OT. Navy outscored Army 21-5 in the 5 minute OT to win by 16. Navy is the much better team and should be highly motivated today. Of course, Army wants to play the spoiler but I'll go with Navy.
Bucknell-- Bison beat BU by 11 in first game in PA. This won't be easy, but I see Bucknell bouncing back from the surprise loss at Loyola where Bucknell was outrebounded 36-25 and committed a ton of fouls.
Holy Cross- HC won by 8 in the first game in Worcester. HC had 16 steals and led rebounding 29-25. HC won the game on the free throw line sinking 24 free throws to just 5 for AU. We cannot expect such advantages again. With HC it almost always comes down to our shooting as we are 2-12 when we have effective FG % below 47% and 11-3 when we exceed that benchmark. American U has the worst defense against FG shooting in PL play, allowing opponents to hit at 55.1%.
Lehigh- Lehigh may be back in form--after getting crushed by HC Lehigh pummeled Navy. Lehigh only beat Lafayette by 7 in the first game as Nick Lindner went 7-11 on threes. . Lafayette is 0-15 when opponents shoot 52.8% or better and 0-11 when its offense shoots 49.1% or worse. Opponents are shooting 53.9% against Laf in PL games and Lehigh is #2 in PL play with effective FG pctg of 54.0%. So I expect Lehigh to score a lot of points
Loyola-- Colgate won the first game by 3 overcoming a weak shooting night. Loyola is fully capable of another weak shooting night but I'll go with the home team in this one

SOV plotting his next move??? Interesting. I make it a point to not look at other posters' predictions until after I have submitted mine. I see now that Mr. Gray and I will be tied again (in 1st, in 2nd, in 3rd???) when these games are booked.

I have the same picks as WG and KY. That may not be a good thing...I was 1 for 5 last week.

I make it a point to not look at other posters' predictions until after I have submitted mine. Ditto, though I wanted to get out of the gate early this time and not ponder too much - if you don't think too good, don't think too much. In my case, gravity will eventually win out .
