Blew a big 14 point lead, went down by 3, but found enough reserve in the tank to pull out a 1 point victory  !
14 posters picked BU while 7 picked Army and found the UPSET  !
Welcome back Sarasota!
Final regular season games on Saturday. Still a close race!
As in previous years, this contest will continue through the completion of the PL tournament!

Often wrong, never in doubt. While I would like to think that the Crusaders are putting it together, they just haven't been able to put it together consistently all year long. They could well beat BU but I just think there will be another downturn before the tournament. Hope I am wrong because I have long been mathematically eliminated from winning this thing.

Well Well, if they are going to have a letdown, better it be this Saturday than in the tournament. How's that for positive spin? |

Time for home cooking
Bucknell-- Bison beat Navy by 4 in MD and Bucknell is much higher ranked now. Navy has lost 3 in a row with horrendous shooting and abysmal shooting defense. I expect Bucknell to get the job done here. One of our posters pointed out that despite having wrapped up the PL regular season title, Bucknell is motivated to win this game in order to get a better NCAA seed should it win the PL tournament.
Loyola-- Greyhounds seem more volatile than some other teams. They did beat AU by 2 in DC in first game. Loyola is 5-3 at home and 3-6 on the road so I like the home court advantage here. Loyola is not a good shooting team, ranked 9th in PL play for effective FG percentage. When Loyola shoots decently it wins as team is 11-1 when its effective FG % is 50% or better and 3-13 when it isn't. AU's defense has yielded 53.8% eff FG pctg in PL play. AU has had a tough year and is ranked #9 on both offense and defense in PL play. Loyola should take this.
Colgate-- Lafayette is 0-17 when its opponents shoot 52.8% or better and Colgate is 53.2% in PL play. Colgate beat Lafayette 85-75 in the first game in PA. Leopards have #10 offense and #10 defense. It's so hard to process that we lost to Lafayette in our last game. I think it takes outlier "shots falling" phenomena on both offense and defense for Lafayette to win and that does not often happen. I'm betting it will not happen tomorrow
Holy Cross-- Crusaders took only 13 three point shots in each of last two games in toying with American and holding off Loyola. HC lost by 6 at BU in first game as Crusaders were 7/24 on twos and were outrebounded 27-47, more than compensating for our 17-7 advantage on turnovers. Let's see if HC can get the job done. If MH can play like he did in last two games we'll be in great shape; so we'll find out if those games were anomalies or if he has moved forward. I'm certainly not expecting him to make every 2 point attempt as he did last two games but another solid game would be welcome. RC did not have a stellar game in our first meeting with BU but he's been playing solidly of late. I've ordered a continuation of that strong play is. HV is 6-2 in home PL games. I like our chances.
Lehigh-- Army won its last three games by 5, 3, and 9 while Lehigh won its last 3 by 19, 26, 18--pretty impressive. Lehigh beat Army by 7 in NY in the first game and I project another victory for Lehigh. Army is 1-12 when opponents shoot 51% or better and Lehigh is averaging 54.6 % in PL play. Lehigh is 6-2 at home in PL play.
