Saturday's game with Bucknell was the only PL game that we have been beaten badly. We really need to step it up tonight and bring home a "W" over American!
We are nearing the half way mark of the league games and the schedule travel wise is in our favor! We have been to Bucknell, Lehigh, Lafayette, Navy and after tonight American! That means our farthest trips will be Colgate, Loyola, Army and Boston University.
Picking the upsets in this league continues to be tough! Our posters rebounded this time and went 64/105 for 61%.

Holy Cross @ American (after a lousy game and everyone ready to give up, there seems to be an inevitable slight improvement just to give us false hope. American is not Bucknell, Crusaders win)
Colgate @ Army (cadets at home and the long range artillery will win it for them)
Bucknell @ Navy (Bison finally on a roll)
Boston Univ. @ Lafayette (BU puts it together)
Loyola @ Lehigh (going with the home team)

Holy Cross-- Crusaders beat AU twice last season. AU has been using a small squad of players and it may not be working as hoped for, e.g. Larry Matuzis, NAIA transfer, has played 117 minutes in the last three games and went 8/20 on 2's and 3/16 on 3's. He scored 20+ in 5 of 6 games in one OOC stretch but is struggling while AU looks to him for points. His O-Ratings in last 5 games are 73-94-81-65-79. I don't know about his defense. Key question today is "will AU make 3's"? I'm looking for a big game from JF to carry a motivated HC team to the win.
Army-- Colgate depends on the three and has won its last two games despite its 3 point shooting accuracy having declined quite a bit. Freshman Jack Ferguson is 5/32 in PL play. Will Rayman has had 4 sub-par games in a row Army beat Lehigh by 12 in latest. Army is 10-1 when it shoots 56% or higher on eff fg pctg and 12 -2 when opponents shoot at 56% or lower. Colgate is shooting 49% in PL play.
Bucknell-- Bison have won last 8 games versus Navy. Bison are struggling with their threes, hitting 31% in PL play, but have held PL opponents under 30%. PL opponents eff fg pctg is 44%. This is a very deep team. Foulland has been a monster in PL play including hitting a higher than expected % of free throws. Navy is 11-1 when shooting 51% ans 2-7 otherwise. I see this as an "otherwise" game for Navy due to Bucknell's great defense.
Boston University-- BU beat Navy on the road in the latest and has #1 offense and 32 defense in PL play. 3 point shooting has improved and is at 42% in PL games, second best.
Lehigh-- Loyola relies on the two but is 5-2 when it hits 40% or more of its threes and 0-12 otherwise. Loyola commits a tremendous number of fouls and while Lehigh doesn't draw a lot of fouls the Mountain hawks may get to the line in this game where they are #1 in PL FT percentage. Andree continues to excel on offense with an O-Rating over 100 in each of his last 9 games. Lehigh is 7-3 when opponents shoot 55% or lower and Loyola is at 52% in PL games

You mean preceded yours!? Perhaps he just wanted a comfort level that if we both agreed on the picks that he was safe to do so? There is a slight chance that being the big bettor he is that he really does spend hours in analysis (not the psychiatric kind, the probability kind). We luv ya, KY!

Paging 45! Paging 45! You have less than 4 hours to get your picks in. Stop adjusting your solar panels (it's not sunny anyway today) and trying to dun your tenants and take 5 minutes to make your pics. You can PM KY for help if you aren't sure.

Off now to a Knights of Columbus meeting, will DVR the game and watch it when I get back later tonight!
