We'll get blown out at Navy. Then nightmare season will be over. Looks like 11-19 Next year, maybe we win 14 if we get some luck

We’re going lose to Bucknell in OT in the PL Championship game.

I'll be shocked if we get blown out, after the embarrassment of the last game. Win or lose, I predict a big effort. One thing we have to solve is scoring against their defense. We've only scored over 50 against them once in the last 4 games.

Carmody also has something of a monkey on his back vs. DeChellis, whose teams have never lost to CBC's on their home court. 11-0 (7-0 in the Big Ten, 4-0 in the PL)

I think we may have been better off playing American at home Tuesday in the PIG then getting Colgate in quarters rather than Navy ??

Navy is a tough match-up, especially at the defensive end. They rebound the ball well at both ends, good size inside, an outstanding on-ball defender in Abdullah. We'll need to play well defensively ourselves and stay out of foul trouble.

I didn't see either of the Navy games, what do they play on D? Floyd has to have a big game on both ends of the court, and we have to shoot it well...If JF has a good game it will open up his teammates..and they have to finish! AB, Grandi, Caleb are playing very well now, they don't look like freahman out there..

Don’t perceive a big difference in playing Navy or Gate. I think folks may think Navy is better than they are based on the debacle after the suspensions first hit. We played them to OT down there before that. I think it will be a competitive game that both teams will have a chance to win down the stretch.

JF played a total of 674 minutes his first 2 seasons combined. As of now, both Grandi and CG have easily eclipsed that total, and AB needs 7 minutes Thursday to pass the 674. If nothing else, we are a lot more experienced than when we started the season!

I think the path to the PL title game is more advantageous facing Navy and (likely) Colgate rather than going through a hot Lehigh team and Bucknell.

Grandson is on a nice roll, scoring and rebounding on a consistent basis. Need Green to have solid game to beat Navy he hasn't played well in either game although to be fair no one did in the last Navy game. Hope Niego is ready to go, he has been a wild card in a few of our wins.

Need Green to have solid game to beat Navy he hasn't played well in either game. A combined 2-15, one assist, and four turnovers. As you have noted elsewhere, if he does reasonably well, we have a good chance - otherwise, not so much.

Need Green to have solid game to beat Navy he hasn't played well in either game although to be fair no one did in the last Navy game. Hope Niego is ready to go, he has been a wild card in a few of our wins. Comparing his first run through the PL with the second half of the conference play we see some differences in JG's stats, principally in the way he scores. His three point shooting, while clutch in some memorable games, was sub-optimal in both halves: 12/40 in the first half of PL play then 12/43 in the second. However, you have to like his two's--very high percentage in both halves of the PL season but he's going to the basket more of late and drawing more fouls: 14/24 on twos in first 9 PL games then 29/48 in last 9. On free throws: 12/17 in first 9 PL games then 20/26 in last 9. I didn't do the customary look at minutes played. Assists declined a bit: 24 to 19. Fouls committed went up a little: 17 to 23. Rebounds went from 49 to 54. I think he's handling the ball more but his turnovers went from 24 to 19. Points scored: 76 then 114. Some of the sample sizes may be small. I like the way Jacob is playing and think he has a very bright future

Navy and Colgate have combined for 0 wins against teams in the top 200.
As a 6 seed, you couldn’t really ask for an easier run to the finals.

The only way we don't make the final is if we have a truly horrendous coach who does not scout opponents or make a game plan, right?

Well, that’s not what I said, but having a coach who would create opponent-specific game plans would certainly help.

The Crusaders are playing way better than when they played Navy at home this season! Would rather be a round ahead playing Navy. Potential to have Lafayette in the semifinals at home.

Sounds like American and Lafayette should also have no excuse for getting to the finals....much easier than 2 years ago...
