Bucknell-- The come from way-behind win in latest says something about the talent and determination of this Bucknell team. It won't be easy, though. Sestina vs Mahoney matchup will be interesting as Mahoney has been playing fantastic basketball: 49-65 (.754) on two point attempts in last 6 games and has averaged 19 PPG. Mahoney has not attempted a three in his career. Sestina has not delivered the all-league play that some projected but the season is young.
Army-- Disheartening loss to Bucknell but let's hope our future military leaders have the steel to bounce back. Lafayette has not been a very good team to date. Petrie has been way down in his 2 pt and 3 pt shooting percentages. I think Laf really misses Klinewski. Jaworski is a very good three point shooter. Army does not turn the ball over or yield offensive rebounds. That has helped Army go +14, +11, +7, +5, and +8 in field goal attempts in the last five games. On the other hand, Army never gets to the free throw line. Army's also not a good shooting team so all the extra attempts have delivered 1 win in last 5 games. Still, will go with Cadets
Holy Cross-- HC is 10-0 when shooting 53.6% or higher on twos and 0-4 when shooting 48.5% or lower. Navy's opponents hot 53.6% or higher in 8 of 12 games and I see HC doing so this weekend. The upset of Colgate came when Colgate kept firing and missing threes: 9-34. HC has not lost to a team ranked #157 or worse on KenPom and Navy is #308.
Lehigh-- Lehigh is the much better team and is at home
Colgate-- This is a tough one. Colgate is 4-0 at home--must be the cafeteria or dorm because it is not the supportive home crowds. AU is 7-1 when eff fg pctg is 50% or better and 0-4 when it is 48% or lower. Colgate's opponents average 47.9% (#80 in D-1). AU is #23 in D-1 in opponents' eff fg pctg, a paltry 44.7%, but only #196 in defensive efficiency because AU does not cause turnovers and is mediocre on defensive rebounding and commits fouls. Colgate is a good free throw shooting team. AU's strategy seems to be to guards against the three pointer--attempts and shooting percentage. AU opponents are #348 in D-1 on points from threes. I'll go with Colgate but would not be surprised to see AU win handily...

KY nice analysis, but Sestina's 22-12 start not bad
