Bucknell-- Bison got off to very slow starts versus Army (miraculous comeback after 24 point half-time deficit) and Boston U (down 12 at half and comeback fell short). Through turnovers or poor rebounding Bison have been giving opponents extra field goal attempts. Still, I see Bucknell straightening itself out. Sestina will have his way with Ivanauskas
Boston U-- Terriers will find Army easier than Bucknell (W) and AU )L) recent PL opponents
Holy Cross-- Lehigh's four losses are all to top 100 teams and HC is not yet in that classification. Lehigh, #1 in D-1 3 point % has been selective with that shot, taking a moderate number per game and hitting almost half (46.7%). HC has held 10 of 15 opponents to 31% or lower. The Navy game was a bad loss. HC's 5 losses were its 5 lowest 2PT % games. We should do better. Lehigh is a good team and this would be a good victory for HC.
American U- AU likes playing at home and I like the Eagles' chances versus Navy
Lafayette- This is for me the toughest game to pick but the more I look at Loyola the less I like what I see. Both defenses are woeful. What's wrong with Alex Petrie, whose effectiveness has declined significantly from last season? I think with Klinewski graduated, Petrie has been asked to deliver more of the offense and he must be forcing shots--or he's getting keyed on by defenses. Going with Lafayette and the home team advantage yet again
Home Court Winning % in PL Conference Play--maybe this will help posters
13-14= 54.4% 14-15= 60% 15-16= 53.3% 16-17= 52.2% 17-18= 55.6% 18-19= 80 % [have to look at the matchups, and only 10 games played)

Offensively, AU is a lot like Holy Cross, and they have a similar aversion to rebounding at both ends this year. If the Eagles have a tough day shooting-wise, they could be in trouble against the Middies.
