Very good WIN for the Crusaders last night! Defense was very active, contesting shots and doubling down low with lots of energy! Great to see 10 guys getting in on the action! Hope it is contagious and continues! ! On the other hand, our Carnacs of the Hardwood did not fare well with 3 posters going 1 for 5 and 14 posters going 2 for 5! ! Only efg72 and thecrossisback were able to buck that trend and go 4 for 5, Kudos to them! !

Getting 4 of 5 correct from that set of games is most impressive. Had we been betting parimutuelly there our two stars would have made some nice cash on these games.

45, "we don't need no stinkin' stats!" Don't mix us up with Phreek! Dartboard and grandchildren work without stats. Boston University @ Bucknell Army @ American Loyola @ Colgate (really pains me to ever pick Colgate to win) Navy @ Lehigh Holy Cross @ Lafayette (more "gut" than "brain" but I have been waiting for Matt to get out of his shooting slump, time for it to happen and I think Carmody has learned that he needs to play guys further down the bench)

Bucknell- BU beat Bucknell in their first game as rebounds and turnovers gave BU 9 extra field goal attempts. That game was Bucknell's worst defensive effort in conference play. Mahoney had a big game but so did Sestina. BU is 9-2 when offensive efficiency is 108+ and 2-11 otherwise. Bucknell's defensive efficiency is 99.6 in conference games. Sotos has returned for Bison and is an asset even if he is not at 100%
American U-- I keep looking at Army's free throws as the key to its wins: 8-0 when free throw rate is 31%+ and 3-13 otherwise. AU defense does commit fouls, but AU also is #1 in PL games for free throw rate so this could be a battle at the line. I'll take AU at home
Colgate-- Colgate lost the first game @loy due to excessive turnovers (Colgate's 2nd worst TO game of the year) and a rebound disadvantage. Loyola is 5-0 when opponents shoot below 45% but 3-16 when opponents shoot 50% or better(eff fg pctg) and Colgate has exceeded 50% in all but 4 games. I see Colgate executing more effectively today and taking this one. Jordan Burns has missed the last 5 games.
Lehigh-- Lehigh lost last game, vs Colgate, as the Raiders got 15 more field goal attempts. Lehigh had 7 players with 2 or more turnovers and 21 total. Navy has won two in a row but this game features the PL's worst shooting team, Navy, on the road against the conference's best shooting team. Navy wins with its offensive rebounds but Lehigh defends well against them.
Holy Cross-- Crusaders should be buoyed by the nice thumping of Army. We need to defend against Petrie and Jaworski's threes and protect the ball: HC 9-2 when TO% below 16%.
