5 points and 65% chance of Bucknell winning seem very conservative to me. But, hey, ya never know.

Bucknell vs. Holy Cross (From the Bucknell board)
The Bucknell-Holy Cross rivalry has been one of the league's best through the years. Some of the highlights:
The Bison and Crusaders have combined to win 11 of the last 18 Patriot League titles.
These two teams have met 15 times in the 28 Patriot League Tournaments, with Holy Cross winning eight and Bucknell seven. That includes four times in the championship game. Bucknell defeated Holy Cross in the 2005 and 2006 title tilts, while the Crusaders topped the Bison in the final in 1993 and 2007.
The Bison and Crusaders had never met until the formation of the Patriot League in 1990-91, but this will be the 73rd meeting in 29 years.
Bucknell leads the series 43-29. The road team has won just 10 of the last 27.
Bucknell is 23-11 against Holy Cross in Lewisburg and 16-5 at Sojka Pavilion. Bucknell is 16-15 vs. Holy Cross at the Hart Center, with one of the wins coming in the 2005 Patriot League championship game.
The Bison have swept the Crusaders in each of the last two seasons. A year ago, Bucknell won 77-56 at home and 68-67 in overtime at the Hart Center.
Zach Thomas led the way with 18 points in last year's meeting at Sojka Pavilion. Avi Toomer had a strong game with 10 points in 16 minutes off the bench. Austin Butler and Jacob Grandison tallied 13 apiece for Holy Cross.
In the rematch in Worcester, Bucknell outscored Holy Cross 2-1 in overtime to take the one-point win. Nana Foulland had 21 points, and Zach Thomas and Stephen Brown 15 each for the Bison. Jehyve Floyd paced Holy Cross with 18 points and 11 rebounds.
In this season's first meeting at Sojka Pavilion on Jan. 14, Nate Sestina scored a career-high 32 points on 11-for-11 shooting from the field in Bucknell's 93-78 victory. Kimbal Mackenzie added 17 points, including the 1,000th of his career. Floyd scored 25 points and Butler 17 for Holy Cross. Bucknell led the game by as many as 26 points before the Crusaders made a late run to get as close as nine.

Has anybody heard anything about CN's return? I asked Jen Tolland and she said when she asks Coach Carm he just replies "he's on the mend.", or similar....

At this point, if we can red-shirt him - I think we should Not too sure about the red shirt rules...I think he would need to be enrolled in a degree program..If he is on track to graduate in 4 years (most likely), he would need to be in graduate level program which HC does not have...or in another undergrad program, (second major?)...Remember RJ did his 5th year at UConn... |
