Anyone care to guess the last time we swept the regular season series against Bucknell?

Back on the winning trail...and a victory on the road....Played hard, solid Defense, and Batch had a very good game...
Home game next Wednesday...Maybe there will be a good student turnout, this group deserves to get some support....

The color guy is actually pretty good. Birdsong is like a caricature of a terrible homer announcer. Kind of a combination of John Sterling, Ted Knight, and Homer Simpson.

I give this group a ton of credit for hanging in there this season. Congrats!

Any win on the road is nice, but you do know Bucknell is now 1-7 in PL play. right?

One of my favorite calls today..."Holy Cross takes an open 3 point shot and Bucknell blocks it. Just how do you do that??? Also, he never has Bison players fouling. He just says "the ref says ___ fouled". He has mastered multi-tasking (being both unprofessional and annoying).

I think Kirkwood is going to be a very nice player at HC. Very nice.

Kirkwood is certainly developing and it could not come at a better time...17 minutes, 6 points (2 threes) and 1 rebound

Shoot 10-19 from downtown and you're going to win a lot of games.
This group seems to be getting the most out of their talent level. They're sticking together and scrapping for everything they can get. Kudos.
Looking ahead... tough week to come, but staying out of the play-in round of the the league tournament looks like an attainable goal. That would certainly exceed the expectations I had entering league play.

Alot of ticky tack fouls today If we had to give this game a name, I'd call it "The Afternoon of the Phantom And One!". Both sides.

You can see the effect of Gates’ fatigue with those missed free throws. Today, he sucked from the line when he was relatively rested as well. Think it's got in his head now.

Only bearable way to watch this broadcast is with the sound off. I tried it for a minute or two. I thought I'd keep it on if the announcer at least said how many fouls on a guy when he committed one. He didn't and, yes, not going to listen to his schtick for anything else. I wish the score ticker on tv flashed the fouls on the player for a moment.

I think Dorsey gets my vote for the best shut down (and enthusiastic) defender I can recall at HC.
One other thing......has anyone but me noticed that when he drives to the basket he almost never shoots the ball? He always pulls up in the lane and looks to pass.

What happened to Bucknell? I thought they were the model to follow for D-1 success in the PL..

I didn’t want to jinx it, but how can Bucknell be favored by 7.5 over anyone?
Same with HC, but we haven’t been.

The color guy is actually pretty good. Birdsong is like a caricature of a terrible homer announcer. I can't believe anyone – anyone – likes listening to that hack. The worst in the PL, by a mile.

And when you lose your coaching advantage, Katie bar the door. Bucknell has a wonderful facility and has been able to recruit from the strength of recent winning seasons, but that's not helping them now as they are 0-4 against HC this year with Nelson and Magarity getting the most out of their players. HC has the coaching advantage in the HC-Bucknell rivalry this year.

The truly sad thing is that he's actually less intolerable than he used to be. The current Bucknell administration is indifferent to athletics in all respects.

Anyone care to guess the last time we swept the regular season series against Bucknell? 2002-03, when HC went 26-5? RW was unable to replicate in six subsequent seasons.

Kirkwood is certainly developing and it could not come at a better time...17 minutes, 6 points (2 threes) and 1 rebound If he becomes half the player his brother was, he will be a big contributor. His brother was IL Rookie of the Year. All Ivy First Team as a sophomore. Did not play junior year, all games cancelled. Unanimous first team his senior year (2021-22). Did not take a fifth year. Currently plays for the Long Island Nets.
