The best part of Bucknell's first ever ranking is that Arizona isn't ranked! They have one stinkin' vote in the AP poll, none in the USAToday poll. I love it!!!!

I have a theory that most Arizona basketball fans are of the "fair-weather" variety. I'm hoping the Cats go to the NIT just so I can see if I'm right.

Incidently, if Bucknell were playing at Arizona this year, I'd pick the Bison without hesitation!

Actually Marcus - the one vote you thought was for Arizona is actually for NORTHERN ARIZONA - which makes it all the sweeter!

Also - too bad UNI could not have beaten Mizzou St - then the matchup Saturday would have been between two ranked teams!

xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx xlolx My bad! You know, there are times I don't mind being wrong.
The only thing keeping the Cats' tourament hopes alive is an inflated RPI. Hopefully they'll get swept in the Bay Area this comming weekend.

I usually don't root for UC Berkeley, but I hope they sweep the Arizona schools, as I think they are just as deserving of a top-25 ranking as Everybody's Media Darling.

Bison come into Easton Wednesday night. Can the 'pards work some Kirby Magic with a big Zoo turnout? Kirby is a tough place to play when that place is rocking. Meanwhile, Colgate will be 12 miles down the road at Stabler. Lehigh-Lafayette, round 2 will be Sunday at Stabler at 1 p.m.

Wow! Nice job Bison... too bad it's going to end this Wednesday :p . But seriously, hope you knock off UNI Saturday. Can't wait to see Bucknell - Lafayette on Sportscenter Wed. night! That, plus we no longer have to wait to see Bucknell's score in alphabetical order.. top25 teams are always listed! This is great for the PL. It feels like we are right there with you... yet sadly no. Seriously contemplating an Easton trip Wed..

That's awesome! Us UNI fans know EXACTLY what that feels like. Congrats to the Bison.

And hopefully we can feel that again when we knock you off Saturday! xlolx

Some Bucknell friends have convinced me that I really "need" to join them at Wednesday's game. Methinx it's payback time for last fall when I asked them if Bucknell had given up football.

Game will likely be on RCN, Channel 4, in the Lehigh Valley. Gotta root for the 'pards in this one! But I'm hopin to see Lehigh dispatch Colgate if I get out of work in time...

Dear Carney,

Don't go! It's a trap!
