I went up to Lewisburg last night and saw Bucknell-Colgate. Like a dope I left,
with half the crowd, with 32 seconds left. ‘Gate had the ball with a 10 point lead. The rest is available here:

A video-by-video breakdown of Bucknell’s miracle last-minute comeback win over Colgate

But what I saw before my ill timed exit was officiating that allowed The Raiders to turn this into hand to hand combat. It took Bison completely out of their offensive rhythm. A really ugly first half ended with ‘Gate up 31-20. 2nd half was more of the same except Bucky finally hit some shots and ‘Gate completely lost composure in the last 20 seconds.

I would expect more of the same from Swopshire & Company tomorrow night in Hamilton if they can get away with it. A lot of grabbing, pushing, and flopping. We have to match their defensive intensity from the start, and remain composed, error free on offense. Not exactly nuggets of wisdom as that’s the formula every night. But this is a verry winnable game…..
