With Bona having almost 1,000 more fans per game than Temple, Bona should have 2 games in Reilly center to 1 game at Temple.

Temple is a sad story. They killed their basketball program chasing football

Shirley Temple you cannot win here! Oreo cookie crumbles! These were some of my first impressions of Bona Basketball in the R.C.! I don’t give a duck about Temple! But I do wish they were competitive and we could play and beat the snot out of em!!!

I watched a replay of the Bucknell rider game that took place before Thanksgiving. Going into the game but now was four and two and Ryder was three and two. It’s interesting that writer doesn’t play a home game until November 30. Writers two losses so far where to Iowa and UCLA. It was a pretty competitive game. I thought writer was the bigger physical team and more aggressive team. Fuck now likes the three. They’ve got a couple of bags, one Williamson a freshman I believe moves pretty good. I saw Bucknell use a 131 for a good portion of the game and I’m guessing we’ll either see that or some other kind of zone based on what other teams have done. The fall shooting by both teams was pretty bad. Writer put Bucknell into the double bonus with about six minutes left maybe more. But it didn’t seem to help. I wanna say Bucknell shot something like 11 for 19 from the line. That said, I think this is a good Buchnell team and it’s always hard to play a team on the road. The game I watched was right up against the Thanksgiving break And most of the students had left, but I would imagine we’ll see a big crowd on Wednesday night. The game came down to both teams having a shot. Writer was up 5352 with 12 seconds to play, and Bucknell got the ball for one last go at it. They ran a brush screen and freed up their man temporarily inside, but they end up shooting a fade away, which bounced off and that pretty much was the game there were some incident incidental. free throws added, as Bucknell called the timeout with 5/10 of a second left and as it turns out, they were assessed the technical because they didn’t have a timeout. Final score 5553. At this point, Bucknell was four and three. I think they’ve played again, but it didn’t track down a score as of yet.
