Time to get this real sad start turned around ,,. Bucknell beat both Delaware and So Indiana but also lost to two juggernauts - Kentucky and Mt St. Marys.

Spiders 62-59.

Well, given we tip off in 15 hours, the fact there are only 4 posts in this thread (now 5!) aptly demonstrates how quickly enthusiasm has been sapped.

Anyway, the Spiders touched down at 4pm. About a 35-minute bus ride from there to campus.


But the betting thread is getting some hits.
 
8legs and I are moving the line in Spiders favor. Has moved from -1.5 to Spiders -3. Dull money is on Spiders 😀.

That and Motta’s probably out. He missed their last game vs MSM & 1 of their better players. Possibly a needed break for the Spiders.
 
6 steals already, we’ve got active hands and doubling at good times.

Agree giving up the corner three is an issue again.

We’re missing a lot of threes ourselves, but hard to complain too much about an early 10-point lead.
 
Tyne does not lack confidence, but yeah, he’s gotta start making buckets. Disappointing to not see improvement on that front this season.

Hunt is terrific, but overall the offense isn’t floating great aside from a couple nice give and gos.

Fortunately the D is good and Bucknell can’t shoot.

OK, to try to keep it positive, D Lo is playing very solidly and making plays that are their. Beagle looking solid. Roche knows what to do. Everyone else passes up open shots to take contested shots. Hopefully that is just the early season learning curve.
Yep - too many missed opportunities. Guys def passing up shots. Not sure what’s going on with Tyne. His shot doesn’t look good. Hunt is a workhorse. Really impressive.
 
Hate complaining about an 18-point halftime lead, but the eye test says this would be a much different story against a better team.
Bucknell not a good team. Same with Charlotte. The best team we have played is Marist. We should be 4-0 at this point.
 
Okay, our offense isn’t great, but we didn’t shoot 1-for-29 like their halftime stat graphic says. 🤣
 
UR doing great to be only 1 of 29 from the field. Per ESPN +…
 
So many of our threes aren’t even close.

(Yes, I posted that before the Soulis airball.)
