St. Bonaventure

[GreatDanes06]

Article today which talks about Brown's contract mentions we will be playing St. Bonaventure this upcoming year, and then there in 07-08

[B9j2j6s]

Intresting little fact St. Bon's five recruits are all JUCO transfers. Also the TU screwed up they graduated two starters Ahmed Smith there best player, and there lead Big Siena Transfer Paul Williams.

St. Bonnie's RPI last year was only #290, their best win was a 19-pointer over #165 Central Conn. Unless the JUCOs are really good, they're mostly just a big name since they stopped accepting welding major transfers.

Boisy,

 

Check the facts before you comment. Paul Williams is only a junior as far as basketball is concerned. He will return.

Still a nice schedule.

 

-The first Atlantic 10 to play at the RACC.

-The first CAA team to play in the RACC.

- A Bucknell team that could be getting votes in the AP top 25 coming into the RACC.

-Possibly another game or two we don't know about.

- We go to the dance and my tickets didn't even go up from last year!

 

I'll take it!

Bucknell has lost all their top players. They will not be receiving any Top 25 votes next year. However, it's still a nice game to have at home.

Rumor has it NJIT is sliding into the top 25 this year, replacing Bucknell.

Saint73 your a true joke when evaluating other teams talents.

 

From the Bucknell site.....

 

McNaughton is the most decorated of these three talented rising seniors. He is a two-time First Team All-Patriot League selection, a two-time Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year and a member of the 2006 NABC All-District Team.

 

On top of all that he's 6'11"

 

Badmus took over as the team's starting point guard midway through his freshman year and has proven to be the team's catalyst on the floor.

 

Badmus will start at PG for the 4th season.

 

Brown is coming off an outstanding junior season in which he averaged 6.5 points and 4.7 rebounds, figures that swelled to 8.2 and 5.9 in Patriot League play. He shot 52.2 percent from the field last year and ranked third in the Patriot League in rebounding in conference games.

 

Brown is a 6'5" athlete

 

That's Bucknell's 3 SR. captains for next year - the cupboard is really bare at Bucknell.

 

Nobody could ever compare with the talent Siena has!!!!!

Siena 73 is a clueless moron! Bucknell returns 3 starters and 6th man Donald Brown. Their best player returns in 6'11 Chris McNaughton. He is as good as any mid major big man in the country. He can play in any league in the country. The guards at Bucknell have enjoyed so much success because of McNaughton getting double teamed.

 

If Siena scheduled Bucknell it would be the game of the century and Bucknell would be loaded. Go play NJIT twice. Maybe without Kojo it will be two good games! LOL!

Poolman , you put it better than I could. But even if Bucknell lost all thier starters, Bucknell would be a more respected oppenent than Loundonville High!!!

yahoo listed him as a senior

[saints73]

Hey Patch and Poolman, what's up with the personal attack? I was trying to compliment Albany on a nice home game, but also point out a few facts.

 

Bucknell is graduating two of there top three players from last year including the reigning Patriot League Player of the Year, Charles Lee.

Those are the facts.

 

Now shut your trap until you know what the hell you are talking about.

"Bucknell has lost all their top players. They will not be receiving any Top 25 votes next year." - saints73

 

Now, which is it? I guess changing your bash after you're called out is better than keeping with it the whole time.

 

I might suggest you follow your own advice.

Saint73 - relax this isn't the Siena Board, we try to be a little more civilized and intelligent here.. Here's part of your post.

 

Bucknell has lost all their top players

 

That's not a way of complimenting a team for getting a good OOC Home game. Bucknell is a very formidable team with 3 of its Top 6 returning.

 

You must have went to the "Siena Tony School of Speech" and earned a Masters in the skill of "condescending compliments".

 

Enjoy your Home and Home vs NJIT.

 

Here's right back at you

 

Now shut your trap until you know what the hell you are talking about.

Sorry GDG, I guess my initial post was not clearly written. Let me rephrase.

 

Bucknell will not be receiving any Top 25 votes next year.
