Bucknell 57, DePaul 52 -- As Chris McNaughton told :"I don't think we're talking about upsets anymore. People know how to spell Bucknell."
Bucknell survives 17 turnovers to win its fifth straight. Kevin Bettencourt leads the Bison with 16 as Bucknell shoots 51 percent from the floor. Chris McNaughton with 12 points, Charles Lee with 10.
BU holds DePaul to 38 percent from the floor. Sammy Mejia the only Blue Demon in double figures with 20.
Colgate 62, Princeton 39 -- Raiders hold Princeton to an Army-like 11 points in the first half (or should we say an Army '04-'05 like).
Kyle Chones with an 11-point, 15-board double-double for the Raiders. His 15 rebounds were just 7 less than Princeton's entire team grabbed. Alvin Reed added 16 points for the 'Gate, which shot 51.3 percent for the game while holding Princeton to 26.3 percent in the first half, 32.6 percent for the game.
Marist 92, Lafayette 84 -- Lafayette led 45-44 at the half, but could not hold off the Red Foxes, who used a 9-0 run midway through the second half to take control.
Five in double figures for Marist, led by Will Whittington's 25, including 6 treys. Lafayette's Pat Betley also had 25. Betley one-upped Whittington with 7 three-pointers in the loss.
Lafayette, with an undersized, guard dominated rotation, wants to get up and down this year. But Stephen Miller's story in the points out a sort of paradox for the Leopards. They actually seem to play better when the pace is more in control, as witnessed in their wins over Cornell and Princeton.
Ohio 81, American 50 -- OU hit 12 three-pointers to clobber AU. Andre Ingram and Brayden Billbe with 10 each in the loss. Sonny Troutman (18 points) led four in double figures for the Bobcats.
How anxious must Jeff Jones be to get 6-11 South Carolina transfer Paulius Joneliunas on the floor? AU was outrebounded 42-28 by Ohio. Through five games they are being outrebounded by an average of 5 boards per game.
