For want of an inbounds pass.
*sigh*
Pat Flannery told :
The ball bounced over the far end line untouched, giving UNI the ball in its own end with no time off the clock.
Northern Iowa's Eric Crawford tied it to send the game to a second overtime. Eric Coleman scored 6 in the second extra session.
UNI seemed to wear Bucknell out at the end. Coleman, who had not done much damage in regulation, scored 9 of his 15 points in the two overtimes. Either he got quicker, or Bucknell's defenders slowed a half-a-step. On the road in double-OT, with the wind taken out your sails not once, but twice when you looked to have the game won, sounds like the latter.
The Bison could have won in regulation had they gotten the rebound of Ben Jacobsen's miss with 8 seconds left. But Coleman beat Bucknell to the carom and put it back to tie it at 51-51.
Not everyone is convinced this loss is a bad thing for Bucknell in the long run. It's hard to see a double-OT loss on the road against a team like UNI hurting their chances of getting an at-large bid if they don't win the Patriot League tournament.
And there are some who think it might actually enhance Bucknell's chances of winning the league.
Bill Gibbons, the Holy Cross womens coach, waited until the end of the Bucknell-UNI game before getting to Bender Arena for his team's game in the nightcap of a mens-womens twinbill.
"If they had won, I think Lehigh would have had a good chance of catching them Wednesday. Now I think they will come back and beat Lehigh pretty good and be on a roll heading into the tournament," Gibbons said.

Pat Flannery told :
"It was just the kind of thing where we didn't read it well. That was a miscommunication, and they happen in the game."For those who have been hanging with Bin Laden the past coupla hours, we're talking about the play at the end of the first overtime that cost Bucknell the game. With 2.8 seconds to go, holding a 2-point lead, Bucknell failed to get the ball inbounds. As Flannery pointed out, there was a mixup. Out around midcourt, Chris McNaughton made a run towards inbounds passer Donald Brown right about the same time Brown launched a bomb, expecting McNaughton to break the other way.
