No rest for the weary in Dallas. After knocking off Arkansas in the first round Friday night, several members of the team were back in the arena to take in the nightcap between Penn and Texas.
That was there time for relaxation. The Bucknell Bison will spend much of today preparing for tomorrow's second round game against No. 1 seed Memphis.
The team's schedule today includes a closed practice at noon (central) in the American Airlines Center, followed by a press conference with the players at 1:35 and one with head coach Pat Flannery at 1:55.
We will update on the team's preparations and the press conferences following those sessions.
Game time Sunday, originally announced as 3:45 p.m., will be at 1:15 (central).
SUPERSTITIONS: In the Bison locker room following the game, sophomore guard John Griffin was seen wearing a wrinkly, definitely unironed, light purple oxford shirt. Not the kind of shirt usually worn with a warm-up suit, but Griffin had a reason.
"It's superstion. I've worn it for every road game this season," Griffin said.
He was not the only superstitious member of the Bison travel party. Todd Newcomb, director of the Bison Club, watched the entire game on a television monitor in the concourse of the American Airlines Center.
Newcomb, who was helping to man the desk were players' families picked up their comp tickets, said he was there when the Bison opened their early 8-2 lead and was afraid to move for fear of messing with the good karma.
