  • Bucknell fans, want tickets for the Bison's Nov. 21 visit to Penn State? PSU puts individual tickets on sale at 10 a.m. today. Visit GoPSUsports.com or call the Nits' ticket office at 814-865-5555.

  • Bison fans can also catch a preview of opening night foe Albany here. Story centers on the Danes' 6-5 point guard Brian Lillis.

  • Since e-mailer John filled us in on Bucknell apparently withdrawing its offer to Germantown Academy guard Kyle Griffin, new he has comitted to LaSalle has little Patriot relevance. But since dad played at Lehigh, we'll link anyhow.

  • Mike Farrell's hometown paper in Daytona Beach checks in with a story on the Lafayette grad's transition to becoming an assistant coach with the Leopards.

  • Word yesterday that the Womens Basketball Coaches Association will name an award after later Army coach Maggie Dixon makes us wonder why the Patriot League has no honor named after Jack Bruen.

  • As John's e-mail, referenced above, points out, you never know how hard a school actually went after a player. Just because they tell a press conference a school was on their final list does not mean the school was still recruiting the player. We offer that caveat with this link to a report of a Canadian point guard choosing Old Dominion over Holy Cross and two other U.S. schools.

  • In Part III of his 65 Things You Need TO Know series, CSTV.com's Bryan Armen Graham offers a Holy Cross history lesson, but makes no mention of the modern day Crusaders. Surely some of Matt B.'s buddies on the the CrosSports board will use this as basis for another argument that HC should leave the Patriot League.
