Tomorrow is wall-to-wall hoops action, which means the Friday pickings are slim as usual. If you happen to be staying in tonight, you’d be better off with the NBA doubleheader than with this pair of duds. But just in case you’re into the whole masochism thing, here are the pair of games from the Worldwide Leader… Navy (7-8 overall, 0-0 Patriot) at Bucknell (5-9, 0-0) – 6 PM CST, ESPNU – The Bison are just two years removed from back-to-back appearances in the 2nd round of the NCAAs, including that famous upset of Kansas. But this season is more nightmare than fairy tale, as Bucknell has a sickening RPI of 236th and a record that promises their only NCAA hopes lie in the Patriot League tourney. Siena (8-6 overall, 3-1 MAAC) at Niagara (10-3, 4-0) – 8 PM CST, ESPNU – Unlike the first half of the doubleheader, this one is a pretty big game in the world of the mid-majors. Niagara is the lone perfect team in the MAAC, but faces a tough test at home from a Siena team that upset Stanford back in November. |
