Top 5 - Thoughts on the Holy Cross / Bucknell Basketball Game

I went to the Holy Cross / Bucknell game last night and here are my top 5 observations from that game.

1. Holy Cross won the game 65 to 60 but it should not have been that close. The Crusaders were up b 14 with a little over 7 minutes to play but then they started to play sloppy. I'm not in love with the way this team is coached at all.

2. Holy Cross is now 3-0 in the Patriot League and in very good position to go on and earn the automatic NCAA birth that comes with winning the Patriot League

3. It was damn hot at the Hart Center last night. I felt really bad for the Bucknell mascot. Whoever was in the Bison suit must have lost 10 pounds in sweat last night.

4. Toronto Blue Jay GM JP Riccardi was at the game last night. JP has a long history with local basketball (he used to coach Holy Name high school's basketball team for years). It's good to see a guy at the top of his profession staying grounded to his roots.

5. John Feinstein, the author of such books as The Punch (about the punch thrown by Kermit Washington that nearly killed Rudy Tomjanovich) and A Civil War: Army vs Navy, was at the game doing color for the ESPNU broadcast. I wanted to ask Feinstein why we never see him on ESPN's Sports Reporters anymore. My specific question was going to be to ask if he said something bad about the midget Mike Lupica and that's why he's been absent from the show.
