In a season that has been plagued by injuries and inexperienced play, Bucknell has regained a little of that post season magic. The Bison who own NCAA tournament wins over Kansas and Arkansas the past two years found themselves down 2 points with under 4 seconds to go in the third overtime of their first round game with Navy.
It was senior John Griffin, who coach Pat Flannery has said is the heart and soul of this team, kept his and the Bisons year alive. He took the inbounds pass and took two dribbles and banked in a shot just inside halfcourt to give Bucknell a two point win.
So look out Kansas, Bucknell isn’t done yet…
Speaking of done, Coach Perry Watson has resigned after fifteen years at the helm of Detroit. Watson, who took a leave of absence around Christmas time due to health reasons, made it official after their opening round loss to Wright State.
Not done yet, rumor has it that Eddie Sutton is all over the Missouri State job. That’s right, another job that hasn’t opened has caught the eye and interest of Sutton. Also, Nolan Richardson is a leading candidate at Arkansas State. I am ordering my tickets for the Arkansas-Arkansas State game right now.
