More thoughts on Bucknell's upset by Mark Simon of ESPN:

That's what makes Bucknell, coming off its upset of No. 7 Pittsburgh on January 2nd, such a pleasant surprise. The Bison start three sophomores and two juniors on a team that went 14-15 last season, but head into the Patriot League season with a 9-4 mark (its best since 1992-93) and six straight wins. There is only one senior on the roster, 6-foot-8 forward Chris Niesz, who ranks eighth on the team with 2.5 ppg.

Bucknell is one of the three oldest men's basketball programs in the nation (along with Yale and Minnesota), but it has been a long time since this squad was something to talk about.

"We've become a good club," said head coach Pat Flannery, now in his 11th season at his alma mater. "We have size, our kids can shoot, and we're very good defensively. We give ourselves a chance to win."

Flannery's assessment is right on. The Bison feature 6-foot-11 center Chris McNaughton, an electrical engineering major from Germany with a 3.7 GPA, who is averaging 13.4 points per game on 59.8 percent shooting. They also shot over 50 percent from the floor in the wins over Pittsburgh and Saint Joseph's and are holding teams to 39.8 percent shooting for the season.

Bucknell had a strong finish last season, closing with eight wins in its last 11 games, but didn't really experience any sort of carryover until an overtime win over Yale on December 4. That started the win streak in which each game has been better than its predecessor, culminating with the Patriot League's first win against a Top-10 team, an appearance as the No. 1 play of the night on "SportsCenter," and a flood of e-mails and phone calls to Flannery that, in one form or another, contained the word "unbelievable."

There was no intimidation factor of any kind, not even for a very young team in a gym in which the opponent was virtually unbeatable.

"You go into the holidays with confidence, and confidence is a funny thing," Flannery said. "We went to Pittsburgh and said 'let 'er rip!' We told our guys that if we played smart, we could stay with them. Next thing we know, we're up eight points at halftime. They made a run, but there was no panic from our guys."

THE BIGGEST UPSET OF THE YEAR!

Ok, I know the year is only 3 days old but what a great way to start the year. What am I talking about? Bucknell beat #7/#10 Pittsburgh! Where were you when you found out Bucknell beat Pitt? I was in Chicago at O'Hare International Airport. I had just sat down at my gate after going through customs. My cell phone vibrated and I saw I had a new text message. I view the message and I thought I read it wrong, Bucknell 69, Pitt 66. I have been known to have a little dyslexia when it comes to numbers. I read it again and I was amazed. I had the biggest smile on my face once I realized we had won. Immediately I called Jen Jen since I knew she was at the game. She told me it was the best game ever and I am inclined to agree with her.

At the beginning of the season, I knew we had a good team. But this good? I am flabbergasted. My expectations have now sky-rocketed. Granted league play has not started and anything can happen in the patriot league tournament. But, I'm feeling mighty confident that we will be in the Big Dance come March.

Matt A. has some good musings about the win!

Here's what Andy Katz said in his Weekly Watch, Teams to Watch:

Bucknell: The Bison pulled off one of the stunners of the season with Sunday night's win at Pittsburgh. Bucknell ended Pittsburgh's 48-game nonconference home winning streak. Bucknell, which has won six straight and is off to a 9-4 start, also won at Saint Joseph's last week. Bucknell is likely headed for a showdown with American and Holy Cross in the Patriot League. The race for the title should be one of the best this season if the Bison can translate their nonconference success into the league chase.

I knew the Patriot League was great!
