Bucknell 69, Pittsburgh 66 (story) - How important was this win by Bucknell
at Pittsburgh, the first time they had beaten Pitt anywhere since Jimmy V roamed the Bison sideline in the Seventies? How big was an balanced offensive attack that saw three Bucknell players score in double figures, a team effort over a Big East club that outshot and outrebounded them? How huge was

Chris over at Hoop Time will ably take the details from here; I have to go finish my croissant and fresh-squeezed orange juice in my plush terrycloth bathrobe.
