Princeton visits host school Bucknell on the first leg of the Legends Classic subregional the day after Thanksgiving. Curious about how this year's model of the Bison differs from the team the Tigers defeated in 2010-11, I traded emails with the well-cloaked Bison137, who spends much of his time on Bucknell's Basketball-U board. The result is an unprecedented fifth Know! Your! Foe! preview in as many games this season.
If you cover a team the Tigers will face down the line, let us know. It would be great to talk with you.

Lackawanna beat Mercer (1-5), 81-57. Brandin Youngblood and Demetrius Tilley each had 11 for the Vikings.
A different Bill Carmody in the locker room at halftime when facing Seton Hall was a reason why Northwestern was able to claim the Charleston Classic championship.
Undefeated Denver hosts St. Mary's before breaking for Thanksgiving.
Around the Ivy League: It was a very poor day for the conference. Brown (3-3) was the lone victor, defeating winless Monmouth, 79-71. The sane Wagner team that won at Jadwin went into the Palestra and came away with a 71-65 win over Penn (3-2). Seton Hall bested Yale (2-2) by a 73-62 final. Columbia (0-4) remained winless, losing 67-53 at Stony Brook. A late 11-0 run allowed Delaware a 76-68 triumph over Cornell (2-3).
Leaving plenty of points short of the rim, either at point blank range or from the free throw line, Princeton found itself chasing Elon for the entire second half.
On four separate occasions the Tigers teased within one but were unable to reclaim a lead they only held briefly early.
After the Phoenix threw a cross court pass away with :13.6 to go, Princeton received one final opportunity.
However, Douglas Davis’ three point attempt at the buzzer hit only the iron as time ran out and the Tigers were on the wrong side of a 56-55 final.
Princeton made a woeful 15 of 29 free throws (51.7%), which was barely better than Elon’s 12-23 (52.2%).
“Anytime you get 19 offensive rebounds and you shoot 29 free throws, you like your chances,” said head coach Mitch Henderson after the orange and black’s third loss in four games. “A pretty disappointing result tonight.”
Ian Hummer had 18 for the Tigers on 5-21 shooting, 2-14 in the opening frame. He was joined in double figures by Davis with 12.
Drew Spradlin’s 13 paced three Phoenix in double digits.

Bucknell fans, I'm now looking in your general direction!
In one of the biggest wins of Craig Robinson's tenure, Oregon State (4-0) rallied late to topple Texas in overtime. Jared Cunningham scored a career high 37 as the Beavers took advantage of their opportunity and advanced to face Vanderbilt in the Legends Classic finals.
Richmond (3-1) opened on a 24-3 run and cruised past Sacred Heart. Darien Brothers got the Spiders moving on offense and on defense.
Harcum took care of Mercer (1-4) by a 83-42 final.
Tonight's Charleston Classic final pits Northwestern and Seton Hall.
Around the Ivy League: Overall it was a good day for the conference. Brown (2-2) rallied for a seven point win over Hartford. Penn (3-1) dug out of an early 10-0 hole to beat Robert Morris, 66-60. The only team in the league to fall on Saturday was Columbia (0-3), who dropped a 66-58 decision at home to American. R.J. Griffin had a career high 29 as Dartmouth (1-2) entered the win column via a 66-62 victory against Bryant. Out west Harvard (3-0) stayed perfect by a 77-67 count at Loyola Marymount.
