Bell was definitely the guy that led that, but when you had three guys that scored 14 ppg (Bell one of those three) I figured it'd be easy for the others to step into that role. Maybe it will come in time, but it's surprising to me that Hilliard wasn't there yet, and even more surprising that Arcidiacono (who seems to have that kind of personality) isn't trying to jump into that void. I definitely think they really miss Bell a lot more than I thought they would.

Watching tonight I definitely feel that 'Nova's biggest problem in this game was themselves. On the boards they were getting outworked and on defense no one could stop Bucknell's main scorer. And on the attack they just didn't seem well-enough organized. They did well with the fast-break, and early on when they were asserting themselves physically they were able to control both ends. Bucknell's comeback totally took the wind out of their sails. Talent-wise they are still probably the cream of the crop in this league, but until they figure out who is going to lead them, they won't reach their potential. I'm curious to see how they do against VCU. If they play like they did tonight, the Rams will run them off the court.
