D.C. attorney Bill Hall is well-known as one of the key players in bringing baseball back to Washington. But he also happens to be a huge Bucknell basketball fan, often traveling to Lewisburg, Pa., for games and catching them whenever they play Patriot League games in the area.

I had met with Bill earlier this week to interview him about the Nationals stadium, and we chatted briefly about the Bison's chances against Navy. He was not terribly optimistic, but little did we know that Bucknell would prevail in triple-overtime on a 40-foot shot at the buzzer.

After listening to the game on the radio (it wasn't televised ... if anyone has video of the game, let us know) I immediately e-mailed a note of congratulations to Bill, as he is the only Bucknell fan I know.

"Truly amazing," he wrote back. "I unfortunately went to the Wizards game tonight with a client to watch a 30-point defeat. Should have gone to Annapolis."

Doh!

UPDATE (Friday)

A reader e-mailed me the link to a video of the last few seconds of the game. I believe the footage was shot by WBAL Channel 11 up in Baltimore. I'm told the game may also be available on CSTV's Patriot League All-Access.
