Bucknell-Boston U game delayed due to over-inflated ball

Saturday's game between Bucknell and Boston University was delayed to an over-inflated ball.

As if the city of Boston hadn't had enough to deal with from Deflategate this week, Saturday's game between Bucknell and Boston University was delayed to an over-inflated basketball.

After dribbling the ball before the game's opening tip, a referee turned to some Bucknell players for a second opinion on the basketball's level of inflation. Eventually, the decision was made to replace the ball with another, slightly delaying tip-off.

Bucknell ended up winning 92-77 for its fourth straight win. The Bison (11-10, 6-2 Patriot) are tied with Colgate for first place in the Patriot League.
