ANALYSIS:
This website places Bucknell in the top 25% of all NCAA college basketball teams this year. Ranked 81st overall (out of 351) in our most recent ratings, they presently have a record of 26-9. Of the 10 schools in the Patriot League (average ranking 216.7), they're currently ranked as the best team in the conference.

Bucknell has a fairly effective defensive attack. Occupying the #79 slot in our defensive efficiency ratings, they will allow about 97 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO. Bucknell has been pretty good preventing teams from hitting shots in the paint. They are ranked 71st in the country in defensive near-proximity percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 56.2% of their attempts from close-up. And to capitalize on that weakness, this team will make AO shoot from the inside more than they usually would. Of AO's total field goals, a big portion of them (39.5%) will be from short-distance.

Bucknell plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 85th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 106 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Bucknell is superb at converting jumpers in between the three-point stripe and the low post. The squad is ranked ninth nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 41.8% of their attempts from those locations vs. AO. However, even with their high conversion rate on mid-range attempts, this team usually settles for shots from other spots on the floor. Only about 25.1% of their overall attempts vs. AO are from those in-between locations. Bucknell has also been fairly successful when shooting from the field. The squad is ranked 54th in the country in field goal percentage, making approximately 47.0% of their attempts vs. AO.

Bucknell is one of the more consistent teams in Division I (presently ranked 49th in consistency), so forecasting the outcomes of their future contests tends to be easier than the norm.
