ANALYSIS:
They're far from the worst of the worst, but Bucknell should not be a terribly frightening opponent for most clubs. They are ranked #263 (out of 357) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 5-7. They are also ranked by this site as the #9 team (out of 10) in the Patriot League (average ranking 207.8).

Bucknell will certainly not be one of the stingier defenses opponents will encounter. Allowing more than 107 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked down at #316 in defensive efficiency. Bucknell is one of the very worst teams in the game when it comes to preventing opponents from scoring off of offensive rebounds. The team allows AO to convert 7.9% of all second-chance opportunities (fourth from the bottom nationally), and with a rating of 16.84, they're eighth from the bottom in potential points surrendered off of the offensive boards as well. Bucknell also allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked 335th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 86.52 vs. AO. If Bucknell does have a bright spot on defense, it would have to be their success stopping opponents from converting from locations near the basket. AO will convert just 53.8% of their near-proximity field goal attempts, and the team ranks 38th-best in the country in that category as a result.

Though they rate better on offense than they do on defense, Bucknell still isn't one of the more capable offensive teams in college hoops. Scoring roughly 96 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #229 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Bucknell happens to be one of the very worst in the game when it comes to maximizing the number of shot attempts they get off from the floor. The team is nationally ranked sixth from the bottom in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 76.19 vs. AO. Bucknell also tends to be very careless with the ball and allows far too many breakaway opportunities off of their own turnovers. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 14.69, which ranks 344th in D1. If Bucknell does have a strength offensively, it would have to be the team's outstanding shooting at the charity stripe. The squad makes 77.4% of their free throw attempts, which ranks #27 in Division I.
