ANALYSIS: Bucknell presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. They are ranked #329 (out of 358) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 9-23. They are also ranked by this site as the #8 team (out of 10) in the Patriot League (average ranking 275.3).
Bucknell has one of the most inept defenses in the NCAA. Allowing about 114 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they're ranked way down at #356 in defensive efficiency. Bucknell allows the opposition to get off far too many shots from the floor. The team is ranked fourth from the bottom in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 89.87 vs. AO. Bucknell is also extremely underskilled to force steals that turn into quick and easy points. They're ranked #349 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 6.92 vs. AO.
Even though the team ranks considerably higher in offensive efficiency, Bucknell isn't a powerhouse on that end of the floor either. Scoring roughly 97 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #250 in the nation in offensive efficiency. Bucknell 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 17.01, which ranks last in D1. Bucknell also poses no threat whatsoever to grab rebounds off their own misses. Against AO, the ball-club has a rating of 9.66 in potential points scored off of second chances (338th nationally), and they convert just 3.3% of their second-chance opportunities (ranked 326th) as well. Bucknell lastly 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 337th in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 79.40 vs. AO.
Projections are based on present-day ratings. Stars indicate games played at a neutral location. Game efficiencies only account for data before a contest has gone analytically final and are adjusted to extract home-court advantage.
