ANALYSIS:
Bucknell presently has one of the below-average teams in college basketball. They are ranked #304 (out of 363) in the most recent Haslametrics ratings and have a record of 12-20. They are also ranked by this site as the #8 team (out of 10) in the Patriot League (average ranking 265.7). With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.267 (which ranks 341st in the nation), Bucknell has faced some of the easiest opponents in all of college basketball.

Bucknell is not one of the most productive teams on offense. Scoring fewer than 98 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are rated at #287 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 13.60, which ranks 347th in D1. Bucknell also does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 20.95 vs. AO, they are 342nd in the overall rankings for that category.

Bucknell doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 107 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #266 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Bucknell does a pretty inadequate job to provide chances for themselves to score quickly off of steals. They're ranked #337 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.64 vs. AO. Bucknell also struggles on occasion to deny opponents opportunities to shoot from the floor. The team is ranked 319th in the nation in defensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 87.94 vs. AO.
