ANALYSIS:
Bucknell has a fairly solid squad that likely falls within the top quartile of all teams in college basketball this year. Their record this season is 26-9, and the club is ranked 75th overall (out of 351) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. Of the 10 schools in the Patriot League (average ranking 214.8), they're currently ranked as the best team in the conference.

Bucknell will mainly try to find success through their defense. They are ranked 73rd in defensive efficiency and allow fewer than 97 points every 100 possessions vs. AO. Bucknell has been fairly decent in preventing teams from draining shots from between the three-point stripe and the low post. They're ranked 64th in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 33.8% of their attempts from that distance.

Bucknell plays at about the same level on offense as they do on defense. The team ranks 78th nationally in offensive efficiency, scoring about 107 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 seventh nationally in mid-range field goal percentage, making about 42.1% 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 25.4% of their overall attempts vs. AO are from those in-between locations. The squad likewise lands in the top-50 in overall offensive field goal percentage, making good on about 47.2% of their total attempts vs. AO. Bucknell has also been generally quite good when shooting the three-pointer. They're ranked 59th nationally in three-point field goal percentage and make about 37.6% of their attempts from there vs. AO.
