ANALYSIS: Bucknell has a squad that most likely falls somewhere in the bottom half of NCAA Division I teams this year. Carrying a record of 14-20, they are currently rated #260 overall (out of 353) in All-Play Percentage this season. They are also ranked by this site as the #5 team (out of 10) in the Patriot League (average ranking 251.9).
Offense is not the strong suit when it comes to Bucknell. The team is ranked 269th in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 94 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Bucknell has some difficulty protecting the ball efficiently when in possession, which leads to some quick and easy baskets for the opposition. The team's rating for potential breakaway points allowed off of steals vs. AO is 13.47, which ranks 327th in D1. Bucknell is also one of the more inferior teams in the college game when it comes to maximizing opportunities to score on offense. The team is nationally ranked 305th in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of only 78.84 vs. AO.
Bucknell doesn't rate much better on defense than they do on offense. Allowing roughly 102 points for every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO, they are ranked #229 in the nation in defensive efficiency. Bucknell commits too many fouls, which leads to plentiful free throw attempts for the opposition. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 30.07 vs. AO, the squad is ranked #315 in the country in that category.
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.
