ANALYSIS:
Not one of the better ball-clubs in college basketball, Bucknell should be a fairly easy win for most capable opponents. Their record this season is 12-20, and the club is ranked 308th overall (out of 363) in Haslametrics' most recent ratings. Of the 10 schools in the Patriot League (average ranking 265.3), they're currently ranked as our #8 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.268 (which ranks 341st nationally), Bucknell has had one of the cushiest slates in all of college basketball.

Offense is not the strong suit when it comes to Bucknell. The team is ranked 288th in offensive efficiency and scores fewer than 97 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Bucknell does an extremely poor job drawing fouls and getting to the free throw line. With a free throw attempt rate of just 20.21 vs. AO, they are 353rd in the overall rankings for that category. 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 13.67, which ranks 349th in D1.

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 #260 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 #322 in potential points off of breakaway steals with a rating of only 7.92 vs. AO. Bucknell also does a very lackluster job preventing opponents from draining threes. They rank 315th nationally in defensive three-point percentage, allowing AO to make 36.8% of their attempts from afar.
SORTABLE SCHEDULE / RESULTS:

In their other contests, Bucknell performs better than the norm 75% of the time.
Bucknell does better vs. clubs that do a nice job converting inside the paint. When playing squads that have an offensive near-proximity field goal percentage vs. AO greater than 57.30%, Bucknell performs above average 69% of the time. Against all other opponents, the team performs better than the norm 28% of the time.
