What to Know

The Colgate Raiders and the Bucknell Bison will face off in a Patriot clash at 7 p.m. ET Jan. 19 at Sojka Pavilion. The Raiders will be strutting in after a victory while Bucknell will be stumbling in from a defeat.

Colgate didn't have too much trouble with the Navy Midshipmen on the road last week as they won 69-50.

Meanwhile, Bucknell came up short against the American Eagles on Sunday, falling 63-55. The top scorer for Bucknell was guard Andrew Funk (20 points).

Colgate is the favorite in this one, with an expected 9-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 2-6-1 against the spread when favored.

The Raiders are now 6-10 while the Bison sit at 3-15. A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Colgate is 30th worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only 11.1 on average. Bucknell has experienced some struggles of their own as they are stumbling into the matchup with the 358th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 9.1 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
