What to Know

We've got another exciting Patriot matchup on schedule as the Bucknell Bison and the American Eagles are set to tip at 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Bender Arena. The Bison are no doubt hoping to put an end to a six-game streak of away losses.

On Wednesday, Bucknell needed a bit of extra time to put away Lafayette. They skirted past the Leopards 65-62. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Bison have posted against the Leopards since February 19, 2022.

Among those leading the charge was Josh Bascoe, who went 8 for 15 en route to 23 points plus two blocks.

Meanwhile, American came up short against Boston U. on Wednesday and fell 60-54. The defeat unfortunately continues a disappointing trend for the Eagles in their matchups with the Terriers: they've now lost four in a row.

Matt Rogers put forth a good effort for the losing side as he went 7 for 13 en route to 22 points plus six rebounds. Less helpful for American was Matt Mayock's abysmal 0-5 three-point shooting.

Bucknell's victory bumped their record up to 6-10. As for American, their loss dropped their record down to 7-9.

Bucknell is hoping to beat the odds on Saturday, as the experts think they're headed for a loss. They haven't treated fans well this season (a 6-10 ensrues that), but at least they enjoy a 10-5-1 record against the spread.

Everything went Bucknell's way against American when the teams last played back in March of 2024, as Bucknell made off with an 80-57 win. Does Bucknell have another victory up their sleeve, or will American turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
