What to Know

Bucknell and Lafayette are an even 5-5 against one another since January of 2020, but not for long. Both teams will face off in a Patriot battle at 2:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Kirby Sports Center. Bucknell pulled off an upset win in their last outing, and are hoping to pull that off once more against the 2.5-point favorite Leopards.

Last Wednesday, the Bison strolled past the Terriers with points to spare, taking the game 73-57. That 16 points margin sets a new team best for Bucknell this season.

Meanwhile, Lafayette entered their tilt with Holy Cross with four consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with five. The Leopards managed a 72-68 win over the Crusaders on Wednesday.

The Bison's win bumped their record up to 6-12. As for the Leopards, their victory was their third straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 6-12.

Not only did both teams in this Saturday's game win their last matches, they also took care of their bettors and covered the spread. Looking ahead, Lafayette is expected to win a tight contest, barring any buzzer beaters. They might be worth a quick bet since they've covered the spread the last five times they've played.

Bucknell beat Lafayette 75-65 when the teams last played back in February of 2023. The rematch might be a little tougher for Bucknell since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
