Bucknell @ Lehigh

Current Records: Bucknell 6-20; Lehigh 9-17

What to Know

After a two-game homestand, the Bucknell Bison will be on the road. Bucknell and the Lehigh Mountain Hawks will face off in a Patriot battle at 7 p.m. ET Monday at Stabler Arena. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W.'

The Bison were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap this past Saturday as they fell 78-72 to the Holy Cross Crusaders. Despite the defeat, Bucknell got a solid performance out of guard Xander Rice, who had 21 points.

Lehigh lost a heartbreaker to the Lafayette Leopards when they met last February, and they left with a heavy heart again this past Saturday. Lehigh fell just short of Lafayette by a score of 73-69. Despite the loss, the Mountain Hawks had strong showings from guard Marques Wilson, who had 15 points, and guard Jake Betlow, who had 15 points.

The losses put the Bison at 6-20 and Lehigh at 9-17. A couple stats to keep an eye on: Bucknell is stumbling into the matchup with the 356th fewest takeaways in college basketball, having accrued only 9.4 on average. Lehighs have had an even harder time: they are worst in college basketball in takeaways, with only ten on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
