Game is just about to start on ESPN+. I really don't know anything about Niagara this year.

Bucknell actually looks like a decent team after a sluggish start. Taking advantage of mismatches inside, as they should, and looking in control the second half.

I agree. This is the kind of team that Bucknell should beat most of the time. Good win for the Bison.

Love how this team is not reliant on freshman. Veterans stepping up and improving in their roles. Meehan with a great touch with the Color Commentary

The boys looked good in this game, against a smaller team, yes, but a very quick team, fast up and down the floor and tight in their man to man defense.
Bucknell matched them in speed and quickness, and with a better bench, won each quarter by several pts. to coast in the latter part of this game.
Nice to see vets improve all round and the Freshman look good too. No Muscala on this team, no Zach Thomas, no Fouland, no Stephen Brown. But Xander Rice runs floor as well as any BU guard ever and the TEAM plays for the open man on offense.
How will they stack up vs. the Patriot League in the real season?
Davis more amiable with fans than we've ever seen before. That's good for him, the team and the sports program at BU.

Agree, a solid game and win for Bucknell. I have the warm fuzzies too but I fear there will be rough patches ahead. It will be interesting to see how this team handles adversity.
