The Bucknell Bison meet the Colgate Raiders in college basketball action from Cotterell Court on Saturday afternoon.

The Bucknell Bison will look to add to their 77-61 win over Lehigh last time out. John Meeks leads the Bison in scoring and rebounding with 21.5 PPG and 7.5 RPG while Andrew Funk has 13.5 PPG with 4.5 RPG. Xander Rice has 10.5 PPG with a team-high 3.5 APG to make up the trio of double-digit scorers for Bucknell coming into this matchup with Colgate while Miles Latimer has 9.5 PPG and Andre Screen has 7.8 PPG with 6.3 RPG this season. As a team, Bucknell is averaging 69.5 PPG on 42.5% shooting from the field, 31.9% from 3-point range and 74.6% from the foul line while giving up 73.7 PPG on 42.8% shooting from the field and 32.5% from 3-point range this season.

The Colgate Raiders will look to add to their current four-game winning streak after a 96-87 win over Holy Cross last time out. Jordan Burns leads Colgate in scoring and assists with 17 PPG with 6.2 APG while also posting 4.5 RPG. Jack Ferguson has 13.5 PPG while Nelly Cummings has 12.8 PPG and Tucker Richardson has 10.3 PPG with 4 APG to cap off the group of double-digit scorers for Colgate up to this point in the season. Keegan Record has 9.2 PPG with a team-high 8.5 RPG this season. As a team, Colgate is averaging 90  PPG on 51.5% shooting from the field, 42.9% from 3-point range and 75% from the foul line while giving up 66.3 PPG on 39.5% shooting from the field and 23.9% from 3-point range this season.

Bucknell is 8-17 ATS in their last 25 road games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall while the under is 9-1-1 in their last 11 games following a win. Colgate is 5-1 ATS in their last 6 home games and 7-3 ATS in their last 10 games overall while the under is 4-1 in their last 5 games following a win. The home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings between these two teams.

I know Bucknell’s been a kind team to us in the past, especially in past tournaments where the Bison covered against some of the country’s best. However that’s changed this season as this is just not the same Bucknell team. I think this is a lot of points but Colgate is playing well enough to cover so I’ll lay the points with Colgate in this one.

Chris Ruffolo's Free Pick: Colgate -12
