ABOUT BUCKNELL

The Bison are coming off a 66-65 win over Presbyterian, Monday, in the Ocean Bracket semifinals. Andre Screen recorded 17 points and 12 rebounds and hit the go-ahead free throw with 5.9 seconds left. Bucknell never trailed in the game and led by as many as 15 points in the first half, but Presbyterian made a run late in the first half, and the game was played within a two-possession margin for most of the second half. The Blue Hose finally tied the game for the first time on a shot-clock-beating 3-pointer with 39 seconds remaining. The Bison ran down most of the clock before Xander Rice had a jumper rim out. Screen grabbed the offensive rebound and was fouled going back up, and he split the two charity tosses with 5.9 seconds left. Rice matched Screen with 17 points. Ian Motta added eight, and Ruot Bijiek finished with seven points and three rebounds.
