COMPLETE ALL-PATRIOT LEAGUE TEAMS
LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell junior forward John Meeks earned his first career all-conference citation on Monday, when he was named to the All-Patriot League Third Team.
Meeks began the season as the team's sixth man before joining the starting lineup in late December. He has been the team's leading scorer for much of the season and now ranks second to Jimmy Sotos by a tenth of a point. Meeks is averaging 11.6 points per game while shooting 44.6 percent from the field, 34.9 percent from 3-point range, and 80.3 percent from the foul line.
The Burlington, N.C., native leads the Bison in rebounding at 5.4 per game, a figure that has been on the rise of late. He has logged 7.2 boards over his last nine outings.
Meeks produced double-doubles against Lehigh and Loyola, and he just missed in the Patriot League opener at Army, when he collected a career-high 22 points with nine rebounds.
Bucknell is the No. 7 seed in the Patriot League Tournament and will begin the postseason on Tuesday night at home against Holy Cross.
