LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell senior John Meeks picked up one more postseason honor on Sunday when he was named to the PenFed Credit Union Patriot League Tournament All-Tournament Team. Meeks was outstanding in his two playoff appearances earlier this month, totaling 54 points, 16 rebounds and six assists in games against Lafayette and Colgate.
Meeks had one of the best performances in the entire tournament in Bucknell's 92-84 quarterfinal victory over Lafayette. He scored 23 points in the first half and finished with 31 points and 11 rebounds in the game. It was his third 30-point game in a span of four appearances, a first in team history.
Meeks then tallied a team-high 23 points in a semifinal loss to Colgate on Wednesday night.
A Third Team All-Patriot League selection for the second year in a row, Meeks played in six games during this abbreviated 2020-21 season, but he averaged an eye-popping 25.3 points per game while shooting 49.5 percent from the field, 38.5 percent from 3-point range and 85.1 percent from the free-throw line. He also averaged 6.8 rebounds per game.
Colgate defeated Loyola 85-72 on Sunday to win the Patriot League title. Jordan Burns was named Tournament MVP, and teammates Jack Ferguson, Tucker Richardson and Keegan Records also made the All-Tournament Team. Santi Aldama and Jaylin Andrews represented Loyola on the squad, while Meeks was the only member of the team not from one of the finalists.
