LEWISBURG, Pa. – Bucknell employed a balanced scoring attack with 10 players making at least one field goal, but the Bison were held back by a wide disparity in turnovers and fell 76-56 to first-place Colgate on Saturday afternoon in Patriot League men's basketball action at Sojka Pavilion.
Andre Screen recorded 10 points, six rebounds, and four blocked shots for the Bison (10-17, 3-11 PL), who played one of the league's top four teams for the fourth straight game and went 2-2 in that stretch. Tucker Richardson scored 16 of his 19 points in the first half, and Keegan Records scored 13 of his 17 in the second half to help the Raiders (19-8, 13-1 PL) break open a tight game.
Bucknell led for most of the game's first 17 minutes, with Colgate taking its first lead of the day on a Richardson 3-pointer with 2:57 let in the opening half. The Bison trailed 34-31 at the intermission, tied the game briefly on a Jack Forrest 3-pointer to open up the second-half scoring, and then saw Colgate take control with an 11-0 run.
Bucknell turned the ball over on four of its first six possessions in the second half and 18 times overall, compared to only nine miscues by Colgate. That led to a 22-2 edge in points off turnovers and a 15-0 margin in fastbreak points for the Raiders, who have now won two straight games by a combined 48 points on the heels of their only Patriot League loss of the season last Saturday at American.
Two straight buckets in the paint by records capped that 11-0 run and gave Colgate a 45-34 lead. Bucknell got as close as seven on Timmerman's fadeaway jumper, but Records scored the next five to make it 50-38 with 12:01 remaining. Later, a 9-0 run stretched the margin to 18, and Colgate would go on to lead by as many as 23 in the late stages.
Bucknell looked good early, holding Colgate to 1-for-7 shooting start while grabbing an early 8-2 lead. The Bison still led by six at 28-22 after a Ruot Bijiek 3-pointer followed by a Josh Adoh jumper off an inbounds play.
Colgate scored the next seven in a row to take its first lead of the day. Xander Rice put the Bison back in front with a 3-pointer, but a layup from Richardson and a 3-pointer from Ryan Moffatt gave the Raiders the three-point edge at halftime.
Bucknell shot 42.3 percent overall and went 7-for-20 from the 3-point arc. Rice and Forrest scored eight points apiece for the Bison, who also received 22 points from the bench. Freshman Josh Fulton played a strong 13 minutes, collecting three points, a rebound, a steal, and four assists.
Richardson and Records were Colgate's only two double-digit scorers. Richardson added four assists and five steals to his game-high 19 points. The Raiders finished at an even 50 percent from the field, including a 7-for-14 showing from the arc.
The Bison now have a short turnaround before hosting American on Monday. Bucknell defeated the Eagles 78-71 at Bender Arena on Feb. 1.
