Bucknell Bison
Bucknell has three home losses on the resume already, which is both unusual and potentially worrying for its tournament resume, if the Bison is able to win the Patriot League.
It has some impressive road wins, though, with wins at St. Bonaventure, Vermont and La Salle. The Bison put up ninety-two on the Explorers a week from Wednesday, the last time they were in action.

A big reason for two of Bucknell’s early losses was the absence of senior center Nate Sestina, who has returned to average a team-leading seventeen points per game in the first portion of the season.
Sestina is shooting 64 percent from two and 40 from three, in addition to grabbing nine rebounds per game. Like most Bucknell bigs throughout the years, he takes care of the ball and averages fewer than two turnovers per game.
Ohio State Buckeyes
But Ohio State is more than a worthy opponent for Bucknell. OSU has just one loss and has started undefeated in the Big Ten with a twenty-point win over Minnesota and a ten-point defeat of Illinois.
Kaleb Wesson will matchup with Sestina. Wesson is OSU’s leading big man with over fourteen points and six rebounds per. He’s a little more versatile than Sestina but isn’t something the Bucknell big man can’t handle. It will be an excellent matchup between two technical and fundamentally-sound big men.

It’s going to be an excellent game as a whole. Both teams play great basketball with good coaches. Ohio State limits opponents just 27 percent from three-point land and less than 37 percent from the field as a whole. Those are elite defensive numbers.
