NCAA/NIT Tournament Triumphs Bucknell has made five NCAA Tournament appearances (1987, 1989, 2005, 2006, 2011). In 2005, the Bison became the first Patriot League team ever to win an NCAA Tournament game, upsetting third-seeded Kansas 64-63 in Oklahoma City. One year later, Bucknell repeated the feat, knocking out Arkansas 59-55. Bucknell was a No. 9 seed in the tournament in 2006, the highest seeding ever for a Patriot League team. In 2005, the Bison were eliminated in the second round by Wisconsin, 71-62, in a game Bucknell led with nine minutes to play. Top-seeded Memphis defeated Bucknell 72-56 in round two in 2006. In 2011, the Bison lost their first game to eventual national champion Connecticut. Bucknell won another postseason game in 2012, defeating top-seeded Arizona in the first round of the NIT. The Bison lost a close game at Nevada in the second round.

A three-point home win over Holy Cross in the rematch at Sojka Pavilion highlighted the run. A year after posting an unprecedented 14-0 Patriot League record, the Bison went 13-1 last season and tied for the PL regular-season title with Holy Cross. The Crusaders were awarded the No. 1 seed and pivotal home-court advantage in the Patriot League Tournament based on the league’s final tiebreaker, the RPI. Bucknell opened postseason play at home with victories over Navy and Army by an average margin of 20 points. That set the stage for a third straight Bucknell-Holy Cross showdown for the Patriot League title. Bucknell won at the Hart Center in 2005 and at Sojka Pavilion in 2006, but this time it was the Crusaders who prevailed, 74-66. Seven busloads of orange-clad Bison fans invaded Worcester, Mass., and watched their team erase all of a 19-point second-half deficit, but Holy Cross had enough down the stretch. Despite 22 victories and the PL regular-season co-championship, Bucknell was not selected for an atlarge berth to either the NCAA Tournament or NIT. That brought an end to the brilliant careers of Abe Badmus, Donald Brown and Chris McNaughton, who graduated as the program’s all-time winningest senior class with 87 victories. McNaughton, who ranked sixth on Bucknell’s career scoring list (second among centers), earned both First Team All-Patriot League and Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors for the third year in a row. Brown, despite missing seven games with a broken hand near the end of a terrific senior season, earned Second Team honors.

Patriot League Success Bucknell has more Patriot League victories (200) than any other program. Bucknell won back-to-back Patriot League Tournament titles in 2005 & 2006, and then won it again in 2011. In 2006 the Bison went 14-0 in Patriot League play, the first unbeaten mark in league history. In 1993, 2007 and 2011, they went 13-1 in the PL. Bucknell is 69-13 against Patriot League foes at Sojka Pavilion. The Bison went unbeaten at home in league play four straight years (2004-07) and racked up a record 38-game conference winning streak at home. The Bison have advanced to the Patriot League Tournament semifinals 17 times in 22 seasons, and they have played in the championship game nine times. The men’s basketball program has contributed to Bucknell winning the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup — the annual all-sports title — 17 times in the 22-year history of the league, including 13 of the last 15 years. G.W. Boon helps cut down the net in 2011.

Bison in the Pros
More than a dozen Bucknell graduates have continued their hoops careers overseas in recent years. The most prominent of those was J.R. Holden '98, who retired at the end of the 2011 season after a terrific career as the point guard for European powerhouse CSKA Moscow. Holden also started for the Russian National Team, with which he competed at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing after a stunning victory over Spain in the 2007 European Championship. Holden's buzzer-beater gave the Russians the Euro title. Here are some other former Bison who have played in the pro ranks in recent years:
ABE BADMUS ‘07 — Badmus played last season with Cetaf in Brazil. He has also played in Germany and with the Nigerian national squad. Bryan Bailey ’02 — Has carved out a nice European career and in 2012-13 is back in Germany with BBC Bayreuth. He has also played in Poland, The Netherlands and Bosnia. G.W. BOON ‘11 — Boon’s entry into the pro ranks was delayed due to a torn Achilles tendon suffered while training just after graduation, but in 2012 he signed with BC Prievidza in Slovakia. Donald Brown ’07 — Played a season for U.M.F. Tindastoll in Iceland, where he averaged better than 20 points per game. He suffered an injury that has since kept him out of action. BRYAN COHEN ‘12 — The three-time Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year signed with Maccabi Haifa in Israel’s first division, where he will begin his pro career in 2012-13. John Griffin ’08 — Was named league MVP in his debut season with the Proveo Merlins Crailsheim in Germany in 2008-09, averaging a league-best 20.3 points and 3.5 assists per game before going down with a knee injury late in the year. Griffin worked for the NBA’s Indiana Pacers in 2010-11, and last year he returned to the pro ranks with Inter Bratislava in Slovakia. Boakai Lalugba ’03 — Has been one of the better players in France in recent years and is now back in Sweden in his second year with KFUM Jamtland. He had previously played in Sweden, Finland and briefly in the USBL. Charles Lee ‘06 — Had a very good 2008-09 season with Goettingen in the top German division after playing one year each in Belgium and Israel. Lee averaged 13.1 points and 4.4 rebounds while leading his upstart team to a runner-up finish in the Bundesliga. In 2009-10, he joined another top German club, the Artland Dragons. Lee played in two NBA Summer League sessions with the San Antonio Spurs and was in veterans training camp in ’06. He is now back at Bucknell as an assistant coach. Chris McNaughton ’07 — McNaughton has been a solid player in the German Bundesliga, and this season he has signed with another top-division club, s.Oliver Baskets Wuerzburg. A German native, McNaughton had a big summer in 2010, as he made the German national team and saw time at the FIBA World Championships in Turkey. McNaughton previously spent two seasons playing in Spain. DARRYL SHAZIER ‘11 — After graduating in 2011, Shazier earned a Victory Scholarship through United States Northern Ireland (USNI) Sport, where he played with the Ulster Elks. Representing Northern Ireland at the BUCS Home Nations tournament, Shazier scored 62 points in a game against Wales! Davorin Skornik ‘04 — After playing in Italy in 2011, Skornik returned to his native Slovenia last year with Slovenske Konjice. He has also made stops in Switzerland and Hungary.
Many other Bucknellians have enjoyed professional success as well, including all-time leading scorer Al Leslie ‘81, who was drafted by the NBA’s Indiana Pacers and Patrick King ‘92, who had a long and successful career in Germany and is now an agent in that country.

Sojka Pavilion: The Place to Be Bucknell’s recent hoops success has captured the imagination of the campus and surrounding communities, so much so that the Bison have attracted one of the best home-court advantages in the nation. Some Sojka facts: Sojka Pavilion, Bucknell’s home since 2003, has attracted frequent sellout crowds, and the Bison have led the Patriot League in attendance in each of the last seven seasons. Bucknell crowds are led by “The Sojka Psychos” student section, clad in all orange behind both baskets. The spirited crowds have helped the Bison to an 98-32 record in Sojka Pavilion, including a 69-13 mark against Patriot League competition. Bucknell had a 38-game home winning streak against Patriot League foes that spanned five seasons. Major-conference foes Villanova and Wake Forest have visited Sojka Pavilion in recent years. The Villanova game attracted a standing-room-only crowd of 4,433, which remains the largest ever to see a basketball game on the Bucknell campus. Wake Forest was the first ACC team ever to play at Bucknell. In 2013-14, the Bison will host Penn State at Sojka Pavilion. Twenty-four nationally televised games have been aired from Sojka Pavilion, including the ESPN2 telecasts of the 2006 and 2011 Patriot League championship games. Bucknell will play 12 regular-season home games in 2012-13. Among the visitors to Sojka Pavilion will be traditional mid-major powers George Mason, Kent State and La Salle. A total of 378,559 fans have watched men’s basketball games at Sojka so far.

First-Class Training Facilities Bucknell men’s basketball student-athletes have at their disposal practice and training facilities that are at the head of their class. On non-game days, Sojka Pavilion transforms into a multi-purpose practice court. The retractable grandstands allow for as many as eight baskets to be put into use, while at the same time letting the team practice every day on its home game floor. The men’s basketball team has its own private, newly refurbished locker room, featuring a large-screen television and state-of-the-art video technology for team meetings and film study. The interior decoration, including installation of hard maple lockers and stools, was updated in 2007-08. As part of the 10-year-old Langone Athletics & Recreation Center complex, the spacious Berger Family Weight Room includes varsity-only space for the Bison teams to train under the tutelage of full-time strength & conditioning coach Jerry Shreck and his staff. Also under the Langone Athletics & Recreation Center roof is a state-of-the art Sports Medicine Center that features numerous treatment modalities, including electric stimulation, ultrasound, hydrotherapy and cryotherapy. The hallmark of the complex is its two hydrotherapy tubs (one hot and one cold). Each can hold between 6-10 athletes.

Bucknell Bison Athletics
A National Model in Promoting the Scholar-Athlete Ideal Bucknell Athletics is first and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national leader when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their first priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place. BUCKNELL BISON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY: In 2011-12, the Department of Athletics launched the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. As part of a Patriot League-wide leadership initiative, this program is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. The Leadership Academy features programming and instruction that bridge theory, development and real experiences in an interactive learning environment. Through this endeavor, team leaders can enhance their impact on their teammates’ and their program’s performance immediately and for years to come. FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative (FAR) is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Bucknell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Mitch Chernin, Professor of Biology. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which affords them opportunities to enjoy the full range of collegiate experiences available to students generally. SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff, including practice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is introduced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena. ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfitted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer, VCR and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice. In addition, the Department of Athletics owns a number of laptop computers that may be signed out by student-athletes for use on away trips. STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC): Representatives from each varsity team comprise the SAAC, which is designed to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student-athlete image. The Committee is an invaluable resource for promoting communication between athletics administration and student-athletes; promoting communication between athletics and campus-wide administration; providing feedback and insight, as well as soliciting responses into department issues and proposed NCAA legislation; building a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams; organizing community service projects and efforts; creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees; serving as a collective voice of campus student-athletes; and disseminating information to the student-athlete body.

“ONE OF THE BEST SMALL TOWNS IN AMERICA”
Lewisburg, Pennsylvania
Bucknell’s hilltop campus slopes into Victorian Lewisburg, population roughly 6,000, a town in which historic preservationists have influence. Lewisburg enjoys ornamental vanities that are not part of modern architecture. Gingerbread porches, carved wooden doors and three-globed street lights that make this town memorable. Historical roots are important in Lewisburg. The town celebrates the holidays with the annual Victorian Holiday Parade and exhibits at the Packwood House Museum and the Slifer House Museum. Its many historical sites include an Underground Railroad station. A weekly market brings Amish farmers to town in horse-drawn wagons. Lewisburg is ranked 15th in the nation in the book, The 100 Best Small Towns in America, written by Norman Crampton. The town earned this ranking by scoring high in areas such as the number of physicians per 100,000, the percentage of college-educated residents, the lowest number of serious crimes, and its location near state parks as well as being host to an institution of higher learning. The borough of Lewisburg began its early life as “Derrstown” named for its settler, landowner, and miller Ludwig Derr. While the date remains obscure, the historians point out that in English, the German name for Ludwig is Lewis. The town’s growth from 1785 until well into the 19th century was slow due to the lack of transportation, until a ferry was built to carry wagons across the Susquehanna River and a canal was completed in 1833. Lewisburg, surveyed in 1769, was not officially founded by Ludwig Derr until 1785. The borough was incorporated on March 31, 1812. Located on the Susquehanna, it has benefited with every development in transportation: turnpike, canal, railroad and now, highways. Enhanced by the chartering of Bucknell University on February 5, 1846, and the seating of the county government on October 9, 1855, the community expanded its development past Fifth Street to what is now Route 15. Most of the builders of this community are protected through historic district regulation. In addition to Bucknell, the Lewisburg Federal Prison System and Evangelical Community Hospital enhance the area’s financial stability. Education has always played a primary part in Lewisburg’s social society. As early as 1790 the basics were taught in private homes. In 1805 the “Log Cabin Academy” was built. In 1835 three new schools were added, while the present system consists of two elementary schools, a middle school — which was recently named the top middle school in the state — and a high school. Sixty-five percent of Lewisburg’s high school graduates go on to college. For more on Lewisburg, please visit the Lewisburg Downtown Partnership Web site at www.lewisburgpa.com.

bucknell no. 1 in salary potential among u.s. liberal arts colleges Graduates of Bucknell University have the highest earning potential in the nation, a research survey revealed in July 2008. The 2008 Education and Salary Report, prepared and released by Seattle-based PayScale Inc., named Bucknell graduates No. 1 among graduates of top U.S. liberal arts colleges by salary potential. The top liberal arts college category showed that the starting median salary for Bucknell graduates was $54,100, while the mid-career median salary was $110,000. Bucknell was followed by Colgate University at $52,800 and $108,000 and Amherst at $54,500 and $107,000, respectively. The salary report, the first issued by the company, also ranked Bucknell 13th among all Northeastern colleges and universities for salary potential. Dartmouth College, Princeton University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale University, and Harvard University were Nos. 1-5, respectively. Except for Cooper Union (No. 9), Bucknell was the only predominantly undergraduate institution in the top 14 in this category. National Reputation A number of recent reports have served to underscore Bucknell’s national reputation: • In 2007, The Washington Monthly ranked Bucknell No. 7 among the best liberal arts colleges in the country when it comes to fostering research and promoting an ethic of service and social mobility. • In 2008, the Peace Corps listed Bucknell at No. 6 on its top 25 list of small colleges and universities producing Peace Corps Volunteers. • In 2008, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine rated Bucknell as the 11th best value in private liberal arts colleges.

jay wright leads ‘nova to ‘09 final four
holden becomes bucknell’s 4th olympian
Under the direction of 1983 Bucknell graduate Jay Wright, the Villanova men’s basketball team has returned to national prominence. Since arriving at Villanova in 2001, Wright helped the Wildcats reach a number of milestones, including a then-school-record 28 wins in 2005-06, a Big East regular-season title, a first-ever No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament and an Elite Eight trip in 2006. All of that was surpassed in March 2009, however, when Wright led his team into the Final Four at Ford Field in Detroit. Wright was a three-year letterman in basketball at Bucknell, where he received the Kribbs Award as team MVP in 1981-82 and the Musser Award for leadership in 1982-83. Wright was a freshman at Bucknell when former Bison coach Pat Flannery was a senior, and the two were publicly reunited in December 2005 when Wright brought his fourth-ranked Wildcats to Sojka Pavilion to play in front of the largest crowd in school history. Villanova prevailed, 79-60. Before arriving at Villanova in 2001, Wright was head coach at Hofstra for seven seasons, where he led the Pride to a pair of America East titles. In August 2005 he served as head coach of the gold medal-winning U.S. team at the World University Games in Turkey. Wright was named Former Bison coach Pat USA Basketball Co-Developmental Coach of the Flannery (L) with Jay Wright Year after leading the U.S. to an 8-0 record.
Another unlikely chapter in the amazing basketball story of J.R. Holden unfolded in the summer of 2008, when the Pittsburgh native and 1998 Bucknell graduate suited up for Team Russia at the Olympic Games in Beijing. Holden’s underdog career path has been well-documented. First, he transformed himself from a lightly recruited guard into a 1,300-point scorer and a twotime First Team All-Patriot League selection at the Division I level. Holden has had a successful and lucrative overseas career that has taken him to Latvia, Belgium, Greece and Russia. He became one of the top stars in European basketball, where he led the powerful CSKA Moscow team to the 2006 Euroleague title, and as a naturalized Russian citizen, he nailed the game-winning jumper to give Russia the Eurobasket 2007 title and a berth in the Olympics. In Beijing he started all five games and averaged 38.6 minutes, 17.6 points and 4.8 assists per game. In his Olympic debut, he had 19 points in Russia’s victory over Iran, then he added five points against Croatia, 25 against Lithuania, 20 against Australia and 19 against Argentina. Among all Olympians in pool play, he was the No. 5 scorer, and he also ranked No. 1 in minutes played and tied for third in assists. Holden became Bucknell’s fourth Olympian. The first was Dave Morley, who swam for his native Bahamas in the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles. Cindy Ryder Matthes ‘88 competed for Team USA in rowing at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona, while rower Brett Wilkinson ‘98 was also a J.R. Holden member of Team USA at the 2004 Games in Athens.

The 2012-13 Bison
2012-13 Season Outlook
some questions to be resolved, but bison appear armed for another postseason chase in 2012-13 Forgive the college basketball writers if their 2012-13 Bucknell season preview stories look remarkably like last year’s version. For the second season in a row, the Bison return four starters from a 25-win, postseason team, and all four of those returning starters are all-star caliber players. For the second season in a row, replacing that one graduation loss is going to extraordinarily difficult, yet critical to their success. And for the second year in a row, expectations are sky high in Lewisburg. The lone difference between last preseason and this one: a year ago Bucknell was the marked team coming off a Patriot League championship and NCAA appearance. Now it is Lehigh’s turn to wear the bulls-eye, as the Mountain Hawks swiped the league tournament title from Bucknell after the Bison finished first in the regular season. Lehigh and Bucknell both won postseason games last season — the Bison knocked off topseeded Arizona in the NIT and Lehigh upset Duke in the NCAA Tournament — and both teams are predicted to duel it out for the title once again this winter. They will certainly face some stiff competition from the rest of the league, but fans would be well-advised to mark the two Bucknell-Lehigh dates on the calendar as appointment viewing. For the Bison, all eyes will be on Mike Muscala, who enters his senior year on most pundits’ lists of the top centers in the nation. CBS Sports named the 6’11” Muscala No. 80 on its list of top college players in the nation, regardless of position. Muscala has been a standout player since day one at Bucknell and was the Patriot League Player of the Year as a sophomore, but last year was his best yet. He averaged 17.0 points and 9.1 rebounds, both career highs, and was simply incredible in the postseason. But one of Bucknell’s strengths is its depth, which means that teams will not be able to narrow their focus only on Muscala. Senior Joe Willman has become a major weapon at the 4 spot with his mid-range shooting, ability to drive the ball and his improved post game. Senior Bryson Johnson is one of the nation’s deadliest 3-point shooters, and like Muscala, has already surpassed the 1,000-point plateau with a year still to play. Junior Cameron Ayers is a steady, versatile 6-5 guard who can both score and defend. Willman, Ayers and Johnson have all earned All-Patriot League honors in their careers, and they are more than just secondary players to Muscala.
Mike Muscala
Bucknell also returns last year’s point-guard platoon of junior Ryan Hill and sophomore Steven Kaspar. Senior Brian Fitzpatrick was a terrific find as the first big man off the bench in his first year of eligibility after transferring from Penn. Junior Ben Brackney and sophomore Joshea Singleton also gave the Bison quality minutes off the bench last year, and freshmen Dom Hoffman, Ryan Frazier and Chris Hass all have the potential to contribute right away in 2012-13. Despite the wealth of talent seemingly at his disposal, fifth-year head coach Dave Paulsen does come into the new year with concerns, many of them centered around that one lost starter in three-time Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year Bryan Cohen. Paulsen was always comforted by the notion that in any scouting session, task No. 1 was a given: stick Cohen on the other team’s best scorer. Cohen was a defensive force who had success marking all of the league’s top offensive players. Nobody has been able to shut down Lehigh star C.J. McCollum, but Cohen came the closest of anyone, holding the 22-ppg scorer to 14 and 15 points in the two regular-season meetings last year. The league’s No. 2 scorer, American’s Charles Hinkle (18.4 ppg), scored 12 and 3 points in the two matchups with Cohen. While Paulsen has called Cohen the best defensive player he has ever coached, the key to Bucknell’s defensive success over the last two seasons has been excellent team chemistry. He will be looking for more of the same this year, although he wants to find that starting point, a stopper who can funnel those quick, electric guards into the teeth of the defense. “Defense is a huge concern for me,” said Paulsen, who has won the last two Patriot League Coach of the Year awards. “Bryan Cohen made life so much easier. We might not have a guy quite that good coming back — not many teams do — but we have some guys that have really improved at the defensive end. Can they do it consistently day in and day out? That’s what we have to find out. Our mantra is ‘if you can guard, you can play.’” This time last year, Paulsen fretted over the point guard position following the loss of First Team All-Patriot Leaguer Darryl Shazier after the 2010-11 championship season. No single player matched Shazier’s production, but the Bison made up for it by committee and came through with another 25-win season. It will be have to be a similar
Joe Willman story on defense this season. While Hill and Kaspar did emerge as quality point guards last season, Paulsen is looking for both players to take those proverbial next steps this year. “Looking back on it, Ryan and Steven both had great years last year given their youth and inexperience,” said Paulsen. “But it’s no secret that we really had to simplify the position for both of them last year. That will not happen this year. We need the full package from both of them. Both have come back in great shape both mentally and physically, and I am confident that will happen.” Hill did not join the starting lineup until New Year’s Eve last season, but starting with that game against Cornell, the Bison proceeded to win their next 12 games in a row. Hill never relinquished his spot, and the team went 17-4 with him as a starter. He was not a high scorer, averaging 2.2 ppg while shooting just under 40 percent from the field, but he had a good assist-to-turnover ratio (59-33) and kept teams honest with an occasional drive to the basket. “Ryan’s growth as a person, as a student and as a player was as significant as anyone I’ve ever coached,” said Paulsen. “It has been fun to watch him develop. He kept competing in the early part of last year when he wasn’t playing as much, and then he made the most of the opportunity when he got it. At the end of the year he hit the wall a little bit and stopped attacking. When you look at the talent in our lineup, point guard is going to be our fifth scoring option, but we still need them to be aggressive fifth options. In our preseason workouts, Ryan is playing at the highest level he’s ever played, and we need that to continue into the season.” Kaspar gave the Bison quality minutes at point guard as a freshman a year ago, and he was a definite change of pace from Hill. While Hill was steady and consistent and rarely made a mistake, Kaspar would often come in playing in a more daring gear, which led to some spectacular plays but also a higher turnover rate. Kaspar averaged 16.5 minutes per game last season — the exact same number as Hill — and he ranked second on the team with 80 assists but also had 47 turnovers. Kaspar showed off his ability to drive to the basket and either finish himself of make a last-

2012-13 Season Outlook second dish. His next step will be to improve his shooting, both from the 3-point arc and the freethrow line, where he struggled as a rookie. “All things considered, Steven had a very good freshman year,” said Paulsen. “Early on he had some ‘wow’ moments, and then the league caught up to him a bit. But to his credit, he got some things figured out and by the end of the year he had his swagger back again. With the exception of freethrow percentage, his numbers are almost the same as Darryl Shazier’s freshman stats. Steven is stronger and more confident now. He has improved his ability to see the floor and attack. He has made progress and is much-improved from this time last year.” The addition of Frazier gives Bucknell a third option at the point, and Paulsen would not be surprised if the freshman from the Salisbury School in Connecticut finds minutes, especially since defense is his strength as he enters college. “Ryan has a chance to be a terrific point guard,” said Paulsen. “He has those intangible leadership skills. He has a dynamic personality and is just a fun person to be around. He is a nice kid, but he plays with an edge. He is a good shooter, and he has a chance to be a great defender. Ryan has a bright future.” Off the ball, Johnson and Ayers give Bucknell two of the best deep shooters around. Johnson canned a school-record 99 3-pointers as a sophomore while shooting 45.6 percent from the arc, and then he hit 84 more treys last year. Johnson can become Bucknell’s all-time leading 3-point shooter with 44 this season. More than just a compiler of numbers, Johnson has hit some critical, pressure shots throughout his career. He canned two threes in the final minute of last year’s Patriot League championship game to give the Bison a possession to tie or win in the closing seconds, and his 1,000th career point came on an absolute dagger from 24 feet away that stretched a four-point lead to seven in the last minute of the NIT win at Arizona. Johnson averaged 9.3 ppg last year after scoring 11.7 ppg as a sophomore. Beyond his scoring ability, Johnson is a superb team captain, a true team leader, an Academic All-Patriot Leaguer and one of the most selfless players in the Bison locker room. At the beginning of last season, Ayers was starting at the point and Johnson at the two-guard spot. But when Paulsen felt it was time to let Kaspar and Hill, the natural point guards, take over that position, that meant that Johnson, an All-Patriot League selection the previous year, would have to go to the bench. Not only did he not balk at the reserve role, he thrived as the team’s Sixth Man and gave Bucknell a major weapon coming off the bench. “Bryson Johnson simply embodies the Bucknell student-athlete,” raved Paulsen. “There has been a ton of attention on Mike Muscala, and deservedly so, but without question the most important recruit for me in my tenure here has been Bryson in terms of the way he has shaped our program from the inside out. He immediately brought passion and work ethic and leadership skills, and it has just been contagious. Those things have been every bit as important to our program as any jump shot he has made. He is what we want our program to be about, and he is as instrumental in our progress as anyone. His unbridled passion probably goes unnoticed to most observers, but certainly not to me, and certainly not to his teammates. On top of that, he is the best shooter I’ve ever seen. Any time he misses I’m stunned. And he is starting to become a better-than-average defender. I didn’t think I would be able to say that four years ago, but he has worked tirelessly on his body and conditioning, and now he is in position to be more than just a shooter.”
Cameron Ayers While Johnson ranked second in the Patriot League in made 3-pointers last season, Ayers was No. 1 in 3-point percentage at .468 (59-126). A steady, consistent influence who led the squad in minutes played, Ayers can effectively play all three of the guard positions, and he is also one of the team’s best defenders. He averaged 11.1 ppg while starting all 35 games en route to Second Team All-Patriot League honors. “Cam is one of the more intelligent players I have coached, and he took a nice step forward last year,” said Paulsen. “Similar to Joe Willman, Cam can blend in a lot of different ways. But now we want him to blend a little less. We want him to play with a swagger and an edge, and if he can, he has the potential to be a First Team All-Patriot League player. We are going to play through Mike, but we need Cam to be aggressive and in attack mode. I thought he was great through the first round of Patriot League play last year. Then he kind of tailed off a bit, but he bounced back with two terrific performances in the NIT. The big challenge for Cam, and I don’t think it is fair to label him as the heir apparent to Bryan Cohen, but we need him to be our best player on defense for about 20 minutes per game. That is hard, and it takes a toll on your body, but he will be challenged to do that.” Brackney made a major leap as a sophomore last season. He played in 29 games off the bench and shot 51.5 percent from 3-point range, 49.2 percent overall. Among Bucknell’s top nine rotation players, Brackney’s points-per-minute figure (.396) was second on the team behind only Muscala. While his natural position is the 3 spot, he also saw some time at the 4 when the Bison went to a smaller lineup. “Given his role, Ben was incredibly productive and efficient last season,” said Paulsen. “He can hit open shots and tough, guarded shots, and he shot a great percentage for a bench guy. His role was probably the least clearly defined last year. His next step is to become a guy we can count on to be in the rotation every single night. That will primarily depend on his consistency and focus every day, and also on his defense. If he can take that next step, it will have a huge impact on our team’s success.”
Singleton showed flashes of brilliance as a freshman a year ago, such as in a 12-point performance against Vanderbilt early in the season, but he was also hampered by injuries that limited his practice time, and thus his consistency. At full strength, Singleton is the team’s most athletic player, a high-flyer who can get the ball to the rim. His tomahawk dunk on top of a Colgate defender was voted “Dunk of the Week” on ESPN’s College GameDay show. “Joshea struggled last year with some injuries that hampered his effectiveness and his ability to compete every day,” said Paulsen. “He brings a level of athleticism like no one else on the team, and there are times were he is flat out our best player in practice. His level of consistency, his awareness and attention to detail, will be big keys for him moving forward. We have seen good progress from him, and as we come into the season he is a big wild card for us. Hopefully in a good way.” The newest member of Bucknell’s corps of wing players is Hass, the 6-5 freshman who piled up 2,522 points at Pellston High School, third most in Michigan high school basketball history. Hass obviously brings tremendous offensive credentials to Bucknell, and now he must work on getting stronger and adjusting to the speed of the college game at the defensive end. “Chris is a really talented offensive player,” said Paulsen. “He can shoot the three and really get it off quickly. He can elevate, get to the rim and hit the mid-range jumper. He is still very young and he needs to mature into his body, but he understands that and has shown a willingness to work hard in the weight room. Defense is going to be a huge adjustment for him at this level. In our preseason workouts he has shown glimmers of greatness and moments of being a freshman, but that is to be expected at this stage.” Up front, Paulsen feels blessed to have an all-senior 4-5 combo that is not only one of the best around, but also might be one of the best in school history. Muscala has stamped his mark as a true star player, and Willman has gone from being a solid complimentary player to a legit go-to guy and an All-Patriot Leaguer in his own right. Muscala won league MVP honors as a sopho-

Ryan Hill more, and then last year he upped his scoring average from 14.9 to 17.0 and his rebounding average from 7.3 to 9.1. His 319 rebounds were the most by a Bucknell players since 1968-69. Muscala shot 50.3 percent from the floor and 85.3 percent from the free-throw line, an incredible figure for a 6’11” center. He became only the second player in program history to make more than 200 free throws (203-238), and he also had 63 assists and a league-high 59 blocked shots. If it weren’t for Lehigh’s McCollum in the same class, Muscala just might be going for his fourth straight Patriot League Player of the Year Award this season. Muscala was at his best in the final three postseason games of last season. He logged 30 points and 14 rebounds against Lehigh in the Patriot League final, 20 points and nine rebounds in the NIT win over Arizona, and 25 points and 15 boards in an NIT second-round loss to Nevada. “Mike obviously had a terrific year last year, but the great thing about him is that he just continues to elevate his game,” Paulsen offered. “We challenged him to be a better rebounder, and he was a terror on the glass and around the basket. At this point, he is working on fine-tuning his game. He’s made the effort, and he just gets better every day. He can probably shoot the three a little more and put the ball on the floor a little more, but we certainly don’t want him to get away from what makes him special. He trained this summer at the IMG camp, and being around future NBA players has really raised his confidence. And the thing that really makes him special is that one of his biggest goals for this year is to be an Academic All-American. He got a 3.8 last semester. It is a real treat to coach a guy who embodies the idea of being a student-athlete.” Willman last season scored in double figures (10.7 ppg) for the first time in his career, and he led the Patriot League in field-goal percentage at .528. And just like Muscala, he shot better than 85 percent from the foul line. Willman, who has played in all 100 games over the last three years, is also at his best in the biggest games. He averaged 15.3 ppg in the Patriot League Tournament and earned All-Tournament honors, and he had 10 points and five rebounds in the Arizona game. “Joe just keeps getting better and better every day,” said Paulsen. “He was terrific last year and was well-deserving of Second Team All-Patriot League
honors. He’s the smartest player I’ve coached. He has the ability to see things offensively and defensively that most college players can’t grasp. Joe has improved his ability to score in the post and also put the ball on the floor and drive it. One of the other areas where he’s made great strides is defensively. He can guard a tough, physical 4-man or a more mobile guard. His ability to do that has really helped us, especially in Patriot League play. One of the best things about Joe is he really blends in and does whatever we need. The guys really respect him, and we are encouraging him to be a bit more assertive in that leadership role.” Muscala and Willman are not the only seniors to make an impact in the frontcourt. Brian Fitzpatrick was a terrific addition for the Bison last season, when he was typically the first big off the bench. Fitzpatrick played in all 35 games, playing just under 12 minutes per game, and he averaged 3.9 points and 3.4 rebounds. He shot 63.3 percent from the field and was a tenacious offensive rebounder, as 40 of his 119 total caroms came on the offensive glass. Fitzpatrick’s ability to play the center position was critical, as it allowed Paulsen to give Muscala plenty of mid-game rest in order to keep him strong in crunch time. Muscala fouled out of only two games last year, both coming in the postseason when his minutes were expanded a bit. Fitzpatrick will get a bit of a late start in preseason workouts due to offseason wrist surgery. “Brian was an unbelievable lift to our team last year,” lauded Paulsen. “When he came to Bucknell from Penn he wanted to do everything, but we asked him to simplify his game and focus on rebounding, posting up and running the floor. He really bought in to that and gave us huge minutes. Physically he is a big, athletic presence, and he plays with a chip on his shoulder. He was in phenomenal shape last year. The wrist has set him back a bit this fall, but we are counting on him getting back to full strength.” Colin Klebon is another senior who gives the Bison good depth up front. The lefthander has not seen as many game minutes, but he goes hard in practice every day, and when he does get on the floor he is productive. Last season he played 28 total minutes and recorded 20 points and eight rebounds. “Colin is a great young man and a great teammate who is doing very well in a challenging major (civil engineering),” said Paulsen. “In some ways the circumstances have been difficult for him, coming in in the same recruiting class with one of the best frontcourt combos we’ve ever had. But he has played a role in those guys getting better.” Paulsen said that one of the most improved returning players coming back this season is sophomore forward Cory Starkey. The Michigan native got into 11 games last season and produced 10 points and 12 rebounds. Now he is vying to move up in the rotation. “Nobody I have ever coached works harder than Cory Starkey,” said Paulsen. “When he got here, the physicality and speed of the game was a huge challenge for him. But he has responded the way you would want, by rolling up his sleeves and putting in the effort. He is markedly improved compared to this time last year. He goes up against two great players every day. If he keeps working the way he does, he is going to be a success.” Rounding out the frontcourt unit is a pair of first-year players in Dom Hoffman and Matt Banas. Hoffman, a strong, hard-working 6-7 forward, comes out of a nationally ranked prep program at Gill St. Bernard’s in New Jersey. Hoffman was a 1,000-point, 1,000-rebound performer and a Second Team All-State selection, even while going up against some of the top high school programs in the country. Hoffman tallied 24 points, 13
rebounds, 5 blocks in a win over national No. 8 Mater Dei (Calif.), for example. “Dom is a really smart and skilled frontcourt guy,” said Paulsen. “He reminds me of Joe Willman in terms of his basketball IQ. He is coming out of a very good high school program where he played a high level of competition. He is one of the more college-ready freshmen that we have had, so the physicality of the game won’t be as big an adjustment for him as for some other guys.” Banas comes to Bucknell from just down the road in Hershey, Pa. He was a Harrisburg PatriotNews Big-15 selection and a 1,000-point scorer at Hershey High School. “Matt was a terrific high school player, and we are very happy that he decided to join our program,” said Paulsen. “He is a skilled frontcourt player with good size and shooting ability. This is going to be a year of learning and growth for Matt, and he will give us a good look at where he might fit in best down the road.” That 15-man roster will be charged with first vying for a third straight Patriot League regularseason title, and then with trying to get that championship trophy back from Lehigh, which also returns most of its key parts from last season. “We do talk about Lehigh,” admitted Paulsen. “We have all the respect in the world for their program and they way they represented the Patriot League in the NCAA Tournament, but at the same time, we are mad and frustrated that it wasn’t us on that stage. We are going to have to embrace every game, not just the two with Lehigh, and I think the guys have come back in the right frame of mind. We are looking forward to the challenge.”

Bison Basketball Notebook PAULSEN REPEATS AS COY: Dave Paulsen became only the third repeat winner of the Patriot League Coach of the Year Award, and he became just the seventh coach in league history to win that award multiple times. HOME, SWEET HOME: Bucknell went 14-3 at Sojka Pavilion last season. Since the facility opened in 2003, Bucknell is now 98-32 overall and 69-13 against league foes. SOJKA TURNS 10: It’s hard to believe, but Bucknell’s “brand new” Sojka Pavilion actually turns 10 years old this season. The first game in the facility was played on Jan. 15, 2003. FREE-THROWS ON TARGET: In 2010-11, Bucknell broke a school record and ranked third in all of Division I basketball with a .788 free-throw percentage. The Bison nearly matched that figure last year, when they ranked fourth nationally at .774.
Bryson Johnson Conference newcomer Missouri; and home games against mid-major powers George Mason, Kent State and La Salle. MILESTONE WATCH: Entering the 2012-13 season, several Bison are chasing significant milestones: • Mike Muscala needs 574 points to become Bucknell’s all-time leading scorer (Al Leslie had 1,973) and 601 to become the program’s first 2,000-point scorer. He tallied 596 points last season. • Muscala needs 285 rebounds to join Hal Danzig as the only players in program history with 1,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. • Muscala needs only 10 more made free throws to match Bill Courtney’s program record of 400. • Muscala needs 87 blocked shots to catch school record-holder Mike Butts, who had 278. • Bryson Johnson needs 44 3-point field goals to equal Kevin Bettencourt’s Bucknell career record of 294. • Joe Willman needs 197 points for 1,000 in his career. • Cameron Ayers needs 355 points for 1,000 in his career. FOUR OVER 1,000?: Bucknell has never had four 1,000-point scorers on the same roster before, but that could happen this year if Joe Willman and Cameron Ayers can reach that milestone. Mike Muscala and Bryson Johnson both hit the century mark last season. 25x2: Bucknell is coming off its first-ever backto-back 25-win seasons. The program record for victories in consecutive years is 51, set in 2004-05 (24) and 2005-06 (27). NIT PICKING: The National Invitation Tournament celebrated its 75th anniversary last season, and Bucknell participated in the event for the very first time. The Bison knocked off Arizona 65-54 in the first round for their first win over a Pac-12 team since 1951 (Arizona State). PATRIOT LEAGUE HONORS: Bucknell tied a league record with four selections on either the AllPatriot League first or second team. Mike Muscala was a first team choice, while Cameron Ayers, Joe Willman and Bryan Cohen all made second team.
PATRIOT LEAGUE PROWESS: The Bison are 20094 (.680) in Patriot League regular-season games, the best record of any league team. They have finished at least .500 in PL play in 18 of 22 seasons, and over the last two seasons they are 25-3. The Bison won a league-record 23 straight contests against conference foes from Feb. 23, 2005 to Jan. 12, 2007. Bucknell had a streak of 35 straight wins at home against conference opponents come to an end in 2008.

SCHOLAR-ATHLETE SUCCESS The Bucknell basketball program has enjoyed tremendous success in the classroom in recent years. Among the highlights: The Bison men’s basketball team had combined GPAs over 3.0 in both semesters in 2011-12, the third straight year the team has accomplished that. The Bison men’s basketball program easily met the national standard in the NCAA’s Academic Performance Rate (APR) study, released last June. The men’s basketball APR is 995 (out of 1,000), which is in the top 10 percent nationally and earned the Bison program an NCAA APR Public Recognition Award. The APR awards have been given since 2007, and the Bison men’s basketball program has been honored in all six years. Bucknell has claimed 121 national Academic All-Americans since 1970, including eight from men’s basketball. The total of 121 ranks fifth among all Division I institutions, trailing only Nebraska, Notre Dame, Penn State and Stanford. In the Patriot League’s 21-year history, the league’s men’s basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year has come from Bucknell nine times. Last season, Mike Muscala and Bryson Johnson both earned spots on the five-man Academic All-Patriot League Team, while Johnson also earned Capital One Academic All-District honors for the first time. def.

The Coaching Staff
Dave Paulsen receives the 2012 Patriot League Coach of the Year Award from Patriot League Executive Director Carolyn Schlie Femovich.
Head Coach Dave Paulsen
Bucknell has improved dramatically throughout Dave Paulsen’s first four seasons with the Bison, culminating in back-to-back 25-win seasons. In 2010-11, a Patriot League regular-season title was followed by a Patriot League Tournament championship and an NCAA Tournament berth. Last year Bucknell repeated as Patriot League regular season champs and played in the National Invitation Tournament for the first time in program history, where they knocked off top-seeded Arizona in the first round. Paulsen has won the last two Patriot League Coach of the Year awards, making him only the third coach in league history to receive the honor in consecutive years. It was well justified, as Bucknell has gone 50-19 overall and 25-3 in the Patriot League over that span. Paulsen, a two-time National Coach of the Year who led Williams College to the 2003 Division III national championship, was named the head men’s basketball coach at Bucknell on May 20, 2008, and he enters his fifth season on the Bison bench in 2012-13. Paulsen in 2011 was one of 16 finalists for the Hugh Durham Award, presented to the national Mid-Major Coach of the Year. Paulsen reached the 300-win mark for his career in his 17th season as a head coach in 2010-11, and he enters the 2012-13 campaign with a 333-179 (.650) lifetime record. Paulsen’s initial Bucknell recruiting class resulted in a record three Patriot League AllRookie honorees in Bryson Johnson, Mike Muscala and Joe Willman. Muscala developed into the Patriot League Player of the Year as a sophomore and is now an NBA prospect and one of the top senior big men in the nation, while Johnson and Willman have both become All-Patriot League selections.
Paulsen recruited another All-Rookie/ All-Patriot League student-athlete the following year in Cameron Ayers, who was also named to the PL AllTournament Team after helping the Bison to the league title in 2010. “Bison Men’s Basketball has benefitted tremendously from the leadership of Dave Paulsen over the last three years, and I am very excited to support him as he and his staff continue to develop and lead the program into the future,” said director of athletics John Hardt upon announcing a contract extension for Paulsen in the spring of 2011. “Bison fans should be proud of the energy and passion Dave has devoted since his arrival at Bucknell, and his outstanding efforts in recruiting and player development were justly rewarded with a league championship and a return to the NCAA Tournament. Just as important, he has helped produce a winning program without sacrificing the scholarathlete ideal in which Bucknell takes so much pride.” Paulsen, a 1987 Williams graduate and a Phi Beta Kappa scholar, has coached at every level of college basketball over the last two decades, has won 65 percent of his games as a head coach, and is considered a highly sought-after consultant on the principles of the motion offense. Paulsen, 48, came to Bucknell as its 20th head basketball coach after leading Williams to the top of the Division III ranks. In eight years at Williams, he guided the Ephs to a 170-53 (.762) record, including a combined 61-3 mark in 2002-03 and 2003-04. His team captured the 2003 national championship and was the national runner-up in 2004. The National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) Coach of the Year in both 2003 and 2004, Paulsen’s teams won three NESCAC championships (2003, 2004, 2007) and made four NCAA Tournament appearances (2002, 2003, 2004, 2007). He was a three-time NESCAC Coach of the Year and two-time New England Coach of the Year. Prior to his tenure at Williams, Paulsen served as head coach at Le Moyne from 1997-2000 and at St. Lawrence from 1994-97. He compiled a three-year record of 42-39 at Le Moyne, while also serving as the school’s director of NCAA compliance. At St. Lawrence, he posted a 50-28 record in three seasons, including the 1995-96 and 1996-97 campaigns in which the Saints made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances, and he was twice named the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association Coach of the Year. In 1989-90, Paulsen served as the graduate assistant coach on Steve Fisher’s staff at Michigan while completing his master’s degree in history. Paulsen was part of a Wolverines program that went 23-8 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament,
and he had the opportunity to coach six players who would later become NBA draft picks. From 1990-94, Paulsen was the senior assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Cleveland State, helping the Vikings to a 64-50 record in four seasons, including a 22-6 record (15-1 Mid-Continent Conference) in 1992-93. Paulsen graduated from Williams cum laude with departmental honors in history. He was also a member of the Ephs’ varsity basketball team. In 1987, his squad captured the ECAC New England Division III championship. Upon his return to Williams as head coach, Paulsen also served as an assistant professor of physical education, which is fitting since he is widely regarded as one of college basketball’s most accomplished teachers. Known as an offensive innovator, Paulsen has produced four acclaimed instructional videos, entitled “Ten Offensive Principles for the Adaptable Motion Offense,” “Motion Offense for Beginners,” “Developing Explosive Perimeter Players,” and “Principles of Effective Post Play.” Paulsen has been a featured clinician at more than 50 developmental camps and coaches conventions throughout the nation, including the prestigious Nike Championship Basketball Clinics. He was even asked to participate in a pair of clinics in Portugal. Paulsen has been chosen to serve on the NCAA Division I Regional Advisory Committee, where he will provide input on the selection of the NCAA Tournament field. He is a member of the NABC Congress, and in 2011-12 he became a voter in the USA Today Top-25 Coaches’ Poll. “I believe that Bucknell is unique among Division I institutions in its commitment to excellence both academically and athletically,” said Paulsen. “I have never had more fun coaching a group of young men than I did [last] season because of their relentless work ethic, tremendous focus and inspiring unselfishness. We are proud of the accomplishments of the team, but also hungry to constantly improve and carry on the tradition of great basketball teams that have characterized Bucknell basketball history.” Paulsen and his wife, Kathy, have three daughters: Claire (17), Sara (13) and Molly (10).

dane fischer
associate head Coach fifth season
Dane Fischer enters his fifth season at Bucknell and his second since being promoted to associate head coach in 2011-12. When Dave Paulsen took over as Bucknell’s head coach in 2008, he quickly tabbed Fischer as his lead assistant coach. Fischer has since proven to be a tireless recruiter and a smart basketball tactician. Much of his early success in both departments — including the recruitment of Patriot
League Player of the Year Mike Muscala — helped lead to a championship season in year No. 3 in 2010-11, followed by a second straight 25-win season and an NIT appearance last season. In addition to serving as recruiting coordinator, Fischer is the program’s academic advisor. Bucknell has claimed three Academic All-Patriot League and two Capital One Academic All-District selections in the last two years. Fischer also handles Bucknell’s non-conference scheduling and is heavily involved in the program’s community outreach and fundraising initiatives. Fischer had been an assistant coach at Rider for the three seasons prior to coming to Bucknell. In 2007-08 he helped lead the Broncs to a schoolrecord 23 victories and a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) regular-season championship. In addition to his on-court duties, Fischer served as the program’s recruiting coordinator. He brought three all-conference and two all-rookie performers to the Lawrenceville, N.J., campus, and the class of 2011 graduated with the most career wins in the history of the program. At Rider, Fischer coached NBA lottery pick Jason Thompson, who was the top senior taken in the 2008 Draft. Thompson was picked 12th overall by the Sacramento Kings. At Rider, he was named the Haggerty Award winner as the 2008 Metropolitan Basketball Writers Player of the Year, Associated Press Honorable Mention All-America, the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Player of the Year, the District II Player of the Year by the U.S. Basketball Writers and to the First Team All-District 3 team by the National Basketball Coaches.

Aaron Kelly is back for his fifth year on Dave Paulsen’s staff and his fourth as an assistant coach after serving as the program’s manager of basketball operations in 2008-09. Prior to coming to Bucknell, Kelly was assistant coach under Paulsen at Williams in 2007-08. At Bucknell, Kelly is involved in all aspects of the Bison program, from recruiting to scouting to on-floor coaching to summer camps and other offseason programs. Bucknell finished 12-2 in the Patriot League in 2011-12 and earned its second straight regular-season title. The Bison went on to play in the National Invitation Tournament, where they defeated top-seeded Arizona 65-54 in the first round. Over the past two seasons, Bucknell is 50-9 overall and 30-4 against Patriot League opponents. Kelly served as Williams’ head junior varsity basketball coach in addition to his varsity duties in recruiting, scouting, player development, strength and conditioning and summer camp organization. In 2006-07, Kelly was an assistant coach at Clarkson University, where he was part of a Golden Knights team that finished with a winning record (14-12).

Charles Lee, the 2006 Patriot League Player of the Year and one of the catalysts of Bucknell’s 2005 and 2006 championship teams, returns to his alma mater as an assistant men’s basketball coach in 2012-13. Lee, who scored 1,147 points and earned the Christy Mathewson Award as the top athlete in the Class of 2006, was one of the final training camp cuts of the San Antonio Spurs before embarking on an outstanding playing career in Israel, Belgium and Germany. At the time of his graduation, Lee ranked 21st on Bucknell’s all-time scoring list, and he currently ranks 22nd. A 6-3 guard, Lee also ranks 20th on Bucknell’s career rebounding chart with 568, making him one of only 17 players in program history to amass 1,000 points and 500 rebounds. He also ranks fifth in school history in steals with 167. Lee co-captained the Bison in 2004-05 and 2005-06. In both seasons Bucknell won Patriot League championships and went on to capture first-round victories in the NCAA Tournament. Lee recorded 15 points and eight rebounds in Bucknell’s historic upset of third-seeded Kansas in the 2005 NCAA Tournament. That was the first NCAA win in Bucknell and Patriot League history. In Lee’s senior year, Bucknell won a school-record 27 games, became the first Patriot League team to go undefeated in league play in the regular season, and entered the national top-25 for the first time in program history. The Bison earned a No. 9 seed in the NCAA Tournament, and led by a game-high 24 points from Lee, they knocked off Arkansas in the opening round. Lee became the first player in league history to earn back-to-back Patriot League Tournament Most Valuable Player Awards. In addition to his 2006 Patriot League Player of the Year Award, he earned three All-Patriot League citations: second
team honors as a sophomore and first team nods as a junior and senior. He was an Associated Press Honorable Mention AllName Years at BU W L Pct.

Keppler coordinates the work of seven professional staff members and a dedicated group of student assistants. The head trainer at Carnegie Mellon University for 11 years before coming to Bucknell, Keppler is a member of the National Athletic Trainers Association and is both state- and nationallycertified. From 1982-84 he served as president of the Pennsylvania Athletic Training Society, and from 1984-97 he served with the Athletic Training Advisory Commission to the State Board of Physical Therapy. He is currently the Convention Chair for PATS and was inducted into that organization’s Hall of Fame in June 2006. Keppler is a 1973 graduate of Florida State University and holds a master’s degree from the University of Pittsburgh. After working with the football program for his first three years at Bucknell, Keppler moved to the fieldhouse training room to coordinate the athletic training office for the entire athletic department. In the fall of 1999, he once again took over as the primary football trainer, in addition to running the athletic training office. Keppler also serves as the primary athletic trainer for spring football, and supervises off-season rehabilitation programs for any injured Bison football players.

Bison Give Back to the Lewisburg Community
Head coach Dave Paulsen believes very strongly in giving back to the local community that has shown so much support to the Bison basketball program throughout the years. In each of his first four seasons at Bucknell, Paulsen and his team conducted a free instructional clinic and autograph session that was very well attended by local youths. In addition, team members have visited local elementary schools to participate in the Dream to Read program, where players read books with youngsters in their classrooms. The team visits a local soup kitchen to serve meals to needy families and also makes regular appearances at the Lewisburg Food Bank. In recent years the team has made it a tradition to pay a Halloween visit to the Janet Weis Children’s Hospital at the Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pa., each fall. The coaching staff and a host of Bison players make the trip to the hospital to lift the spirits of the children they spend time with. For the student-athletes, the experience is both eye-opening and gratifying. On Jan. 12, 2013, the Bison will host the Ninth Annual Dirk Sojka Slam Dunk with Bison Basketball, with proceeds benefitting Suncom Industries, where persons with disabilities learn to reach their full potential. Suncom was the workplace of Dirk Sojka, son of Gary and Sandy Sojka, until Dirk’s passing in July 2002. Paulsen and his staff also place great emphasis on alumni relations, keeping former Bison players in the Bucknell Basketball family. The annual golf tournament is one of several events geared toward alums and supporters of the program. This past summer, more than 100 golfers participated in the event. This year’s annual Alumni Game will be held on Feb. 2, 2013.

The Patriot League, which was founded on the principles of admitting athletes who are academically representative of their class, is in its third decade of academic and athletic achievement. Participation in athletics at Patriot League institutions is viewed as an important component of a well-rounded education. The Patriot League began as a successful Division I-AA (now called Football Championship Subdivision) football conference in 1986. Full League members include American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy. Associate members include Fordham and Georgetown in football and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in women’s rowing. In the classroom, the Patriot League’s full-member institutions, individually and collectively, consistently rank among the top Division I programs in the NCAA Graduation Rates Report. Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked first among all Division I conferences in student-athlete graduation rates according to the NCAA Graduation Rates report. The League finished at the top spot with 96 percent of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 90 Patriot League teams earned NCAA Academic Performance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. League members have also distinguished themselves on the field of play. The Patriot League sponsors championship competition in 24 sports (11 for men; 13 for women). Championship teams from 15 sports are guaranteed advancement into NCAA postseason competition: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, field hockey, football, men’s golf, men’s and women’s lacrosse, women’s rowing, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis and volleyball. Along the timeline of Patriot League history about three-quarters of the Patriot League’s Scholar-Athletes of the Year also received All-Patriot League status for their exemplary athletic performance. In the Patriot League’s history, more than 200 student-athletes have been recognized as CoSIDA Academic All-Americans, while more than 12,000 have qualified for the League’s Academic Honor Roll. More than 30 student-athletes have received NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships. Additionally, Patriot League student-athletes have earned Fulbright Scholarships, Rhodes Scholarships, Marshall Scholarships and NACDA/Disney Scholarships.
The Presidents’ Cup The Presidents’ Cup signifies overall excellence in the 24 sports sponsored by the Patriot League, and Bucknell has won the Cup 17 times in its 22-year existence, including 13 of the last 15 years. The Presidents’ Cup is awarded annually to the institution that accumulates the highest point total over the entire academic year, with points awarded on the basis of the school’s finish in each of the 24 Patriot League sports. If there is a league tournament in a sport, the points are awarded based on the average of the regular season and tournament finish, and if there is no post-season tournament, points are awarded based on regular-season standings.

Trevor Mbakwe scored nine of his game-high 17 points in the final 5:30, helping Minnesota erase a five-point deficit at the time and rally past Bucknell 70-58 at Williams Arena. Bryson Johnson posted 16 points and local product Mike Muscala recorded a double-double with 12 points and 11 rebounds, but the Bison did not make another field goal after taking a 53-48 lead late in the game. The season opener for both teams was a defensive struggle for most of the night, as neither side shot better than 40 percent and both finished with more made free throws than field goals.
A second-half 3-point shooting flurry helped 18th-ranked Vanderbilt break open a one-point game at the half, and the Commodores pulled away for an 80-68 victory in a TicketCity Legends Classic regional round contest. Joe Willman led the Bison with 17 points on 8-for-12 shooting. Bucknell shot 47.1 percent from the field, but Vanderbilt’s big guards limited the Bison to only four 3-pointers all night. Vanderbilt started the game just 1-for-13 from 3-point range and went 2-for-15 in the first half, but then the Commodores went 8-for-15 from the arc in a 53-point second half.

Joe Willman was the catalyst in an early 16-0 run, and the Bucknell defense took over from there in a 73-42 win over visiting Saint Francis (Pa.). Bryan Cohen led four Bison in double figures with 15 points, while Mike Muscala added 14 points and 10 rebounds. Bucknell unveiled its 2011 Patriot League championship and NCAA Tournament banners prior to the start of its home opener. The Bison then turned in a championship-caliber performance, dominating in all phases of the game en route to their 14th straight home victory.

An impressive offensive performance by the Bison was nearly undone by some lights-out 3-point shooting by Marist, but Bucknell got some big defensive stops in the final two minutes and held off the Red Foxes 74-68. Mike Muscala led the Bison with 17 points, six rebounds and four blocked shots, Joe Willman continued his fine play with 16 points on 8-for-12 shooting, and Bryan Cohen dished out a career-high nine assists to go with 14 points. Bryson Johnson added 12 points and Cameron Ayers had eight for the Bison, who shot 53.2 percent from the field en route to their second straight win. Marist made 11 3-pointers in 25 attempts, with eight of those bombs coming in the second half. That was nearly enough to overcome a 15-point deficit, but the Bison made some big stops down the stretch.

Mike Muscala piled up 25 points and 12 rebounds, and Bucknell turned in a stellar defensive effort in a 62-56 victory over Princeton on the opening night of the TicketCity Legends Classic at Sojka Pavilion. With the help of a big lift from freshman point guard Steven Kaspar in the second half, the Bison won their third straight game to improve to 3-2 on the season. With Muscala shooting 8-for-10 from both the field and the free-throw line, Bucknell earned its first victory over Princeton since 1996, snapping a five-game losing streak to the defending Ivy League champions. It was Bucknell’s first home victory over the Tigers since 1985.

bucknell 87, west alabama 50 sojka pavilion • ticketcity legends classic lewisburg, pa. • nov. 26, 2011
Bryson Johnson drained nine of Bucknell’s school-record 17 3-pointers and scored 27 points, lifting the Bison to a runaway 87-50 victory over West Alabama as part of the TicketCity Legends Classic. Cameron Ayers scored a career-high 20 points and Ben Brackney a career-high 12 off the bench as Bucknell won its fourth straight game overall and 16th in a row at home. West Alabama tried to clog the lane with a tight zone defense, but that just left Bucknell’s shooters open time and time again for wide open looks, and Johnson, Ayers and Brackney made them pay.

la salle 78, bucknell 52 tom gola arena philadelphia, pa. • dec. 3, 2011
Bucknell suffered a rare one-sided loss, succumbing to red-hot La Salle 7852 at Tom Gola Arena. Ramon Gallaway scored 20 points and hit five of his team’s dozen 3-pointers, helping the Explorers win their third straight game and avenge an 89-77 home loss to Bucknell from a year earlier. Joe Willman scored a team-high 14 points on 6-for-12 shooting from the floor, but the rest of the starting lineup went just 5-for-28 against a much-improved La Salle defense. La Salle was impressive from start to finish, shooting 49.2 percent from the field while placing four players in double figures.

bucknell 54, morehead state 50 Sojka pavilion • ticketcity legends classic lewisburg, pa. • nov. 27, 2011
Lewisburg Subregional Most Valuable Player Cameron Ayers hit the tiebreaking 3-pointer with 1:47 remaining, helping Bucknell rally from 10 points down in the second half and claim a 54-50 victory over Morehead State and a perfect 3-0 weekend. Ayers scored 15 points and did not turn the ball over in 36 minutes against the Eagles’ heavy fullcourt pressure, and Bryson Johnson hit six more 3-pointers and scored 20 points. Like Bucknell, Morehead State had also beaten Princeton and West Alabama, so this contest was for the “championship” of the Lewisburg Subregional of the Legends Classic. The game had a bit of a playoff feel, as both teams dug in defensively, making any inside look at the basket a rarity. On the other hand, both sides shot the ball well from 3-point range early on. Johnson, coming off a nine-trey game against West Alabama, hit four more in the first 10 minutes of the game.

george mason 61, bucknell 57 patriot center fairfax, va. • nov. 30, 2011
Cameron Ayers scored a career-high 23 points, but George Mason fought off two big Bucknell rallies and prevailed 61-57 at the Patriot Center. Mike Muscala added 11 points and 15 rebounds for the Bison, who saw their fivegame winning streak end. Ryan Pearson scored 16 points for the Patriots, who improved to 5-2 and won their 18th straight home game dating back to the previous season. Sherrod Wright added 14 points and Bryon Allen added 12 points and seven rebounds for George Mason, which won 27 games and beat Villanova in the NCAA Tournament the previous season. George Mason took a 59-56 lead on a layup with 34 seconds left. Ayers then missed a rare 3-point jumper that would have tied it, but Muscala pulled down the offensive rebound and was fouled. He made 1 of 2 at the line, and then Pearson made 1 of 2 with 19 seconds left to make it 60-57. Bucknell found Muscala at the top of the key, but his potential tying three was off the mark.

Joe Willman hit 8 of 10 shots and scored 16 points, and Bucknell ran out to a 20-point halftime lead before surviving some nervous moments down the stretch in a 77-63 victory at Binghamton. Bucknell shot 61.4 percent from the floor and hit 6 of 10 from 3-point range. Cameron Ayers went 3-for-4 from the 3-point arc and scored 14 points, Mike Muscala had 12 points and nine rebounds and Joshea Singleton led a strong bench effort with 10 points. Steven Kaspar made his first career start and stuffed the boxscore with seven points, six rebounds, six assists and five steals. Bucknell raced out to a 43-23 halftime lead behind 68 percent shooting from the field. The Bison made 17 of their 25 first-half attempts, including 4 of 5 from 3-point range. They led by as many as 24 in the second half, but the Bearcats pulled within nine late thanks to some hot 3-point shooting and a rash of Bucknell turnovers and missed free throws.
Cameron Ayers matched his career high with 23 points, Mike Muscala added 22 points and 12 rebounds and Bryson Johnson exploded for 18 in the second half to headline Bucknell’s 79-65 victory over Richmond. The Bison shot 70 percent from the field in a 52-point second half, and they went 21for-21 from the free-throw line. The Bison gained control of this one midway through the second half. After trailing 31-27 at halftime, Bucknell regained the lead on Johnson’s first of five second-half 3-pointers 4:25 into the second period. Bucknell’s lead was three when Johnson turned in the play of the night, hitting a long 3-pointer while getting decked on the follow-through. Johnson turned it into a four-point play, and the Bison had the biggest lead of the night for either side at 53-46. Another Johnson trey with 5:39 to play gave Bucknell its first 10-point lead at 60-50, and the Bison led by at least seven the rest of the way.

Mike Muscala scored all 18 of his points in the second half and led a terrific effort on the boards with 13 rebounds, helping Bucknell rally past Cornell 63-60. Bryan Cohen added 13 points, and Bryson Johnson hit a key 3-pointer late en route to a 12-point night. Bucknell Hall of Famer Bill Courtney ‘92 returned to Lewisburg for the first time as Cornell’s head coach, and his team led for the entire first half before the Bison righted themselves after an ugly start. Bucknell’s victory was its 26th of 2011, a new program record for wins in a calendar year. Trying to shake off a rare home loss, Bucknell struggled early against Cornell’s aggressive trapping defense. The Bison missed their first seven shots and 15 of their first 18, and they were stuck on six points for more than seven minutes. Even with that offensive drought, Bucknell held its own defensively and never trailed by more than nine points.
Mike Muscala registered 18 points and eight rebounds, Joe Willman added 15 points, seven rebounds and a career-high six assists, and Bucknell played terrific defense in the second half in a 67-59 win over Dartmouth at Leede Arena. The Bison trailed for most of the night before taking over with a late 15-0 run. Cameron Ayers scored 11 points despite foul trouble, and Bryson Johnson counted the go-ahead 3-pointer among his 10 points. After Dartmouth shot 48.1 percent in the first half en route to an eight-point lead, Bucknell held the Big Green to 33.3 percent shooting in the second period. The Bison had five steals and five blocked shots in the second half while forcing numerous contested shots. The Bison held Dartmouth to three field goals in the first 12:29 of the period, and they pulled within two at 47-45 on a reverse layup by Steven Kaspar, who was a key player in the late-game run.

Mike Muscala scored a game-high 24 points and went over the 1,000-point mark for his career, but Loyola (Md.) spoiled his milestone night and ended Bucknell’s 18-game home winning streak with a 72-67 decision at Sojka Pavilion. The Greyhounds received 18 points and eight rebounds from Erik Etherly, while Dylon Cormier added 14 points, including the go-ahead 3-point play with 3:36 remaining and two clinching free throws with eight seconds left. Bucknell led 64-61 with four minutes to play, but Loyola ended the game on an 11-3 run. Muscala’s 1,000th point came on a free throw with 6:53 remaining that capped a 6-0 run and put Bucknell in front 57-56. One minute later Muscala drained a baseline jumper to break a 58-all tie, and after two Justin Drummond free throws for Loyola, Muscala passed to Steven Kaspar for a fastbreak layup to put the Bison up 62-60. Bucknell’s lead was 64-61 after a Kaspar free throw with 4:10 to play, but then the Bison went cold at an inopportune time.

Bryson Johnson scored a game-high 17 points, and Bryan Cohen and Mike Muscala added 13 each to lead Bucknell to a 70-57 win over Colgate and a 2-0 start in Patriot League play. The Bison led 38-29 after shooting 55.6 percent in the first half, but the key swing in the game came with about nine minutes remaining. Colgate had the ball down by eight points at 52-44 but threw the ball away on the left wing. At the other end, Johnson was left wide open for one of his five 3-pointers. The Raiders turned it over again on their next possession, and Cohen followed with a 17-foot jumper to push the lead up to a commanding 13 points at 57-44. Bucknell led by double digits the rest of the way.

Mike Muscala scored a season-high 27 points, Cameron Ayers added 15 and Bucknell used a big second half to pull away from Lafayette 79-65 before a large bipartisan crowd at Kirby Sports Center. In a rematch of the 2011 Patriot League championship game played between two teams already off to 2-0 starts in conference play, the Bison took control early in the second half to win its fifth straight game and take over sole possession of first place. Bucknell turned a four-point halftime lead into a 14-point win thanks to a 45-point second half. The Bison made 17 of 26 shots (.654) in the final 20 minutes and scored on 21 of their 29 possessions. Muscala went 9-for-13 from the floor and 9-for-9 from the foul line. Bucknell also received a combined 14 points and 12 rebounds from Joe Willman and Brian Fitzpatrick and finished with a 48-26 scoring edge in the paint and a 34-18 rebounding advantage.
Mike Muscala recorded his ninth double-double of the season with 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Bucknell rode a terrific defensive effort to its sixth straight victory, 68-61 over Lehigh in a battle of the Patriot League’s two winningest teams. Cameron Ayers tallied 13 points, including the clinching free throws with 20 seconds left, Bryan Cohen added 12 points and Joe Willman had 11 for the Bison, who had 17 assists on 20 field goals and committed only eight turnovers. In addition to their scoring, Ayers and Cohen spent large amounts of time handling the ball with point guards Ryan Hill and Steven Kaspar in foul trouble, in addition to playing strong defense on Lehigh star C.J. McCollum. McCollum, the nation’s fifth-leading scorer at 21.2 points per game, was held to 14 points on 5-for-15 shooting. McCollum did have nine assists, but he was held to just four second-half points.

Mike Muscala recorded another double-double with 21 points and 12 rebounds, Bryson Johnson scored 13 big second-half points, and Bryan Cohen logged his 1,000th career point in addition to his usual stellar defense, helping Bucknell to a 68-61 victory over second-place American and a two-game lead in the Patriot League standings. Daniel Munoz hit a 3-pointer and a free throw to give American a 21-14 lead, but then Muscala took over in the late stages of the first half. Three times he scored on low-post maneuvers, and he also assisted on a Joe Willman jumper. Muscala’s shot in the lane with 1:05 left in the half gave the Bison the lead for good, and Cohen’s layup with 29 seconds left made it a 14-4 run to end the half and put the Bison up 28-25 at intermission. Bucknell then took control in the first 10 minutes of the second half, outscoring American 21-9 to grab a 15-point lead.

Mike Muscala scored 27 points on 11-for-15 shooting to lead Bucknell to a 66-51 victory at Navy on Saturday night. The Bison extended their Patriot League winning streak to 17 games — the longest conference streak in the nation — and their overall run to nine in a row. Muscala equaled his career high with 11 made field goals, scoring on an impressive array of outside shots and moves around the basket. He also went 4-for-4 from the foul line and grabbed eight rebounds while matching his season scoring high. He also had 27 in a win at Lafayette earlier in the month. Bryan Cohen added 12 points, including a couple of big first-half treys to help Bucknell stretch out its lead. Bucknell did well to contain Navy’s top two scorers, as J.J. Avila (16.3) and Jordan Sugars (11.5) were limited to eight apiece.

After being honored prior to the game for scoring his 1,000th career point, senior Bryan Cohen added 19 more to his total and turned in another stellar defensive effort to lead Bucknell to a hard-fought 81-68 win over Army. Cohen went 8-for-10 from the floor and helped break open a close game in the second half with three critical drives to the basket, helping the Bison to their 10th straight win overall and their national-best 18th consecutive conference victory. This one was not as easy as the 13-point final margin would indicate, however. The Bison trailed by five points in the early going, and despite shooting a whopping 70 percent (17-24) in the first half, their halftime lead was just eight at 42-34.

Bryan Cohen scored 12 points and Bucknell overcame a rare cold shooting night with some terrific defense in a 66-50 win at Colgate. The Bison also got 11 points each from Mike Muscala and Joe Willman, but their defense was the story of the night. Bucknell held Colgate to 14 field goals and 25.9 percent shooting. The Raiders were shooting under 20 percent until tossing in four field goals in the last four minutes, and 27 of their 50 points came in the final 11:22, after Bucknell had given the starting five the rest of the night off.

The nation’s longest conference winning streak came to an end when Lehigh’s C.J. McCollum hit a 3-pointer with eight-tenths of a second remaining, lifting the Mountain Hawks to a 56-53 verdict over Bucknell at Sojka Pavilion. The Bison had won 20 straight Patriot League games dating back to last season, and their 12-game overall winning streak also came to an end, despite double-doubles from Joe Willman and Mike Muscala. Including regularseason and postseason games, Bucknell had not lost to a Patriot League opponent since falling at Army on Jan. 29, 2011. Willman equaled his season and career high with 19 points to go along with 11 rebounds. McCollum, who had been held to just three field goals at the time, dribbled the clock all the way down before hitting a contested 3-pointer with less than a second to go.

After losing by 34 points in Lewisburg last month, Holy Cross turned the tables on Bucknell at the Hart Center, holding on for dear life at the end of a 54-52 victory after leading by as many as 19 in the second half. The Bison made a valiant comeback and received 20 points and 10 rebounds from Mike Muscala, but they dropped their second game in less than 48 hours. Justin Burrell scored 15 points to lead Holy Cross to its fourth straight win. Holy Cross blitzed Bucknell right from the start. After Muscala scored on Bucknell’s first possession of the day, the Bison missed their next 14 shots in a row. Meanwhile, the Crusaders poured in 17 straight points. Despite shooting only 36.4 percent, Holy Cross took a 28-10 lead into the locker room as the Bison went just 5-for-24 (.208) from the floor and 0-for-5 from 3-point range in the half.

Mike Muscala recorded 26 points and 14 rebounds, and Bucknell got hot at the right time in a hard-fought 55-50 win at American. With the victory, the Bison clinched the No. 1 seed and homecourt advantage throughout the Patriot League Tournament. Bucknell snapped a two-game losing streak and prevented American and Lehigh from moving into a tie for first place. Bryson Johnson added 11 points, including two critical 3-pointers in the second half, to help the Bison rally from a 10-point first-half deficit. Bucknell struggled shooting the ball for most of the night and finished at 33.3 percent for the game. But the Bison went 5-for-5 from the arc in the second half, including three on as many possessions late in the game to stretch a one-point lead up to 10.

With the victory, the Bison secured the outright Patriot League regular-season title with a 12-2 record (22-8 overall).

Bucknell’s dreams of a second straight Patriot League championship and NCAA Tournament bid were dashed as Lehigh held off every Bison charge in an 82-77 victory at jam-packed Sojka Pavilion. Mike Muscala had a monster night with 30 points, 14 rebounds, four assists and three blocked shots, but the Bison were relegated to their first-ever appearance in the National Invitation Tournament. C.J. McCollum scored 29 points and Gabe Knutson had 23 to lead the second-seeded Mountain Hawks, who went on to beat Duke in the NCAA Tournament. Bucknell trailed by seven in the final minute before Bryson Johnson hit two 3-pointers in just four seconds to make it a one-point game. Mackey McKnight then missed two free throws and the Bison had a possession to win it but could not convert. Muscala’s 30 points were one shy of the championship-game record, and Muscala and Joe Willman earned All-Tournament honors.
Showing tremendous resiliency in bouncing back from a tough loss in the Patriot League championship game, Bucknell went all the way across the country and picked off top-seeded Arizona 65-54 in the opening round of the National Invitation Tournament. Star center Mike Muscala recorded 20 points, nine rebounds, four blocks and three assists, and even more impressively, the Bison put the game away with a 9-0 run after Muscala had fouled out with 2:59 to play. Playing in the 75-year-old NIT for the first time in program history, Bucknell defeated a member of the Pac-12 for the first time since 1951 (Arizona State). The Bison reached the 25-win mark (25-9) for the third time in program history. The Bison went ahead for good on a Cameron Ayers 3-pointer with 13:08 to play, and they eventually turned a two-point lead with 2:59 to play into an 11-point win with a terrific finish, highlighted by a huge Bryson Johnson 3-pointer with 50 seconds left.

Frontcourt standouts Mike Muscala and Joe Willman scored 18 points apiece, and top-seeded Bucknell used terrific defense and foul shooting to breeze past Lafayette 79-52 in the Patriot League Tournament semifinals. Bucknell was locked in on the Leopards’ 3-point shooters right from the start, and the Bison held the visitors to 1-for-9 from the arc in the first half. Despite shooting just 35.3 percent themselves, Bucknell raced to a 40-20 halftime lead thanks to a defense that forced 12 turnovers and held the Leopards to eight total field goals in 23 attempts. The Bison only had two first-half turnovers and went 19-for-19 from the foul line to set a tournament record.

Another successful season of Bucknell basketball came to an end when Western Athletic Conference regular-season champion Nevada held off a gutsy Bison comeback effort and prevailed 75-67 in the second round of the National Invitation Tournament before a spirited crowd of 6,927 at the Lawlor Events Center. Mike Muscala had another huge game with 25 points and 15 rebounds, and Cameron Ayers added 21 for the Bison. Nevada, which won the WAC regular-season title with a 13-1 record before falling to Louisiana Tech in the tournament semifinals, made big runs at the start of the game and at the end of the first half, which had Bucknell fighting from behind all day. But the Bison, who trailed 42-29 at the half, showed plenty of fight to make it a one-possession game in the final minutes.

THE SHOT!
In 2005, Bucknell captured its very first Patriot League championship by defeating Holy Cross on its home floor, 61-57. For the Bison, the postseason fun didn’t end at the Hart Center. The following Sunday evening, fans packed an on-campus auditorium for the NCAA Tournament Selection Show, eagerly awaiting word on Bucknell’s “Big Dance” destination. Soon they learned that the 14th-seeded Bison would be headed to the Ford Center in Oklahoma City to face the No. 3 seed — the mighty Kansas Jayhawks. The excitement quickly turned to reality, considering Kansas had been ranked No. 1 in the nation for most of the year (and were still ranked first in the RPI), and the Jayhawks had already been to 33 NCAA Tournaments and 12 Final Fours. Kansas’ hallowed history hardly intimidated the Bison, however, as Kevin Bettencourt’s four-point play in the opening moments got them going, and the contest would soon develop into an “Instant Classic.” Bucknell led for most of the first half, and by as many as seven points, before Kansas closed the half on a 10-0 run to take a 31-28 lead to the locker room. There were five lead changes and four ties over the first 12 minutes of the second half, and the Bison seemingly had the game in hand when Abe Badmus stroked two free throws to put Bucknell up 62-57 with 1:22 to play. But Kansas quickly rallied for a 63-62 lead behind six straight free throws, the last two by Keith Langford with 25 seconds left. The Bison were hardly done, though, as Chris McNaughton spun into the paint and rattled in a short jump-hook over All-American Wayne Simien with 10.5 seconds left (see photo at left). When Simien’s 15-foot jumper at the buzzer drew only iron, a sea of orange jerseys flooded the Ford Center hardwood. Not only did the 64-63 victory snatch the attention of the nation, but it was the historic first NCAA Tournament win for Bucknell and the Patriot League. Two days later the Bison had to somehow put the Kansas victory in the rear view mirror and take on a very talented Wisconsin team that had captured the Big Ten regular-season title. And it was a very game effort, indeed. Bucknell shook off an early 13-point deficit and rallied to take the lead as late as the nine-minute mark of the second half. But the Badgers had too much down the stretch and escaped with a 71-62 victory, despite an eye-popping 23-point showing from McNaughton, who made 10 of 14 shots from the field going toe-to-toe with First Team All-Big Ten selection Mike Wilkinson. A true “Cinderella Story,” the Bison for a few days in March captured the imaginations of the sporting world, both for their inspired play on the floor and their poise, composure and sportsmanship off it. A fairy tale, indeed.
Bucknell made a return trip to the NCAA Tournament in 2006, but this time the scenario was a bit different. In 2005 the Bison were seeded 14th, and to many they were extreme underdogs going into the Kansas game. This time, however, Bucknell was a No. 9 seed — the highest ever for a Patriot League team — and there would be no more sneaking up on anyone. That didn’t mean that Bucknell’s first-round opponent was any pushover. Hardly. The Bison drew Southeastern Conference juggernaut Arkansas, powered by eventual NBA lottery pick Ronnie Brewer. Making things even tougher was that the game was played in Dallas, just a short drive from Fayetteville. In fact, the Razorbacks had won 19 straight games in Dallas, where they maintain their largest alumni base. Several hundred orange-clad Bison fans made the trek to the posh American Airlines Center, making for a spirited atmosphere. And for the second year in a row, the “Sojka Psychos” had to make plans for a long weekend. The gritty, battle-tested Bucknell squad used some lights-out 3-point shooting and its typical stingy defense to outlast the Hogs 59-55. Charles Lee equaled his career high with 24 points and fellow senior co-captain Kevin Bettencourt knocked down five 3-pointers and scored 18 points for the Bison. While Lee and Bettencourt played obvious starring roles, it was junior point guard Abe Badmus and junior reserve forward Donald Brown who came up big down the stretch. Badmus, who did not attempt a single field goal all day yet finished with seven assists and only two turnovers in 34 minutes, knocked down two monumental free throws with 0:07 left to stretch a twopoint lead to four. Brown came down with two critical late rebounds, and with the game tied at 55-55 with just over a minute to play, he just beat a 10-second backcourt violation, alertly finding Lee open under the basket for the go-ahead layup. In the second round, Bucknell ran into Memphis, the No. 1 seed in the Oakland Regional, in an attempt to make it to the Sweet 16 for the first time in school history. Things looked good early, as the Bison sprinted to an early 10-4 lead behind 3-pointers from Lee and Bettencourt, but the athletic Tigers responded with a 20-2 run and eventually won 72-56. Chris McNaughton led Bucknell with 15 points, while captains Bettencourt and Lee had 12 and 11, respectively, in their final game of their brilliant careers. While the college basketball world may not have been quite as stunned this time around, chapter two of this Bison fairy tale was just as sweet.
A year earlier, Bucknell was the “darling of the dance.” The prestigious private school with an enrollment of about 3,400 that stunned perennial power Kansas in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The victory made national headlines as the first-ever NCAA triumph for the Bison, or any Patriot League school for that matter. The team earned an ESPY award in the “Best Upset” category and spent the summer reliving the biggest win in the history of the program. As the 2005-06 campaign started, with virtually the entire roster returning intact, everyone wanted to know what Bucknell could do for an encore. And despite heaping expectations, both internal and external, all the Bison did was fashion their finest season yet. Even with a large “bulls-eye” on its back every night, Bucknell shattered the school victory record with a fancy 27-5 ledger, repeated as Patriot League champion and made a return trip to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after a thrilling 59-55 win over Arkansas. The Bison carried the sixth-best record in the nation — and the highest graduation rate (100%) — entering the NCAA Tournament. Among its impressive non-conference victories were road wins at then-No. 17 and eventual Big East champion Syracuse and DePaul, as well as a home victory over Atlantic-10 finalist Saint Joseph’s. The Bison really made their mark in Patriot League play, becoming the first team in the 16-year history of the conference to run the table, going a perfect 14-0. Three more double-digit wins in the Patriot League Tournament — capped by an impressive 74-59 win over Holy Cross — brought them a second straight league title. Then they earned a No. 9 seed in the NCAA Tournament, by far the highest in school and league history. Once in the field of 65, the Bison made sure their weekend in Dallas would be a long one. With co-captains Charles Lee and Kevin Bettencourt combining for nine 3-pointers and 42 points, Bucknell knocked off Southeastern Conference power Arkansas in the first round, validating the Kansas victory. In the round of 32, Bucknell ran into top-seeded Memphis, and the Conference USA champ wore down the Bison with its speed, strength and depth. Bucknell whittled a 19-point deficit down to nine in the second half, but the Tigers just had too much down the stretch, and the magical season that nobody wanted to end did just that on a rainy Sunday in Dallas. Of Bucknell’s five losses in 2005-06, three came at the hands of No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament — Memphis, Duke and Villanova. Northern Iowa, which topped Bucknell in double overtime in an ESPN BracketBusters classic, earned an at-large bid out of the highly respected Missouri Valley Conference and was also nationally ranked at times during the season. Speaking of national rankings, in 2005-06 Bucknell also achieved its first-ever listing in a national poll. On Feb. 13 the Bison were ranked 24th in both the Associated Press Poll and the ESPN/USA TODAY Coaches’ Poll. Bucknell was also ranked 25th in the final Coaches’ Poll of the season. While not without star power, Bucknell’s greatest asset was its depth and its unselfish team play, particularly on defense. Armed with a tricky matchup zone defense, the Bison entered the NCAA Tournament ranked second nationally in scoring defense (55.3). In 32 games in 2005-06 they allowed 60 or more points only nine times and 70 or more only five times, while on nine occasions they kept teams under 50.
It started with a 74-52 win at Navy on Jan. 7 and ended with a 74-59 victory over Holy Cross in the Patriot League championship game at Sojka Pavilion. A perfect record, something that had never been done before in the 16-year history of the Patriot League. An unprecedented 14-0 regular-season mark and three more wins in the tournament gave the Bison 17 straight conference triumphs in 2006. Those 17 victories came in all shapes and sizes. There were lopsided wins — two by 30 or more points, and four by 20 or more — and there were some close calls, most notably in Worcester, Mass., where the Bison miraculously rallied from 15 down with 16 minutes to play to win 57-52. When Bucknell topped Army 70-47 on Senior Night at Sojka Pavilion in the regular-season finale, the Orange & Blue became the first team to run the table in Patriot League play. Previously, six teams had finished with one loss, including Bucknell in 1993 (13-1). Additionally, the Bison became the 200th Division I team in NCAA history to go unbeaten in their conference, and the 90th to do so with at least 14 wins. Bucknell joined Gonzaga (14-0 in the West Coast Conference) and George Washington (16-0 in the Atlantic 10) as the only teams in the country to finish unbeaten in its league in 2005-06. As the No. 1 seed, the Bison earned the right to play at home throughout the Patriot League Tournament, no small factor since they hadn’t lost to a league foe at Sojka Pavilion in four years. With large, partisan crowds at their backs, the Bison outlasted Army, 59-47, in the first round and American, 64-50, in the semifinals. That set up a rematch with No. 2 seed Holy Cross in the championship game. The previous year the seeds were reversed, and Bucknell won the title on the Crusaders’ home floor. With ESPN2 cameras in place, Holy Cross came out with revenge on its mind and trailed by only four at the half. But senior captains Kevin Bettencourt and Charles Lee put the Bison on their backs, hitting one critical shot after another, including nine 3-pointers between them, and Bucknell pulled away with a crushing 15-2 run. At the eight-minute mark the Bison had a commanding 60-44 lead, and soon after most of the crowd of 4,110 was dancing on the floor and the Sojka Pavilion nets were cut down for the first time. Following the game Lee was named Patriot League Tournament MVP, making him the first repeat winner of the award in league history. Lee registered 16 points, seven rebounds, four steals and three assists in the championship game, and he logged 43 points in the three tournament games. Bettencourt, who hit six 3-pointers and scored 23 points in the title contest, and center Chris McNaughton were also named to the all-tournament team. Donald Brown also had a magnificent tournament, capped by a 14-point, five-rebound performance against Holy Cross.

bucknell’s retired jerseys On Saturday, Feb. 25, 2006, former Bucknell basketball stars Hal Danzig and Al Leslie became the first two members of the men’s program to have their jerseys retired. The ceremony took place at halftime of Bucknell’s men’s basketball game against Army. Danzig and Leslie are both members of the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, and they are widely considered the program’s best players of their respective eras and two of the greatest in the history of Bison basketball. Leslie’s No. 22 jersey and Danzig’s No. 44 uniform are now permanently hung on the wall of Sojka Pavilion’s East Concourse.

Harold M. “Hal” Danzig of the Class of 1959 was one of the first true basketball superstars to play at Bucknell. A two-time All-East selection and an Honorable Mention All-American as a senior, Danzig was the starting center on three of Bucknell’s all-time great teams, and he holds school rebounding records that many consider to be unbreakable. When Danzig joined the Bucknell varsity squad in 1956-57, the Bison had won 16 games in a season only once in their history. They collected that exact number of wins in each of his three varsity seasons, amassing a 48-23 overall record. Nicknamed “Moose,” Danzig was the team’s leading scorer all three years and totalled 1,163 career points. At the time, that was the second-highest point total in school history, only 20 off the record held then by Joe Gallagher. As a junior he compiled what was then a school-record 426 points. But Danzig is best known today for his extraordinary rebounding totals. He hauled in 1,134 rebounds in three seasons. More than 45 years later, no Bison player has come within 148 rebounds of that impressive total. He increased his yearly rebounding average each season, from 15.0 to 16.1 to a whopping 16.8 rebounds per game. His career rebounding average of 15.97 per game is staggering. Co-captain of the 1958-59 Bucknell team, Danzig was named to the ECAC All-East and Associated Press All-Pennsylvania teams for two consecutive years and was on the All-Middle Atlantic Conference University Division first team and Palestra All-Opponent second team as a senior. The 6’6”, 230-pounder received Honorable Mention United Press International (UPI) All-America Honors in 1959, and he was selected to participate in two senior all-star games. Danzig was inducted into the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame as a member of its fifth class in 1983. Danzig came to Bucknell from East High School in Rochester, New York. His son, Carl, later served as an assistant coach at Bucknell under both Charlie Woollum and Pat Flannery.

Albert V. Leslie is widely considered Bucknell’s greatest men’s basketball player. A Baltimore native and graduate of the McDonogh School, Leslie was a prodigious scorer during his four years with the Orange & Blue, despite being lightly recruited out of high school as a 6’3” center. At Bucknell he played guard and some small forward, and he shattered school records for points in a game (45), season (564) and career (1,973), records that still stood in the history books at the time of his jersey retirement in 2006. A 1981 Bucknell graduate, Leslie was selected by the Indiana Pacers in the second round of the NBA Draft and was the team’s last cut before the start of the regular season. He later played briefly for the Rochester Zeniths of the Continental Basketball Association. Leslie, who was the first Bison player to be taken in the NBA Draft, later returned to Bucknell as an assistant coach for two seasons. Leslie led the Bison to school victory records in his sophomore (18-7) and junior (20-7) years, as well as two consecutive East Coast Conference Western Section titles. He was a three-time All-ECC selection, and in 1980 he was an all-district pick by the U.S. Basketball Writers’ Association. A year later Leslie earned All-East plaudits, and he won the Kribbs Award as team MVP three straight years. His season total of 564 points in 1979-80 shattered a school record that had stood since the 1960-61 season. His 20.9 scoring average was second-best in school history, and in January of his junior year Leslie poured in a record 45 points in a 105-89 victory over American University. As a senior, Leslie tallied 537 points and had another 40-point game (41) against West Chester. He finished his career with an 18.1 scoring average, thirdbest in Bison annals. He started the final 105 games of his career and scored in double figures in all but 11 of them. Called “the finest player ever to wear a Bucknell basketball uniform” by his head coach, Charlie Woollum, Leslie was inducted into the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame in 1986.

Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame
Chris Simpson entered the Hall of Fame in 2011. The Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, established in 1979 to honor the very best in the history of Bucknell athletics, welcomed six new members this fall when the Class of 2012 was inducted during ceremonies on Homecoming Weekend. One year earlier, two prominent members of the men’s basketball program joined this prestigious club. Pat Flannery ‘80 and Chris Simpson ‘94 were both inducted in 2011, making them the 46th and 47th members of the Bucknell basketball family to be inducted. Flannery might be best-known for coaching the most successful team in Bucknell men’s basketball history in 2005-06, but he was also a terrific point guard on some very good teams for coach Charlie Woollum. He captained the 1979-80 Bison team that finished 20-7, and he remains the only player ever to lead the Bison in assists for four straight years. Flannery retired as head coach after the 2007-08 season with a final record of 234-178 (.568) at Bucknell. He will always be remembered for building the 2005 and 2006 championship teams that went on to post the first NCAA Tournament wins in school history. Simpson earned First Team All-Patriot League honors while leading the Bison in scoring in both 1992-93 and 1993-94. His 20.5 points-per-game average as a senior in 1993-94 is the third-highest single-season mark in program history, and he is one of only seven Bison players ever to score more than 20 points per game over a full season. Simpson’s 1,229 career points currently rank 13th on Bucknell’s all-time list. Prior to the 2011 class, the most recent inductee was J.R. Holden in 2008. Holden gained fame for his heroic exploits with CSKA Moscow and the Russian National Team, particularly after he hit the game-winning shot in the championship game of the 2007 European Championship, giving Russia a spot in the 2008 Olympics. But his Bucknell career was also noteworthy, as he transformed from a lightly recruited guard into a two-time First Team All-Patriot League selection. Bill Courtney, a 2007 inductee, was one of the top scorers in program history. As a junior he set the school single-season scoring record with 619 points — a record that still stands — and he also led the team in assists that season. His 1,499 career points ranked fifth in school history at the time of his graduation and now ranks eighth. Patrick King, one of the more inspiring student-athletes to be enshrined in the Hall, was
inducted in 2006. A walk-on to the Bison men’s basketball squad, King made his way through the junior varsity ranks, eventually earned a starting forward position and as a senior was named Patriot League Player of the Year after averaging 20.3 points per game. In 2005 Harvey Carter ‘73 and Mike Bright ‘93 were inducted. Carter was a three-year starter and two year captain of the Bison basketball team. He was a First Team All-Middle Atlantic Conference selection as a senior in 1972-73, when he led the team in scoring at 14.2 points per game under coach Jim Valvano. Bright was a top player on Bucknell’s outstanding teams of the early 1990s. He was the Patriot League Player of the Year as a senior in 1993, when he led the Bison to a 23-6 record and the league’s regular-season title. Outstanding in all phases of the game, Bright is Bucknell’s No. 3 all-time scorer with 1,670 points, trailing only fellow Hall of Famers Al Leslie (1,973) and Bob Barry (1,809). Mike Joseph, a member of the Class of 1990, was a 2003 Hall of Fame inductee. Joseph was a three-year starter and a member of two East Coast Conference championship squads that advanced to the NCAA Tournament. He was a two-time All-ECC selection and set nine Bucknell records, including the marks for career assists, free throws, free-throw percentage and 3-point percentage. Now Bucknell’s No. 6 all-time scorer, Joseph’s .884 career free-throw percentage ranks 14th in NCAA history. Former basketball stars Ted Aceto and Mike Butts, both of the Bucknell Class of 1989 were members of the Hall of Fame Class of 2000. Aceto lettered four times in basketball and three times in baseball (he missed his junior year with an injury). He scored 1,118 points in his career on the hardwood, and helped the Bison earn their only two trips ever to the NCAA Tournament in 1987 and 1989. On the diamond, he was a first team all-conference shortstop in 1989 when he led the league and ranked 12th in the nation with a .444 average. His .408 career batting average still stands as a Bucknell record. Butts was the leading scorer on both the 1987 and 1989 NCAA men’s basketball teams for the Bison. He is one of just two players in Bucknell history with over 1,300 (1,355) points and 850 (860) rebounds in a career. He continues to hold game, season and career blocked shot records for the Orange and Blue, and was a two-time All-ECC First Team honoree. As a senior, he was honorable mention All-East and honorable mention All-America. In addition, he excelled in the classroom and was a two-time Academic All-America selection. Bill Gravely ’77, a former track and field standout and basketball player, was inducted in 1998. Gravely, who still holds indoor and outdoor triple jump records, played basketball for three seasons. In 1997, former Bison basketball players Ellis Harley ’59 and Pete Fry ’32 were inducted into the Hall. Harley starred in both basketball and baseball, and at the time of his graduation, ranked fifth in school history with 757 career points. He co-captained the Bison as a junior and senior, and played on three straight teams that won 16 games. Harley has been a Lewisburg resident for more than 30 years, served as Bucknell’s associate vice president for finance until his recent retirement. Fry, who died in April 1997, played four sports at Bucknell. He was a leading scorer on the hardwood for the Orange and Blue, a back and end with the football team, a star pitcher and outfielder with the baseball team, and a member of the track and field program. Longtime Bucknell coach Charlie Woollum was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1995. Wool-
lum coached from 1975-94 and had a 19-year record of 318-221. That victory total is higher than that of any other coach in any one sport in Bucknell’s intercollegiate athletic history. Woollum retired after serving six seasons as head coach at William & Mary. Alvin F. “Doggie” Julian is another member of the Hall of Fame. Julian is also a member of the National Basketball Hall of Fame. In addition to a distinguished career as an athlete at Bucknell, Julian was a highly successful coach at Muhlenberg, Holy Cross and Dartmouth, and his 1947 Holy Cross team, led by Bob Cousy and George Kaftan, won the NCAA title. Other members of the Bucknell Hall of Fame include Mal Musser ’18, who played and coached at Bucknell and is the only basketball coach other than Woollum and Pat Flannery to win more than 100 games with the Bison; George Haines ’43, Joe Gallagher ’52, Joe Steiner ’62, Jim Wherry ’70, Bob Barry ’80 and Al Leslie ’81, all of whom held the school scoring record when they graduated; Hal Danzig ’59, the career rebounding leader; and John Anderson 1905, who scored 80 points in a single game. Perhaps the most famous member of the Hall of Fame is Christy Mathewson, an outstanding athlete at Bucknell who is also a member of the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y.

The Plan for Bucknell Bucknell is a unique national university where liberal arts and professional programs complement each other, where 3,500 full-time students are educated for a lifetime of critical thinking and strong leadership. For more than 160 years, the University has remained true to its fundamental purpose: to educate and prepare students for lives that make a difference and have a positive impact on the world. In keeping with that purpose, the University has developed The Plan for Bucknell, which includes its collective vision — “To provide students with the premier undergraduate experience in American higher education.” Students helped shape this vision because of their confidence in the University. The Plan comprises five strategies: Strengthen the Academic Core aims to ensure that a Bucknell education is challenging and engaging, with openness to new ideas and a culture of innovation; Deepen the Residential Learning Experience will provide a residential learning and living experience that complements the academic program, integrates the athletics and recreation program and promotes personal growth and development and civic and ethical responsibility; Enhance Diversity is a commitment to diversity in all its forms within a civil and supportive environment of open exchange to prepare Bucknell graduates to live and work in a globally integrated and intercultural world; Build Bridges will bring the world to Bucknell — through visiting scholars and sports teams, international students and alumni, guest speakers, international focus semesters, and electronic communications — and bring Bucknell to the world through strategic partnerships and community engagement activities as well as opportunities for off-campus study and faculty research; Secure Our Financial Future will secure resources necessary to engage new opportunities, lessen dependence on tuition, and ensure our financial future. The Plan for Bucknell was unanimously approved by the Board of Trustees on April 29, 2006, having previously been approved by the students and faculty. We have begun implementing it and are determined to make it a reality over the next decade.

Athletics Facilities

kenneth g. langone athletics and recreation center
he Bucknell University Department of Athletics and Recreation prides itself on setting the standard of excellence when it comes to success both on the playing fields and in the classroom. With 17 Patriot League Presidents’ Cups in 22 years, national leadership in graduation rates, 121 Capital One Academic All-Americans since 1970 and 127 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes in 22 years, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class in terms of upholding the scholar-athlete model. The 2003 addition of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center, one of the finest collegiate athletics and recreation venues of its kind, ensures the continuation of that success. The facility enhances each of Bucknell’s 27 varsity programs and greatly expands the scope of its growing intramural and recreational sports offerings. A visually appealing structure located along Moore Avenue on the “downhill” side of campus, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center was designed to reach out to all members of the campus community, including the student body, varsity student-athletes, faculty, staff and alumni. Three primary venues lie within the facility: the Arthur D. Kinney Jr. Natatorium, the 4,000-seat Gary A. Sojka Pavilion and the Krebs Family Fitness Center. Other features include a new location for the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, a display of Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, a sports medicine and athletic training suite, classrooms, modern offices for coaches and staff
Fields Complex, which encompasses Depew Field (baseball), Becker Field (softball) and the adjoining Graham Field (Astroturf for field hockey and women’s lacrosse) and Emmitt Field (natural grass for soccer) venues that are complemented by the beautiful Holmes Stadium. A closer look behind the walls of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center:
Ramer Schaffner Memorial Hall
Ramer Schaffner Memorial Hall greets guests as they enter the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center. The entry hall features the busts of 2nd Lt. George H. Ramer and 1st Lt. Dwite H. Schaffner, Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, and provides access to Gerhard Fieldhouse and the Krebs Family Fitness Center on the ground level. Guests may proceed to the second level to enter Davis Gym, administrative offices and the Hall of Fame, which celebrates Bucknell’s Patriot League championships and other notable feats.
Krebs Fitness Center
and increased locker room space for varsity and recreational athletes. The facility is named in honor of Ken Langone, a 1957 Bucknell graduate who, along with his wife Elaine, pledged $11 million toward the center’s construction. Langone was a member of the university Board of Trustees from 1980 to 1996. One of the special qualities of the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the manner in which it supplements the pre-existing facilities. The new construction surrounds Gerhard Fieldhouse and historic Davis Gymnasium, which has been restored as a competition venue for the Bison volleyball and wrestling teams, as well as intramural, recreation and other varsity practice activities. As Bucknell continues to strive toward its mission of setting the standard of excellence in college athletics, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the centerpiece in an already impressive cache of athletics facilities that includes the 13,100-seat Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium and its FieldTurf and 8-lane track surface; the scenic Bucknell Golf Club; and the spacious West
Promoting lifetime wellness, the Krebs Family Fitness Center contains state-of-the-art cardiovascular and strength conditioning equipment. The 16,000-square-foot center includes over 175 positions for equipment within three distinct areas. The first-level cardiovascular and pin-select equipment is open for student, faculty and staff use at all times. Directly above, the mezzanine also contains cardio equipment, with scenic views of the campus and natatorium. The third area, the Berger Family Weight Room, sits on the former site of Freas-Rooke Pool, and is used for instructional free-weight training and varsity workouts. The facility received all new weightlifting equipment in the summer of 2010.
practices and recreational swimming to occur simultaneously. Natatorium amenities include seating for 500 spectators, restrooms, separated varsity and visiting team locker rooms, a poolside classroom, sauna, steam room and concession stands. Already Kinney Natatorium has played host to several major events, most notably the 2005 NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship. The facility has also served as host of five Patriot League Swimming and Diving Championships, two Eastern Water Polo Championships and an exhibition game against the U.S. women’s water polo national team, drawing rave reviews at each. Beginning in the spring of 2005, the Pennsylvania state swimming championships moved to Kinney Natatorium. The facility has proven to be quite a home pool advantage for Bucknell, which became the first institution in league history to capture both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving championships in the same season in 2003. A total of 20 meet records and 16 league marks fell that weekend.
Sojka Pavilion
Sojka Pavilion provides the Bison men’s and women’s basketball programs with one of the finest arenas in the East. A “first-class” venue capable of seating 4,000 spectators for sporting and other campus events, the pavilion has walk-down access to all seats and unobstructed views of the playing surface or concert stage for all spectators. The seating bowl features approximately 1,500 fixed seats and 2,500 retractable seats, enabling an “expandable” open floor area with sufficient space for three basketball courts for recreational activities and varsity practices. The spacious upperlevel concourse includes two concession areas, restrooms, handicapped seating and several suites that overlook the floor. Behind the scenes, on the floor level, Sojka Pavilion provides a green room for performance acts and other functions, a catering kitchen for special events, ticket windows, locker room space for home and visiting teams and officials, and a loading dock capable of accommodating team buses and production trucks for televised events. Dozens of nationally televised basketball games have been aired from Sojka Pavilion, including the ESPN2 broadcasts of the 2006 and 2011 Patriot League championship game and an ESPN360 airing of the Bucknell-Villanova men’s game that drew a school-record crowd of 4,433.
Kinney Natatorium
Kinney Natatorium features a 50-meter by 25-yard Olympic class pool, which accommodates four varsity programs — men’s and women’s swimming and diving and men’s and women’s water polo — while enhancing the recreational aquatics opportunities for the Bucknell community. The pool itself features two moveable bulkheads, allowing for multiple team

Athletics Facilities Whether it is the varsity student-athlete, the intramurals participant or the fitness buff looking for a nice workout, members of the Bucknell community benefit from a wide array of first-class athletics facilities. The completion of the Kenneth Langone Athletics & Recreation Center in 2003 highlighted a facilities boon at Bucknell. Sojka Pavilion, Kinney Natatorium and the Krebs Family Fitness Center are the centerpieces of the sparkling new indoor facility, nicely complementing the renovated Davis Gym and Gerhard Fieldhouse, all of which lie under the same roof. Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium is the largest of the outdoor facilities, with 13,100 seats surrounding the FieldTurf playing surface and 8-lane track. Holmes Stadium, completed in 2007, is an impressive covered grandstand featuring all chair-back seating, along with the accompanying support facilities (locker rooms, athletic training room, press box, concession/merchandise stand, etc.) that service both Emmitt Field (natural grass for soccer) and Graham Field (AstroTurf for field hockey and women’s lacrosse). The next phase of the West Fields improvement project includes significant upgrades for baseball and softball. Both diamonds recently received new playing surfaces. FieldTurf at Depew Field (baseball) was laid in time for the start of the 2010 season, while new sod was recently installed in the outfield of Becker Field (softball). Both facilities also now have new dugouts, fencing and scoreboards, as well a brick entry plaza, and fundraising continues for the final phase: new grandstands and press boxes for both venues. Also located on the western end of campus are numerous grass fields for intramurals and recreation, as well as Bucknell’s own highly regarded 18-hole golf course, the Bucknell Golf Club. Just completed last year on the BGC property is a new indoor/outdoor Instructional Golf Facility, which provides a year-round training center for the Bison golf teams. The Bison rowing team has its own Boathouse located about 10 miles south of campus, along the scenic Susquehanna River. That is the only athletics facility that is not located within a short walk from the center of campus, but the rowing team now has its own brand new erg room next to Davis Gym. The quality and location of these venues makes Bucknell one of the most sports-friendly campuses in the nation.

University Administration bucknell’s 17th PRESIDENT DR. john c. bravman Dr. John C. Bravman began his official duties as Bucknell University’s 17th president on July 1, 2010. He came to Bucknell from Stanford University, where he oversaw the undergraduate program as the FreemanThornton Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education and served as dean of the Freshman-Sophomore Residential College, which he founded in 1999. As vice provost for undergraduate education, Bravman helped lead a curricular transformation that introduced new pedagogies, invigorated Stanford’s system of residential education, and created the Stanford Summer Engineering Academy for entering Stanford undergraduates from under-resourced school districts. As one of Stanford’s pre-eminent leaders, Bravman was a strong and visible presence on behalf of the university around the nation and the globe. A renowned scholar in the field of thin-film materials, he was the Bing Centennial Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and a professor of electrical engineering by courtesy of that department in recognition of his related achievements. He won almost every Stanford teaching and advising award, including the Walter J. Gores Award, Stanford’s highest teaching honor, and the Kenneth M. Cuthbertson Award for Exceptional Contributions to Stanford. He is only the second person in Stanford’s history to receive both honors. Stanford also established the John C. Bravman Family Scholarship Fund, securing more than $3 million for scholarships in a few short weeks before Bravman completed his tenure there. Bravman’s dedication to excellence in undergraduate education has already shaped his presidency at Bucknell. He strongly supports the five strategic goals of The Plan for Bucknell: strengthening the academic core, deepening the residential learning experience, enhancing diversity, building bridges to the world and securing the University’s financial future. He began work immediately to advance Bucknell’s campus master plan, which aims to provide the academic and residential facilities necessary for the premier student experience for current and future generations. During Bravman’s first year as president, the University broke ground on infrastructure for Academic West, the first academic building
constructed at Bucknell since 2004, which will add 70,000 square feet of classrooms, research spaces and faculty offices. Bravman also continues to strengthen the relationship between the University and downtown Lewisburg, where Bucknell recently renovated several University properties, including the Campus Theatre, the old Post Office Building, and the Entrepreneurs Incubator, Small Business Development Center and Downtown Art Gallery. In his earliest months at Bucknell, Bravman initiated an in-depth examination of the quality of student life by creating the Campus Climate Task Force. This group of faculty, staff and students assessed student views and actions related to personal responsibility and recommended ways to improve the University experience for all students. Ongoing campus dialogue about expectations of students has been firmly established as a top presidential priority. He has steadily built a foundation of support through numerous meetings and speaking engagements with Bucknellians across the country and overseas. In October 2012, Bucknell will initiate the public phase of the largest comprehensive campaign in its history, with a goal of raising $500 million. Born in 1957, Bravman grew up in New York City and on Long Island. He completed his bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degree in materials science and engineering at Stanford. He has published more than 160 peer-reviewed articles and taught primarily in the fields of materials structure and analysis, thin-film mechanical phenomena, microelectronic reliability and high-temperature superconductivity. A tenured professor of electrical engineering, he recently patented two coatings that may make coronary stents safer for heart-disease patients. John is married to Dr. Wendelin Wright, an associate professor of mechanical and chemical engineering at Bucknell. They have two young sons, Cole and Cooper. John has two older sons, Christopher and Matthew.

Athletics Administration John P. hardt
The Hardt File . . .
Director of athletics & RecreatIon At the helm of a proud and flourishing Bison athletics program is director of athletics and recreation John Hardt, who is now in his 13th year at Bucknell and his 27th year in athletics administration. Hardt administers a broad-based sports program with a proud and successful history. Since his arrival, Hardt has orchestrated one of the nation’s most assertive facilities overhauls, built and maintained relationships with major donors, restructured the athletics administration in order to help Bucknell stay ahead of the curve in the fast-paced world of Division I athletics and built upon Bucknell’s long-standing tradition of scholar-athlete excellence. Hardt is privileged to oversee a varsity athletics program that has long been at the head of the class in the Patriot League, both on the playing fields and in the classroom. From Presidents’ Cups to Academic All-Americans to the nation’s best graduation rate, Bison Athletics carries a proud heritage. While building on Bucknell’s athletic and academic excellence is paramount, Hardt has also incorporated progressive ideas in the area of external relations. Initiatives such as the Bison Magazine online video series, a new graphics identity package, an informative and visually appealing athletics website and a revamped Bison Club all serve to bring Bison Athletics into the homes of its supporters. During his productive tenure at Bucknell, Hardt has overseen 11 consecutive years of growth in Bison Club donations, including a record $2.2 million in 2011-12, and he has seen the program benefit from several major gifts. While the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the crown jewel of a successful university fundraising campaign, other significant offerings include a $7.6 million donation from William Graham — one of the largest in university history — which was directed toward women’s athletics and the successful restoration of wrestling to varsity status. Graham Field, the AstroTurf venue at the West Fields, was also a result of that gift. Other major gifts have included the funding of the FieldTurf playing surface and new lighting in Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium, the Holmes Stadium grandstand/ press box facility that supports both Graham Field and Emmitt Field, the ongoing upgrades to the baseball and softball facilities, a brand new instructional golf center, as well as endowments for football, track and field, water polo and swimming and diving. At Bucknell, Hardt has initiated groundbreaking deals in the area of apparel (adidas), marketing (Nelligan Sports Marketing) and sports medicine (Geisinger Sports Medicine). While much has been achieved in the last 12 years, Hardt’s vision for Bison Athletics carries well into the future. Working with campus and department leadership, he has developed a long-range plan for Bucknell Athletics that meshes with the University’s strategic plan, entitled The Plan for Bucknell. Hardt’s plan focuses on future facilities upgrades, places an emphasis on diversity and gender equity, and promises the continued commitment to a student-centered athletics and recreation pro-

gram that adheres to the student-athlete ideal. In the fall of 2011, Hardt announced the launching of the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy, a program designed identify, develop, challenge and support student-athletes and coaches in their continual quest to become leaders in academics, in athletics and in life. Hardt, who received the Gen. Robert R. Neyland Outstanding Athletic Director Award in March 2008 the All-American Football Foundation’s 91st Banquet of Champions, also remains very active in athletics governance at the national level. In 2006-07 he served as chair of the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Committee, he recently completed a four-year term on the Division I Baseball Committee, and in 2012 he earned a presigious post on the NCAA Division I Leadership Council. Hardt began his tenure at Bucknell on February 15, 2000, after serving four years as associate director of athletics at Michigan State University. While there, Hardt supervised the sports medicine staff, strength and conditioning, equipment operations, computing and tech services and NCAA/Big Ten rules compliance. In addition, he handled legal and contractual issues for the department. Prior to his tenure at MSU, Hardt spent five years at Syracuse University as director of athletic compliance and four years with the NCAA’s national office as a compliance representative. A native Iowan, Hardt is a 1984 honors graduate of the University of Iowa, and he was a member of the Hawkeyes’ 1982 Rose Bowl football team. He later earned his law degree from Iowa and is a doctoral candidate in Iowa’s College of Education.

ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT The Department of Athletics and Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence for intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher education, thereby advancing and drawing attention to the mission, core values, and educational goals of Bucknell University. The Department believes that studentathletes’ academic programs must be their first priority. It is therefore committed to maintaining Bucknell’s high national ranking for student-athletes’ graduation rates and for producing Academic All-Americans, and to continued leadership of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nominations, based on grade-point averages. The coaches’ and staff’s paramount responsibility is maintaining academic priorities and supporting student-athletes’ education, even while providing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athletic opportunities Bucknell student-athletes seek. Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by encouraging personal health, development, and balance among intellectual, social, civic, and physical pursuits; by celebrating challenge and com-
petition; and by preparing participants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athletic programs and recreational opportunities aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsmanship, and spirit. In creating shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff, as well as alumni, family, and friends, the Department’s programs add substantially to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long relationships with Bucknell. The Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the highest extramural
level, in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of competition maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Bucknell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracurricular endeavors and it helps position Bucknell apart from other National Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the competitive success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent contention for the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, reflects positively upon Bucknell’s student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings distinction and national recognition to Bucknell. A student-centered operation, the Department is committed to providing equitable opportunities to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. The Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the NCAA. The department is proud that so many of today’s exemplary Bison scholar-athletes will be tomorrow’s outstanding leaders.

The Bison Club The Bison Club Supports
Dave Paulsen chats with Steve Oristaglio’77 at a Bison Club reception in Boston.
Bucknell has continued its long tradition of academic and athletic excellence in large part because of the Bison Club, which provides support for all of Bucknell’s varsity intercollegiate athletics programs. Membership in the Bison Club helps the Bucknell athletics programs defray expenses of recruiting, equipment purchases and team travel. The Bison Club also sponsors the annual Senior Athletic Awards Banquet, one of the highlights of the athletic year at Bucknell. At the banquet, each qualified senior studentathlete is presented with a Bucknell ring or watch in recognition of his or her achievements. Special awards honor the most outstanding student-athletes in the senior class. In addition, the Bison Club sponsors the Bucknell Athletic Hall of Fame, which
now includes 223 members and is located on the second floor of Bucknell’s Gerhard Fieldhouse. Todd Newcomb, Bucknell Class of 1988, is in his 11th year as the director of the Bison Club. He is the second full-time director of the organization since it was founded nearly 50 years ago, following Jim Campbell, who served in that capacity for 11 years before retiring in the summer of 2000. In addition to his duties as senior associate director of athletics for external affairs, Newcomb coordinates fundraising efforts for all 27 men’s and women’s varsity sports, alumni functions and special events. Working closely with Newcomb and the director of annual giving to identify and solicit new annual donors to the Bison Club are fundraising assistants Tom Harvey and Terry Conrad. In addition, former Bucknell Hall of Fame lacrosse coach Sid Jamieson has served as a fundraising assistant for the past seven years. For more information on supporting the Bison Club, please call Todd Newcomb at 570-577-1771.

the voice of the bison: doug birdsong Doug Birdsong is in his 12th season as the “Voice of the Bison.” A 1987 Marshall University graduate who called play-by-play for college and high school athletics for 17 years before coming to Lewisburg, Birdsong was named Radio/TV Coordinator and Marketing Specialist at the University in July of 2000. In addition to calling the action for the Bison men’s basketball team, Birdsong is the play-by-play voice of the Bucknell football team, and he also broadcasts numerous events from many of Bucknell’s varsity programs. Birdsong has broadcast a number of NCAA Tournament contests during his tenure at Bucknell, and his call of the final seconds of the men’s basketball team’s 2005 upset of Kansas was repeated on a number of national outlets. He has also called NCAA action in women’s basketball, baseball, men’s lacrosse and men’s and women’s soccer. When Birdsong arrived at Bucknell he became just the second full-time “Voice of the Bison,” replacing Bob Behler, who held the position for more than 13 years before leaving to go to the University of Massachusetts. Birdsong came to Bucknell from AVC Communications in Cambridge, Ohio, where, as the Sports Director, he managed the play-by-play crews on five radio stations for 11 years. He called play-by-play for Muskingum College football, men’s and women’s basketball, softball and volleyball, and also handled the same duties plus baseball for area high schools. Birdsong was also responsible for writing and producing 11 daily sportscasts focusing on the six area high schools and Muskingum College. Prior to his experience at AVC, Birdsong worked at WTCR in Huntington, W.Va., after
graduating from Marshall. While he was a student at Marshall, he worked for WMUL as its Sports Director and called football, basketball and baseball for the Thundering Herd. In addition, Birdsong produced and hosted a weekly one-hour sports talk show. He has won numerous awards, including citations from the Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters for “Best Local Sporting Event Coverage” two years in a row. Birdsong has also won four Outstanding Sports Operation for Playby-Play citations from the Associated Press in Ohio, and two from the Associated Press in West Virginia. In 1999, he was chosen as the Eastern Ohio Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association Media Person of the Year.
What it Means to
be a bison “... the pursuit of athletics in college need not interfere with a fellow’s studies, and if you give a boy a well developed body his brain will get the benefit of it.” — Christy Mathewson, in his book Won in the Ninth, written in 1910 The term “student-athlete” signifies something extraordinary on the campus of Bucknell University. Being a Bison means that you have the rare blend of physical skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of collegiate athletics. Being a Bison also means that you are a scholar first and foremost. You believe that values associated with Division I athletics, such as time management, leadership, teamwork and grace under pressure, contribute to a well-rounded college experience. At Bucknell, our students, faculty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-athlete ideal that balances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics. Being a Bison means that you have pledged to be a student-athlete in the purest sense. In doing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime.
