NCAA/NIT Tournament Triumphs Bucknell has made six NCAA Tournament appearances (1987, 1989, 2005, 2006, 2011, 2013). 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. In 2013, Bucknell earned a No. 11 seed and fell to Butler in a back-and-forth contest. 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.

Washington, D.C., Dallas, Milwaukee winning streak, the longest in-season streak in school history. 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 (223) than any other program. Bucknell won back-to-back Patriot League Tournament titles in 2005 and 2006, and then won it again in 2011 and 2013. 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 84-19 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 18 times in 24 seasons, and they have played in the championship game a record 10 times. The men’s basketball program has contributed to Bucknell winning the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup — the annual all-sports title — 18 times in the 24-year history of the league, including 14 of the last 17 years.

Mike Muscala ’13 Debuts in NBA Mike Muscala ‘13 made history last winter by becoming the first Bucknell graduate ever to play in an NBA game. Muscala was the third Bison to be selected in the NBA Draft, when he was taken 44th overall by the Dallas Mavericks and then traded on draft night to the Atlanta Hawks. Muscala started out playing in Spain’s top division in 2013-14, while the Hawks retained his draft rights. When the Hawks suffered some injuries in their froncourt, they purchased Muscala’s contract from Rio Natura Monbus Obradoiro, where he had been averaging 14.6 points and a league-high 7.8 rebounds per game. Muscala’s NBA debut came on March 2, 2014 in Phoenix, and he recorded four points and five rebounds that night in a loss to the Suns. He went to log 3.8 points and 2.6 rebounds in 20 games, with a high of 15 points in a win over Milwaukee. Muscala is back with the Hawks in training camp this fall. While Muscala is the first Bison to see time in an NBA game, he is one of many Bucknell alumni to play basketball professionally overseas. One of the the most prominent Bison alums to play in Europe 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 (Brazil, Germany, Nigerian National Team) • BRYAN BAILEY '02 (Germany, Italy, Poland, Netherlands, Bosnia) • G.W. BOON '11 (Slovakia) • DONALD BROWN '07 (Iceland) • BRYAN COHEN '12 (Israel) • BRIAN FITZPATRICK ‘14 (Greece) • JOHN GRIFFIN '08 (Germany, Slovakia) • BRYSON JOHNSON ‘13 (Germany) • BOAKAI LALUGBA '04 (France, Sweden, Finland, USBL) • CHARLES LEE '06 (Germany, Belgium, Israel, San Antonio Spurs camp) • CHRIS McNAUGHTON '07 (Germany, Spain, German National Team) • DARRYL SHAZIER '11 (Northern Ireland) • DAVORIN SKORNIK '04 (Slovenia, Italy, Switzerland, Hungary) • JOE WILLMAN '13 (Netherlands, Czech Republic)

Sojka Pavilion: The Place to Be Bucknell’s 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 nine 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 120-39 record in Sojka Pavilion, including an 84-19 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 2014-15, the Bison will host Penn State at Sojka Pavilion, and Wake Forest is scheduled to return in 2015-16. Nearly 40 nationally televised games have been aired from Sojka Pavilion, including the telecasts of the 2006, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Patriot League championship games. A total of 466,712 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 11-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.

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. 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 a full range of collegiate experiences. 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. Among the programs the Bucknell SAAC has undertaken in recent years are regular volunteer trips to the Lewisburg Food Bank, and involvement with the “Orange and Blue goes Green” sustainability program. BISON GOOD SPORTS: Now in its eighth year, Bison Good Sports is a sportsmanship awareness program designed to promote appropriate fan conduct at all Bison sporting events. Bucknell teams have some of the best fan support in the Patriot League, and we encourage all fans to enthusiastically cheer on the Orange & Blue in a positive manner.

“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.

bucknell bison leadership academy
Training Bison Student-Athletes to Become Effective Leaders in Academics, in Athletics, and in Life Competitive sports at Bucknell dates back to 1870, and more than a century later Bucknell has established itself as a national leader in providing successful academic and athletic opportunities for student-athletes. Today, the Department of Athletics & Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence among all intercollegiate programs by maintaining academic priorities and supporting educational and personal development, all while providing the rigorous and competitive Division I athletics opportunity sought by Bucknell student-athletes. As Bison Athletics seeks to create a comprehensive learning environment that meshes with the academic mission of the University, an important element of the complete student-athlete experience is participation in an elite leadership development program designed to identify, develop, challenge and support student-athletes and coaches in their continual quest to become leaders in academics, in athletics and in life. This is the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy.
Ryan Frazier makes a presentation during the 2014 Leadership Academy Kickoff Event
ABOUT THE PROGRAM • In the summer of 2011 the Bucknell Department of Athletics & Recreation implemented a formal leadership development program. • Initial workshops were facilitated by the Janssen Sports Leadership Center. • As part of a Patriot League-wide leadership initiative, the program is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. • Initially, a group of 60 student-athletes were identified as members. These workshops for both student-athletes and their coaches have set the stage for ongoing programming that will encompass the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. GOALS FOR THE LEADERSHIP ACADEMY • Identify and develop high potential leaders in their sophomore or junior years • Help young best athletes become best leaders • Create strong leaders by example and set the stage for developing vocal leaders • Build a strong peer support network for aspiring leaders • Develop leaders who support and learn from current team captains/leaders • Practice leading self, their class, and below • Succession Planning — smoothly replace graduating leaders • Encourage veteran leaders to step up and be vocal leaders • Establish a solid, cooperative and ongoing partnership with the coaching staff • Teach and apply the insights and skills necessary to be a responsible and respected leader • Provide veteran leaders with ongoing coaching and support as they tackle the tough issues of team leadership • Provide veteran leaders with a solid peer network for guidance and support • Provide veteran leaders with highly marketable leadership skills for a lifetime

What they’re saying ... “I applaud our athletics department for providing our student-athletes with this exciting program. We are confident the young men and women participating will take full advantage of all that the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy has to offer.” - Bucknell University President John Bravman “At Bucknell, our intercollegiate athletics program embraces and reflects the University’s mission, core values and educational goals. Leadership development is one of the many important opportunities that is inherent in athletics. Cultivating great leadership is of critical importance, as it not only contributes to the success of our teams, but the benefits of becoming a great leader ultimately will extend well beyond the practice and playing fields and last a lifetime.” - Director of Athletics & Recreation John Hardt “The Patriot League believes in the motto of `today’s scholar-athletes, tomorrow’s leaders,’ and the program provides a unique platform for student-athletes to further their growth into leadership roles. We remain committed to providing student-athletes an opportunity to achieve their potential academically and athletically while preparing to become leaders and make meaningful contributions to society.” - Patriot League Executive Director Carolyn Schlie Femovich

The 2014-2015 Bucknell Bison
2014-15 Season Outlook
bison counting on depth, balance in 2014-15 The Bucknell men’s basketball team has claimed the Patriot League’s Player of the Year in three of the last four seasons, and it has produced a first team all-league selection in 28 of the last 31 years dating back to its days in the East Coast Conference. While the Bison have some candidates to keep those trends alive, head coach Dave Paulsen is more fond of words like “balance” and “depth” when looking ahead to the 2014-15 season. Powered by the winningest senior class in program history, the Bison won an unprecedented third straight Patriot League regular-season title and returned to the NCAA Tournament in 2013. That class, led by current Atlanta Hawks center and two-time Player of the Year Mike Muscala, figured to be difficult to replace, but last year Bucknell turned in another winning season (16-14) and finished in fourth place in an expanded 10-team league. Now the Bison must replace another Player of the Year in 1,500-point scorer Cameron Ayers, along with starting center Brian Fitzpatrick and a pair of key role players in Ben Brackney and Ryan Hill. Bucknell does return one 2014 all-league selection in third-team wing Chris Hass, who is coming off a breakout sophomore year, and two other starters in point guard Steven Kaspar and power forward Dom Hoffman. The Bison also bring back a half-dozen other players who were key contributors down the stretch last season, in addition to a four-man recruiting class that Paulsen has cautiously compared to the record-setting Class of 2013. So it’s no wonder that Paulsen considers this to be potentially the deepest team he has had in seven years at Bucknell. “At our best, can we be the deepest, most balanced, and most cohesive team in our league?” Paulsen wonders. “Maybe this is a team that doesn’t have a player of the year
or a first team all-league guy, but instead has five or six or seven guys who are seriously worthy of all-league consideration at some level. At our best, we hope it will be hard to game-plan for us because we have balance, and it will be hard to identify the one thing that you have to do to stop us. The challenge will be for individual players to develop the level of consistency that we need. We have to embrace that unpredictability and yet at the same time fall into a rhythm and routine in terms of roles and expectations. It’s going to be interesting to see how the team evolves in our scrimmages and then through the non-conference season.” From Paulsen’s perspective, softening the blow of losing his top scorer (Ayers at 15.1 ppg) and rebounder (Fitzpatrick at 5.1 rpg) is a very competitive start to preseason practice. Kaspar is back for his second year as team captain, joined by fellow senior Cory Starkey and junior Ryan Frazier, giving the Bison tremendous leadership on and off the floor. “It’s a really fun group to work with,” said Paulsen. “The work rate and competitiveness in practice from players one through 14 has been as good as any team that I’ve coached. We are trying to keep the core of our philosophies the same, but tweak them a bit to reflect the fact that we are going to be a little more balanced in our scoring attack and a little less dependent on one guy. I think that will result in better ball movement than when we were trying to play through one guy most of the time.” Kaspar is the elder statesman of the backcourt, and he is locked up in a heated three-way battle with sophomore John Azzinaro and freshman Stephen Brown for the lead point guard role. Kaspar enters the year with team-high 99 career appearances
under his belt — he has never missed a game — and his 292 career assists are just outside the top 10 in Bucknell history. Kaspar averaged a career-high 6.5 points and ranked third in the Patriot League with 4.6 assists per game last season. He had some brilliant performances early in 2013-14, most notably a 25-point effort in a win at Penn State. “Steven has really embraced the leadership role on the team,” said Paulsen. “He is really being challenged for playing time by John Azzinaro and Stephen Brown, and he is responding in a very good way. He is simultaneously nurturing the younger guys and trying to hold them off for the starting job, and he is doing so at a good balance. He

2014-15 Season Outlook came back in great shape. I like where he is both mentally and physically. His experience and maturity are helping him develop the consistency that we need from him. At his best, he is a dynamic, creative point guard who is smart and can facilitate offense with a fair amount of daringness.” Azzinaro has the potential to be a dynamic, high-scoring point guard, and he showed flashes of that during his first test last season. Azzinaro played just under 13 minutes per game at both the point and shooting-guard positions, and his confidence grew as the season progressed and the game began to slow down for him. He hit big shots in key moments in late-season wins over Loyola and Boston University, and also in the Patriot League Tournament quarterfinal loss to Army. “John played really well at the end of last year,” said Paulsen. “It probably took him a little longer to adjust to the size and pace of play than what he or I had anticipated. The intensity and attention to detail improved greatly by the end of the year. He has the ability to shoot the ball very well from deep, to shoot a pull-up, and he has a burst to get to the rim and finish. John has shown the ability to do all three of those things, but he has to become more consistent. He has had some days in practice so far where he has looked absolutely terrific, and he is still young and is working on that consistency to do it every day. He is a bit more offensive-minded point guard than Steven, and he is making progress in understanding how to hunt his shot when the situation calls for it.” Brown was a prolific scorer at small Christ Chapel Academy in Virginia, and he has quickly turned heads at Bucknell with his tremendous quickness. While this could be a good year for Brown to apprentice behind Kaspar and Azzinaro, he is making no such assumptions and is working diligently to force the coaches to put him on the floor. “Stephen is extremely quick,” said Paulsen. “He can really guard the ball and be a real pain to play against when he is on defense. He is very fast with the ball in his hands on offense, and he is fearless going to the rim. As he develops more consistency with his jump shot, he is going to be a very good player.” Frazier and highly regarded newcomer J.C. Show figure to get the bulk of the minutes at the shooting guard spot. Now a junior, Frazier already has already played in 63 of a possible 64 games over the last two seasons. Terrific on-ball defensive ability has been his ticket to that significant playing time, but his confidence at the offensive end of the floor has grown significantly. “Ryan was voted captain by his teammates, which is an absolutely appropriate choice,” said Paulsen. “He might be our most naturally gifted leader. Ryan has a charis-
Steven Kaspar matic and dynamic presence about him. He just gets people. That’s such an important skill in life, and it’s a great attribute to have in a team setting. He is a phenomenal defender, and up to this point in preseason he has played at a much higher and more consistent rate offensively. He has the capability to be a better and more consistent scoring threat. In some of our really good performances over the two years he’s been with us, he has been able to get to the basket. I don’t think he will be our leading scorer, but he has the ability to get those key, tough, gritty baskets when we need them.” Show arrived at Bucknell with tremendous credentials. A two-sport star at Abington Heights High School in nearby Clarks Summit, he was named Pennsylvania’s first “Mr. Basketball” and the Gatorade PA Player of the Year last season. “J.C. is a really good scorer with a good toughness to him and a very good basketball IQ,” Paulsen offered. “He will have the usual freshman growing pains as he adapts to the pace of the game, but he can get his shot off quickly, and I don’t think he will come unglued by pressure defense. I think he will factor significantly in the rotation.” Hass was one of the breakthrough performers in the Patriot League last season, and he will be counted on to be the team’s go-to scorer in 2014-15 following the graduation of Ayers. A dynamic offensive presence, Hass has the ability to score at all three levels: long-range bombs, pull-up jumpers and drives to the basket. He was absolutely unconscious during Bucknell’s five-game spring trip to Europe, where he averaged 25.6 points per game and hit 26 of 45 shots
(.578) from 3-point range. “Chris has embraced the role of becoming a more consistent and even dominant scorer,” said Paulsen. “That’s what we need him to do. He is getting better moving without the ball, which will get him even better looks. His big challenge now will be going from being the second or third guy on the scouting report to now being the first guy on the scouting report. Cam [Ayers] found out early last year how hard that was, but then he adapted to it and embraced it. Chris took the appropriate step between his freshman and sophomore years. Everything I’ve seen so far tells me he is taking the appropriate step between his sophomore and junior years. That doesn’t mean he needs to be the player of the year in the league, although he really wants to be, but we don’t necessarily need that to happen.” Battling with Hass out on the wing is senior Joshea Singleton, a veteran member of the program who is working hard for an increased role this season. Singleton is another energetic, athletic player, but he has been set back by some injuries at times in his career. “I have unbelievable respect for Joshea,” Paulsen said. “Up to this point, his playing career has not gone the way that either he or I envisioned, for a variety of reasons. He played really well in practice leading up to our Europe trip, and the question is whether he can find his stride in game action. He has continued to work extremely hard and has been an unbelievable teammate with a phenomenal attitude. He has been an absolute joy to coach. For our team’s sake, and for his sake, I really hope that he has the kind of year that will make all of the struggle worthwhile. He’s looked good in practice up to this point,

2014-15 Season Outlook
Ryan Frazier and he’s going to be locked in a battle for playing time with some pretty good players.” Starkey, a senior captain, along with juniors Dom Hoffman and Matt Banas, and sophomores D.J. MacLeay and Ben Oberfeld all return in the frontcourt, and they will be joined by two promising newcomers in Nana Foulland and Zach Thomas. Hoffman and Starkey were two of the biggest instigators in Bucknell’s six-game winning streak to end the 2014 regular season, and they will likely tag-team at the power forward position to start the year. After playing with a smaller lineup for most of the season, Paulsen went back to two traditional low-post men late in the year. That allowed Hoffman to rejoin the starting lineup at the four spot, while Starkey went from spot minutes to a key reserve role. Both players were terrific during that stretch, and both kept it up in the games in Belgium and France in the spring. Hoffman averaged 5.6 points and 4.0 rebounds during the 2013-14 season, and in Europe he shot 61.4 percent from the field and tallied 16.8 points and 10.3 rebounds. Starkey averaged 21.6 minutes per game and logged 40 points and 46 rebounds while shooting 59.4 percent from the floor in the final seven games, including the PL Tournament game vs. Army. He notched 7.6 points and 8.6 boards in the five games in Europe. “Dom has the ability to be one of the more skilled and versatile frontcourt players
in the league,” praised Paulsen. “He is very skilled offensively. He can pass and shoot and can facilitate offense. We need him to lock in on the things he does very well and not let his few weaknesses cloud his strengths. Dom is not a grind-it-out, back-you-down player on the low block, but he has embraced being a little more physical and is in better shape than ever. “I have such a soft spot in my heart for Cory,” said Paulsen, “because here is a guy who for two years had to play behind arguably two of the best forwards in the history of Bucknell. And then last year we tried to go smaller, and he was kind of the odd man out. Instead of moaning and groaning and hanging his head, he continued to compete and fight and was ready, and when he got his chance he delivered in a big way. That’s a testament to his work ethic and his character and commitment. And now he is a tri-captain, and it’s a well-deserved honor because of how he leads by example.” Banas is a former walk-on who has improved since arriving in the program. MacLeay and Oberfeld both battled some injuries on top of the adjustment to the college game as freshmen last year, but by season’s end both were in the rotation. MacLeay underwent offseason shoulder surgery and was not able to play on the Euro tip. He was cleared for full contact during the second week in October. On the other hand, Oberfeld was down with an injury himself for the first part of preseason practice. Both are big, strong, physical players who will be counted on to give the Bison that crucial depth up front, something they were lacking for most of last year. “Matt Banas has gotten stronger and more physical, and that has allowed him to become more productive,” noted Paulsen. “He is now physically ready to compete at this level, and he gives us some good depth.” “It is great to have D.J. back at full strength,” said Paulsen. “He is in better shape and has a much better understanding of what is involved. He is our most physical frontcourt player, and he has a knack for rebounding the ball. It’s unfortunate that he wasn’t able to practice or play on our trip to Europe, because that would have really helped him. I’m pleased with his progress, both coming back from the injury and with his overall conditioning level. He has a chance to play a significant role.” “Ben looked great in our practices leading up to Europe, and we need to have him healthy,” said Paulsen. “He is very strong and can carve out space for himself. He can defend at the five spot and can rebound. He has the ability to score around the blocks but needs to develop some more consistency and confidence there.” Paulsen is also very high on Foulland and Thomas. Foulland is a strong candidate
to start at center following the graduation of Fitzpatrick, while Thomas is hoping to pick up Brackney’s minutes at the three and four spots. Thomas’ offensive game is well ahead of his defensive game at this point, while Foulland has shown signs of being a potent inside scorer as well as a strong rebounder and shot-blocker at the other end. “Nana is our best low-post scorer today,” praised Paulsen. “I have been really impressed with his attitude, work ethic and coachability. Like any freshman center, he is going to have some bumps in the road along the way. He is still adapting to the physicality of the game but is already a good scorer inside with both hands. He has the timing and long arms needed to be a rim protector, which is something we didn’t really have last year. That was one of the most underrated parts of Mike Muscala’s game. His ability to block shots allowed our guards to really crowd up on people on the perimeter. I don’t know that Nana will be able to do it at that level right away, but he gives us a good presence. I would think he will factor significantly in the rotation from day one.” “Zach can really score the ball and is our most versatile forward,” said Paulsen. “He can shoot the three and can drive and pass. He is very talented. Right now he has as mature an understanding of the offensive part of the game as any freshman that I’ve coached , but he also has a very long way to go defensively. Somehow we need to blend those two extremes. He is strong and has long arms, and all of the tools are there. He will be an interesting guy to follow.” With much better depth up front, look for the Bison to return to the formula that worked so well at the end of last season. Paulsen was forced to go small because Oberfeld and MacLeay were not quite ready to play early in the year, and Brackney was a reliable presence despite being undersized for a power forward. But things changed with the emergence of Starkey, Oberfeld and MacLeay, and the Bison logged an incredible +101 rebounding margin over the final seven games of the year. “I think we have good bigs in our program, and that allows us to control the glass,” said Paulsen. “At times it makes us vulnerable guarding some of our league opponents who play with four guards. Joe Willman was so good at guarding those mobile fours, and that is what guys like Cory and Dom and D.J. are going to have to do for us. We want to make teams adjust to us more than we have to adjust to them. “Hopefully we will have that same grit and toughness on the glass. We were not a lot of fun to watch offensively at the end of last year, but that was OK. We played with a sense of desperation during that stretch, so now we have to figure out how to play with that same kind of mentality.”

TOURNAMENT SUCCESS: Bucknell has an all-time record of 32-20 in 24 Patriot League Tournaments. The Bison have reached the championship game 10 times, including wins in 2005, 2006, 2011 and 2013, and reached at least the semifinals in 18 of 24 years.
SCHOLAR-ATHLETE SUCCESS The Bucknell basketball program has enjoyed tremendous success in the classroom in recent years. Among the highlights: According to the NCAA’s graduation rate survey released in the fall of 2013, Bucknell led the nation with a 93% student-athlete graduation rate. In the NCAA’s Graduation Success Rate (GSR) formula, Bucknell tied for fourth nationally at 98%. All but two Bison sports programs had perfect 100% GSR ratings. The Bison men’s basketball team was one of 42 out of 346 Division I programs to boast a GSR of 100. The Bison men’s basketball program posted a perfect score of 1,000 in the NCAA’s Academic Performance Rate (APR) study, released last June. That 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 eight years. The Bison men’s basketball team combined for a 3.49 grade-point average in the spring 2013 semester, one of the highest in the country. Bucknell then had combined GPAs over 3.0 in both semesters in 2013-14, the fifth straight year the team has accomplished that. Bucknell has claimed 125 national Academic All-Americans since 1970, including nine from men’s basketball. The total of 125 ranks fifth among all Division I institutions, trailing only Nebraska, Notre Dame, Penn State and Stanford. In the Patriot League’s 24-year history, the league’s men’s basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year has come from Bucknell 10 times.

The Coaching Staff Head coach Dave Paulsen cuts down the net after Bucknell’s victory over Lafayette in the 2013 Patriot League championship game.
Head Coach Dave Paulsen
Although it seems as though his tenure at Bucknell has been brief, Dave Paulsen has already become one of the longest-running — and most successful — coaches in Bison basketball history. Paulsen is entering his seventh season at Bucknell in 2014-15. Only Don Smith (8) and Hall of Famers Ben Kribbs (10), Malcolm Musser (13), Pat Flannery (14) and Charlie Woollum (19) have patrolled the Bison sidelines longer. Paulsen’s 115 victories are third-most all-time, behind only Woollum (318) and Flannery (234), and Paulsen’s .593 winning percentage is the highest in program history among those who have coached at least 40 games. The Patriot League’s third-most-senior head coach behind only Lafayette’s Fran O’Hanlon and Lehigh’s Brett Reed, Paulsen signed a brand new five-year contract in 2013 after ushering Bucknell through one of the most successful three-year stretches in school and Patriot League history. The Bison won a school-record 28 games (286) in 2012-13 and became the first team in Patriot League history to record three straight outright regular-season titles. The 78 wins over a threeyear period culminating in 2013 is also a program mark, and in that span Bucknell won two Patriot League Tournament titles (2011, 2013) and made two trips to the NCAA Tournament and another to the second round of the NIT (2012). In 2013 Bucknell was awarded a No. 11 seed at the NCAAs, the second-highest seed in program history. Paulsen won the 2011 and 2012 Patriot League Coach of the Year awards, making him only the third coach in league history to receive the honor in consecutive years. He was also named the 2013 NABC Co-District 13 Coach of the Year alongside Harvard’s Tommy Amaker. The awards were well justified, as Bucknell went 78-25 overall and 37-5 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. Paulsen in 2011 was one of 16 finalists for the Hugh Durham Award, presented to the national Mid-Major Coach of the Year. In his six years at Bucknell, Paulsen has a 115-79 (.593) record. Including eight seasons at Williams and three each at Le Moyne and St. Lawrence, Paulsen’s career record is now 377-199 (.655). Paulsen’s initial Bucknell recruiting class resulted in a record three Patriot League All-Rookie honorees in Bryson Johnson, Mike Muscala and Joe Willman. Muscala developed into a two-time Patriot League Player of the Year, an AllAmerican and an NBA Draft selection, and last winter Muscala became Bucknell’s very first NBA player when he suited up with the Atlanta Hawks. Meanwhile, Johnson and Willman both became AllPatriot Leaguers and 1,000-point scorers before embarking on professional careers overseas. A year later, Paulsen recruited another eventual Patriot League Player of the Year in Cameron Ayers, who became a key player on two NCAA Tournament teams. “The Bucknell men’s basketball program has achieved an incredible amount of success under the leadership of head coach Dave Paulsen, and I am pleased that Dave will be here to continue to grow the storied tradition of Bison Basketball,” said director of athletics and recreation John Hardt in announcing Paulsen’s new contract in March 2013. “Since his arrival at Bucknell, Dave has shown an unwavering commitment to our scholar-athlete model. In addition, the program’s players and coaches have represented themselves and our University in exemplary fashion. The passion and enthusiasm that he brings to work every day have clearly rubbed off on his team and his staff. The landscape of college basketball is rapidly changing, and I look forward to working with Dave through these new and exciting challenges.” Paulsen, a 1987 Williams graduate and a Phi Beta Kappa scholar, has coached at every level of college basketball over the last two decades and is considered a highly sought-after consultant on the principles of the motion offense. Paulsen, 50, 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 MidContinent 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 numerous 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 (19), Sara (15) and Molly (12).

During his playing days at Ithaca College, Fischer was a two-time team captain and graduated ranked among the top 10 in program history in career assists and steals. He was a three-year starting point guard and helped lead the Bombers to an ECAC Upstate New York championship, and Empire Eight League title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. He was named team MVP and honorable mention all-conference, and he was the recipient of the Congdon Award, given to the player that best exemplifies what Ithaca College basketball represents. A native of Minnesota, he graduated with a degree in business administration and a minor in economics.

dane fischer
associate head Coach seventh season
Dane Fischer enters his seventh season at Bucknell and his fourth since being promoted to associate head coach. 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 depart-
ments — including the recruitment of two-time Patriot League Player of the Year and current Atlanta Hawk Mike Muscala — helped lead to three regular-season titles, two NCAA Tournament appearances and an NIT berth in the last four years. In addition to serving as recruiting coordinator, Fischer is the program’s academic advisor. Bucknell has claimed six Academic All-Patriot League spots, four Capital One Academic AllDistrict selections and one national Academic All-American in the last four 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
Aaron Kelly is back for his seventh year on Dave Paulsen’s staff and his sixth 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. Kelly has been an integral part of a coaching staff that led the Bison to an unprecedented three straight outright Patriot League regular-season titles. Bucknell won the Patriot League Tournament in 2011 and 2013 and advanced to the NCAA Tournament both years, and the Bison made their first-ever NIT appearance in 2012, beating top-seeded Arizona in the first round. 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.

The Coaching Staff 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). Kelly is a 2006 graduate of Catholic University in Washington, D.C. He was a member of Cardinals teams that were consistently ranked in the top 25 nationally and produced a four-year record of 89-28. Kelly was elected team captain as a senior, and his team appeared in the NCAA Tournament in 2003, 2004 and 2006. A Capital Athletic Conference All-Academic Team honoree, Kelly graduated with a degree in history.
kevin snyder mgr. bb operations second season
Kevin Snyder, a former all-conference guard recruited by Dave Paulsen at Williams College, joined Paulsen’s staff at Bucknell as the manager of basketball operations prior to the 2013-14 season. Snyder came to Bucknell after spending the previous season as an assistant coach at Brown. In his current role, Snyder coordinates all types of team logistics, including critical elements such as team travel, recruiting and summer camps. A native of Littleton, Colo., Snyder graduated from Williams in 2009 after double-majoring in psychology and art studio. Not only was he a First Team All-NESCAC selection as a senior, but he was also named to the ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District Team. Snyder was a three-time recipient of his school’s Academic Scholar-Athlete Award. On the floor he was a three-year starter who compiled 1,016 points, 237 assists and 272 rebounds. He averaged 16.8 points per game and also led the team in assists as a senior. During his sophomore year — Paulsen’s next-to-last year at Williams — he helped lead the Ephs to a NESCAC title and a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Snyder launched his coaching career in 2009-10 as the director of basketball operations at William & Mary. He was part of a staff that led the Tribe to a 22-10 record and an NIT berth. It was William & Mary’s most wins since 1949-50 and the third-most in program history. One year later Snyder returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach under Mike Maker. In 2010-11 Williams finished 29-3 and advanced all the way to the Division III Final Four. After two years at Williams, Snyder last season returned to the Division I ranks as an assistant coach at Brown. In 2012-13 the Bears finished in fourth place in the Ivy League with a 7-7 record.

Bucknell Sports Medicine mark keppler
assOCIATE director of athletics, head athletic trainer Associate Athletic Director Mark Keppler, now in his 29th year as Bucknell’s head athletic trainer, oversees Bucknell’s athletic training and sports medicine program. 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. In the spring of 2013, Keppler was named Trainer of the Year by the Central Pennsylvania Chapter of the National Football Foundation. 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. Keppler and his wife, Wanda, reside in Lewisburg and are the parents of daughters Sarah and Reta.
Bucknell’s athletic training staff, headed by Mark Keppler, provides outstanding medical care for each of Bucknell’s student-athletes. In 2003, Keppler and his staff moved into a brand new, state-of-the-art athletic training room as part of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center design. There is also a fully-equipped athletic training facility in Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium, adjacent to the football team locker room, and satellite training rooms at Sojka Pavilion and Holmes Stadium. The philosophy of the Bucknell sports medicine team is a commitment to providing the best care for Bison student-athletes. Its injury and rehab protocols are developed to help decrease athletics-related injuries, increase injury recovery time, and combine strength and flexibility, endurance and sport-specific functional activities. Every injured Bucknell student-athlete is attended by an athletic trainer at the time the injury occurs. Each of Bucknell’s professional staff trainers are state and nationally certified, and they are assisted on-site by a quality team of student athletic trainers. The care for all Bucknell students ultimately falls under the direction of the director of the University’s student health services. Athletes sustaining serious injuries requiring immediate attention in a hospital setting are sent to the emergency room of the Evangelical Community Hospital, located just two miles from the Bucknell campus.

Community & Alumni Relations
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. Paulsen and his team have conducted free instructional clinics and autograph sessions. 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. Bucknell coaches and student-athletes have also participated in the Beads of Courage program, which helps children endure cancer treatment by marking milestones as a symbol of their courage. Bison players wear beads during a practice, and then visit the Janet Weis Children’s Hospital to give the beads to the children. On Jan. 7, 2015, the Bison will host the Eleventh 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. The 2015 tournament will be part of a busy Alumni Weekend, as the program celebrates the 10-year anniversary of the landmark 2005 NCAA Tournament win over Kansas.

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, Boston University, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh, Loyola Maryland and Navy. Associate members include Fordham in football, Massachusetts Institute of Technology in women’s rowing and Georgetown in both football and women’s rowing. These member institutions are among the oldest and most prestigious in the nation. Alumni from Patriot League colleges and universities have played a leadership role in the shaping of our country. 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 offering scholarships 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 post-season competition: baseball, men and women’s basketball, field hockey, football, men’s golf, men and women’s lacrosse, rowing, men and women’s soccer, softball, men 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 18 times in its 24-year existence, including 14 of the last 17 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.

Featuring three first-time starters and a bevy of players in new roles, the “new-look” Bison men’s basketball squad gave Stanford all it could handle in the season-opener, but the Cardinal prevailed 72-68 before a spirited crowd of 7,233 at Maples Pavilion. In a game that was not decided until the final half-minute, Ben Brackney led Bucknell with 13 points and eight rebounds, and Steven Kaspar set three career highs with 12 points, nine assists and seven rebounds in a terrific all-around performance at point guard. Cameron Ayers added 11 points and Brian Fitzpatrick had 10 for the Bison. Head coach Dave Paulsen had used 11 players by the 6-minute mark of the first half. Ten of them scored, and eight grabbed at least one rebound as Bucknell held its own on the glass against a huge Stanford team that started a frontcourt reaching 6-7, 6-10, 6-11.
Backed by another sensational effort by point guard Steven Kaspar and a big second half from Cameron Ayers, Bucknell exorcised decades of frustration against Penn State with a 90-80 victory over the Nittany Lions. Kaspar scored a career-high 25 points and Ayers scored 16 of his 19 in the second half to hand coach Dave Paulsen his 100th Bucknell victory. Penn State had won 12 straight head-to-head matchups against Bucknell, with the last Bison victory coming on Jan. 14, 1976 in Davis Gym. Bucknell had never won in 10 previous tries at Bryce Jordan, and its last win in State College was a 74-73 overtime decision on Feb. 21, 1968 at Rec Hall. This one had all the makings of a shootout from the opening tap. Penn State made 10 of its first 13 shots, but Ben Brackney hit four straight 3-pointers to keep the Bison in the game. The Bison would go on to hit 10 of 15 3-point tries and shoot 60.9 percent overall.

Shortly after the unfurling of Bucknell’s 2012-13 Patriot League championship and NCAA Tournament banners, the new-look Bison showed off its scoring balance in a 72-50 victory over Saint Francis (Pa.). Cameron Ayers led all scorers with 16 points, and Dom Hoffman and Chris Hass hit career highs with 14 and 10. Bucknell never trailed in the game and was able to score effectively both inside and outside. The Bison went 8-for-17 from 3-point range, with Ayers (4-4), Hass (2-3) and Ben Brackney (2-4) making 8 of 11. They also racked up a 38-16 scoring edge in the paint.

Phil Greene scored 16 points, including two key 3-pointers in the second half, to help St. John’s rally past Bucknell 67-63 at Carnesecca Arena. Cameron Ayers scored a career-high 25 points for the Bison, who led by as many as nine points in the second half, but the Red Storm used a late 11-0 to pull out a close victory in the first meeting between the two teams since 1912. Brian Fitzpatrick scored 12 points, Dom Hoffman logged 10 points and eight rebounds, and Steven Kaspar had six points, six rebounds and six assists for the Bison. Rim protection was a big key to victory for the Red Storm, who led the nation in blocked shots. St. John’s blocked 13 in this one, as Bucknell often got to the basket only to be denied by Chris Obekpa (7 blocks) or Orlando Sanchez (4). The Bison shot 46.4 percent for the game, but 13 of their 30 misses came on St. John’s blocked shots.
Ben Brackney canned six of Bucknell’s 14 3-pointers en route to a career-high 22 points, and the Bison buckled down on defense in the second half in a wire-to-wire 77-64 victory at eventual America East champion Albany. Cameron Ayers added 15 points and Steven Kaspar had 11 points, six rebounds and nine assists. The Bison made 10 of their first 12 3-pointers of the night and 14 of 21 overall. They led 51-38 at the half, but coach Dave Paulsen was just as pleased with his team’s second-half defensive effort as he was with the first-half shooting onslaught. Brian Fitzpatrick was Bucknell’s fourth double-digit scorer with 10 points. Fitzpatrick even got in on the 3-point action, going 2-for-2 from the arc. The Bison also received outstanding bench minutes from Ryan Frazier (7 points), Dom Hoffman (6 points) and Ryan Hill (4 assists, 1 steal).

Rashad Whack scored 22 points to lead a strong night for eventualNEC champion Mount St. Mary’s backcourt, and Brian Fitzpatrick’s career-high 18 points were not enough for Bucknell in a 69-64 setback at Knott Arena. The Bison were able to trim a 12-point deficit down to two late in the contest but could not get over the hump. Fitzpatrick made 8 of 12 shots from the field, including a 3-pointer, en route to his career-high 18 points. Bucknell also received major production from the bench, as Chris Hass (10), Dom Hoffman (9), John Azzinaro (9) and Ryan Hill (7) combined for 35 points on 13-for-19 shooting. Under the direction of former Bucknell manager of basketball operations Jamion Christian, Mount St. Mary’s played a VCU-style, up-tempo, full-court pressing style. The Mount’s starting backcourt produced 48 points, led by Whack’s 22 points and 13 each from Sam Prescott and Julian Norfleet.
Hans Brase and T.J. Bray scored 15 points apiece and combined for six of Princeton’s 10 3-pointers, leading the visiting Tigers past Bucknell 66-53 at Sojka Pavilion. Chris Hass scored a career-high 15 points and Cameron Ayers added 14 for the Bison. Bray also had nine rebounds and Brase added seven assists for the Tigers, who broke open a four-point game with a 15-5 run in the latter stages of the second half. It was a defensive struggle for most of the night, as both teams shot under 40 percent from the field. Bucknell and Princeton both finished with 20 made field goals, but the difference came from 3-point distance, where the Tigers held a 30-3 scoring advantage. Princeton went 10-for-25 from the arc, including three daggers in the final 6:12, while Bucknell was 1-for-11. The Bison came into the game ranked third in the country in 3-point percentage (.471).

Brian Fitzpatrick tallied a game-high 16 points, Chris Hass hit the tying and go-ahead free throws as part of a 14-point night, and Cameron Ayers registered a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds to lead Bucknell to a hard-fought 57-52 victory over Columbia. Ryan Hill led another solid bench effort with eight points and four assists for the Bison. Bucknell started out slowly in this one and managed only 22 first-half points on 34.8-percent shooting, but thanks to some solid defense the Bison trailed by just three at the break. In the second half Bucknell went to work inside. Fitzpatrick scored 11 of his 16 in the final 20 minutes, and the guards had success driving the ball to the basket. As a result, the Bison attempted only three shots from beyond the 3-point arc while going 16-for-20 from the free-throw line in the second half..

Brian Fitzpatrick led four players in double figures with 16 points and Bucknell showed plenty of resiliency in a 66-59 gut-check victory at Kent State. The Bison were trying to avoid a third straight loss after a strong start, on the road against an 8-1 Kent State team averaging 80.0 points per game, and Bucknell took it over in the final five minutes. The Bison went from seven points down to eight in front after a 15-0 second-half run, but the Golden Flashes, who had won 13 straight at the MAC Center, quickly got the crowd back into it with a tying 8-0 run. A critical offensive rebound by Ben Brackney led to a Cameron Ayers 3-pointer with 4:51 left, and the Bison would never trail again. Ayers hit another trey and came up with a key steal on the defensive end, and then with 30 seconds to play Chris Hass iced it with a 3-point play .

Chavaughn Lewis scored 19 points to lead Marist to a wire-to-wire 69-51 victory at the McCann Center. Steven Kaspar scored 13 points and Cameron Ayers had 10, but the Bison were battling from behind all night as the Red Foxes opened the game on a 16-0 run. Bucknell came into the game ranked sixth nationally in fewest turnovers and ninth in 3-point field goal percentage, but an aggressive, trapping zone forced the Bison into 22.7-percent shooting (1-for-7 from the arc) and eight turnovers in a one-sided first half. They would shoot just 28.8 percent for the game.

fairfield 73, bucknell 64 sojka pavilion lewisburg, pa. • dec. 28, 2013
Maurice Barrow scored 15 points and Doug Chappell 13 to pace a big afternoon for the Fairfield bench, and the Stags defeated Bucknell 73-64 at Sojka Pavilion. Cameron Ayers led all scorers with 19 points and Steven Kaspar had 14 points and seven assists for the Bison. While Bucknell struggled offensively for the second straight game, Fairfield made some timely 3-pointers in the second half to break open a close game. It was just a two-point contest with 14 minutes to play, but Steve Smith came off the bench and drained 3-pointers on consecutive possessions to stretch the Stags’ lead up to eight. The Bison finally got some shots to drop in the final three minutes and were able to trim a 15-point deficit down to eight, but Fairfield made enough free throws down the stretch to secure the win.

Bucknell 68, colgate 57 sojka pavilion lewisburg, pa. • jan. 5, 2014
Chris Hass scored a career-high 26 points and Bucknell held the nation’s No. 1 3-point shooting team to just a single trey in 12 attempts in a 68-57 victory over Colgate. Dom Hoffman chipped in 12 points and eight rebounds off the bench, point guard Steven Kaspar had seven assists and a career-high 10 rebounds, and Cameron Ayers tallied 10 points while spearheading the strong defensive effort. The Bison came into the game looking to shake their first three-game losing streak in more than three years, and they did so thanks to a strong start. Bucknell canned five of their first six 3-pointers of the night and shot 53.8 percent overall en route to a 40-24 halftime lead. Colgate cut what had been an 18-point deficit all the way down to two with 3:57 to play, but the Bison made big plays down the stretch and ended the game on a 13-4 run.

bucknell 96, lafayette 86 kirby sports center easton, pa. • jan. 8, 2014
The weather had been frigid in Pennsylvania that week, but Bucknell and Lafayette were red-hot at the Kirby Sports Center. Led by a career-high 25-point effort from Ben Brackney, Bucknell shot 12-for-15 from 3-point range and won a 96-86 shootout. Chris Hass added 21 points, Cameron Ayers had 18 and Dom Hoffman 11 for the Bison, who shot 52.8 percent overall and closed out the game with some strong free-throw shooting down the stretch. The 96 points were the most since a 104-98 overtime loss to Cornell in 2009-10 and their most ever in a Patriot League road game, and they needed almost every one of them as Lafayette also shot very well from long range.

Tony Wroblicky logged 24 points, 11 rebounds, six blocks and five assists to lead American to a 67-57 victory over Bucknell in the Patriot League opener for both sides. Chris Hass scored a career-high 18 points and Cameron Ayers had 17 points, eight rebounds and three steals for the Bison, who saw an eight-game winning streak against American come to an end. John Schoof and Darius Gardner added 11 points each for American, which shot 53.8 percent thanks in large part to a number of back-door layups and the 6’10” Wroblicky’s 8-for-12 work down low. The eventual PL champion Eagles had been 1-11 all-time against Bucknell at Sojka Pavilion, but they never trailed in this one after getting out to a 9-0 lead.

On the ropes early in the game after a quick start by Holy Cross, the Bucknell men’s basketball squad rallied for a hard-fought 61-57 at Sojka Pavilion. Ben Brackney scored 13 points and the bench combined for 21 points for the Bison, who won their third game in a row. Malcolm Miller scored 19 points and Justin Burrell added 13 for the Crusaders, who were flying early in the game and led by as many as 13 at 26-13 after Anthony Thompson’s 3-pointer with 6:07 left in the first half. Brackney, who was coming off a career-high 25-point performance at Lafayette, answered the Thompson trey with one of his own, and that ignited a 13-0 run for Bucknell that got the game tied at 26. Dave Dudzinski snapped Holy Cross scoreless drought at 5:22 with a 3-pointer, but Brackney was fouled shooting a three and made all three free throws to tie the game at 29 at the half.

Down by 16 points with less than five minutes to play, Bucknell rallied within one point and had three chances to win it in the final seconds, but Navy held on for a 62-61 victory at Alumni Hall. Steven Kaspar had a big night for the Bison with 12 points, seven rebounds and a career-high 10 assists, but the Bison could not overcome a rash of turnovers and saw their three-game winning streak come to an end. Ben Brackney hit four 3-pointers and scored 12 points, Chris Hass scored all 11 of his points in the second half, and Cameron Ayers added 10 for the Bison. Brandon Venturini had 14 points, Worth Smith 13 and Zach Fong 10 for the Midshipmen, who snapped an eight-game losing streak to Bucknell. The Bison came into the game averaging only 9.6 turnovers per game, the eighth-best figure in the nation, but they coughed it up 18 times in this one. That led to 18 Navy points, including 14 fastbreak points.

army 74, bucknell 67 christl arena West point, n.y. • jan. 19, 2014
Josh Herbeck hit all six of his 3-point attempts, including two crazy shots as the shot clock expired in the second half, leading Army to a 74-67 victory over Bucknell. Kyle Wilson scored 28 points for the Black Knights, while Brian Fitzpatrick led the Bison with 17 points on 8-for-8 shooting. Bucknell rallied from 11 points down to take the lead midway through the second half, but the difference in an extremely tight contest were the two late-shot-clock 3-pointers by Herbeck. The first came with Bucknell leading 53-52 inside seven minutes to play. The Black Knights grabbed an offensive rebound on a shot that did not hit the rim, and after receiving a kick-out pass Herbeck was forced to fling up a fading three right in front of his own bench. The shot hit nothing but net with 6:31 to play, and Army would never trail again.

Cameron Ayers scored 19 points and Steven Kaspar produced eight assists and two key defensive plays down the stretch to lift Bucknell to a 70-60 home victory over Loyola Maryland. Ben Brackney scored 14 points, including three go-ahead free throws with 12:14 to play, and Brian Fitzpatrick chipped in 12 points. Patriot League scoring leader Dylon Cormier led Loyola with 20 points, seven rebounds and three steals. Bucknell got out to a strong start and led by 10 points on a couple of occasions in the first half. Loyola trimmed its deficit to 31-28 at the half, and then used a 10-0 run to surge ahead 38-33 in the opening four minutes of the second period. The Bison tied the game at 40 on a Ryan Hill 3-pointer. The Greyounds later took a 45-44 lead on a trey by Cormier, but on Bucknell’s next possession Brackney was fouled shooting a 3-pointer and made all three free throws. The Bison would never trail again.
After trailing by 20 points with less than eight minutes to play, Bucknell had a possession down three with a chance to tie it in the final seconds, but Maurice Watson’s steal and layup effectively clinched Boston University’s 64-61 victory over the Bison before a season-best crowd of 3,790 at Sojka Pavilion. Cameron Ayers scored 23 points and Chris Hass scored all 17 of his points in that late-second-half charge. Boston University, the preseason favorite in its first season in the Patriot League, was coming off a 30-point blowout loss at American. The Eagles shot 71 percent from the field in that game, and Boston University apparently re-committed itself defensively in this one. The Bison could not get anything going offensively in the first half and had eight turnovers and only six field goals in 24 attempts. D.J. Irving’s 3-pointer at the buzzer gave the Terriers a 32-16 halftime lead.
Stefan Cvrkalj hit four second-half 3-pointers and Lehigh went 7-for-8 from the arc in the second half of a see-saw 66-63 victory over Bucknell at Stabler Arena. Cameron Ayers scored 23 points and Chris Hass and Brian Fitzpatrick had 13 each for the Bison. Corey Schaefer paced Lehigh with 15 points, while Cvrkalj had all 14 of his in the second half of a game that featured wild momentum swings throughout the night. Bucknell led by as many as 10 early in the contest and had a seven-point halftime lead, but Lehigh exploded out of the gates in the second half with an 18-3 run over the first 5:18. The Bison punched back with a 9-0 spurt, consisting of five points from Hass and four from Ayers. But then Lehigh suddenly could not miss from long range. Five of the Mountain Hawks’ next six field goals came from 3-point distance, with Cvrkalj sinking four of them.

Cameron Ayers scored a game-high 21 points, his third straight game over 20, and Bucknell bounced back from a couple of tough losses to post a 79-68 win at Colgate. Four Bison scored in double figures and seven had at least eight points, and the bench contributed heavily with a combined 26 points, eight rebounds, seven assists and six steals. Ben Brackney hit three 3-pointers and scored 11 points, Chris Hass and Steven Kaspar tallied 10 each, and Brian Fitzpatrick scored nine points. Kaspar came off the bench for the first time this season, and he also added five assists, four rebounds and two steals. Ryan Frazier and Dom Hoffman were also major factors off the bench. Frazier scored eight points, hit both ends of a 1-and-1 at a key juncture with 1:35 remaining, and also sparked a strong defensive effort with four steals.

Seth Hinrichs produced 18 points and 10 rebounds to lead Lafayette to its first win in Sojka Pavilion in 17 tries, 66-58. Cameron Ayers scored 22 points — his fourth straight game with at least 20 — but the Bison had a frigid shooting night. Bucknell went 12-for-15 from 3-point range in a 96-86 win over Lafayette in Easton back on Jan. 8, but it was a much different story in this one as both teams struggled to make shots. The Bison missed their first 11 3-point tries before Ayers finally hit one with 8:35 left in the game.

Justin Burrell scored 19 points and Holy Cross used high-pressure defense to defeat Bucknell 66-50 at the Hart Center. Cameron Ayers scored 15 points and Chris Hass had 14 for the Bison, who had beaten the Crusaders earlier in the year at Sojka Pavilion. Holy Cross also received 14 points from Malcolm Miller. These two longtime rivals engaged in a hard-fought, physical game, and points were difficult to come by in the early going. The Crusaders led 27-21 at the half and then opened it up with a 26-12 run to start the second period.

After celebrating Senior Night just prior to the game, Cameron Ayers and Brian Fitzpatrick went out and turned in two of the best performances of their careers to lead Bucknell to an important 73-61 win over Army. Ayers scored 13 of his game-high 22 points in Bucknell’s decisive 23-9 run over the final seven minutes, and Fitzpatrick logged 15 points and eight rebounds to help the Bison draw within one game of Army for the key No. 4 position in the Patriot League standings. Chris Hass also tallied 15 points and eight rebounds, and the Bison received big minutes from Cory Starkey and John Azzinaro off the bench en route to their second straight victory. The Bison played without the services of three frontcourt players, but Starkey stepped in with six points and six rebounds in 17 minutes.

Cameron Ayers scored a game-high 22 points, including the game-winning 3-pointer with 16 seconds left, sending Bucknell to a wild 55-53 win over Loyola at Reitz Arena. John Azzinaro and Dom Hoffman also made critical plays down the stretch, and the Bison won their third straight game. This was practically a tale of three different games. Bucknell was great defensively in the first half and down the stretch, and Loyola couldn’t miss a shot in the first 10 minutes of the second half. The Bison led 28-14 at the half after limiting the Greyhounds to 6-for-32 shooting. Loyola then made seven of its first nine shots of the second half and outscored the Bison 26-5 over a nine-minute span to flip that 14-point deficit into a seven-point lead. But the Bison fought back and finished off the win on the Ayers’ 3-pointer followed by a big defensive stop.
The bench quartet of Ryan Frazier, Cory Starkey, D.J. MacLeay and John Azzinaro scored 30 of Bucknell’s final 32 points and the Bison rallied from nine points down in the second half to defeat Boston University 63-53 at Agganis Arena. Cameron Ayers scored a team-high 11 points and Brian Fitzpatrick led an inspired effort on the glass with 12 rebounds as Bucknell won its fourth straight game and pulled into a fourth-place tie with Army in the Patriot League standings. Frazier scored 10 points, including two acrobatic 3-point plays down the stretch. Azzinaro added nine points, four rebounds, three assists and a steal. Starkey collected eight points, seven rebounds two assists and two steals. MacLeay had a perfect shooting day and finished with seven points and seven boards, and it was his first career 3-pointer with 7:52 to play that gave the Bison the lead for the first time in the second half.

Chris Hass scored 15 points and Cory Starkey led another phenomenal effort on the glass with a career-high 11 rebounds to propel Bucknell to its sixth straight win to close out the regular season, 56-51 over American. The Bison were locked into the No. 4 seed at the Patriot League Tournament regardless of the outcome, but they outrebounded American 45-26 and spoiled the second-place Eagles’ attempt to claim the top seed. Bucknell followed a familiar formula to victory in this one, dominating the glass while playing tough defense against an American team that entered the game ranked No. 2 nationally in field-goal percentage (.502). The Bison grabbed 15 offensive rebounds, which led to a 16-5 edge in second-chance points, and they tallied a plus-86 rebounding margin during the six-game winning streak.
Kyle Wilson scored all of Army’s points in a game-ending 9-1 run, including the go-ahead jumper with 12.5 seconds left, sending the fifth-seeded Black Knights to a 72-71 victory over No. 4 Bucknell in a hotly contested Patriot League Tournament quarterfinal matchup at Sojka Pavilion. Wilson finished with a game-high 19 points, overshadowing a big night from Bison sophomore Chris Hass, who logged 18 points and seven rebounds. Hass’ running bank shot gave Bucknell a 70-63 lead just inside three minutes to play, but the Black Knights rallied all the way back. The Bison entered the postseason on a six-game winning streak, but this was only the sixth time in the 24-year history of the Patriot League Tournament that Bucknell fell in the quarterfinal round.

Now the winningest player in Bucknell basketball history, Cameron Ayers scored 17 points, including the game-clinching free throw with eight seconds to play, to lead suddenly red-hot Bucknell to a 65-61 victory over Lehigh. The win was Bucknell’s fifth in a row and secured the No. 4 seed in the Patriot League Tournament. Bucknell’s bench was a critical part of this winning streak, and this one was no different as Cory Starkey (eight points, six rebounds), John Azzinaro (nine points) and D.J. MacLeay (two points, eight rebounds) all made major contributions. Along with a game-high nine rebounds from Brian Fitzpatrick, the Bison finished with a 49-34 rebounding edge to improve to plus-67 on the glass during the five-game winning streak. Ayers and fellow seniors Fitzpatrick, Ben Brackney and Ryan Hill, picked up their school-record 93rd victory, surpassing the previous mark of 92 set by the Class of 2013. Ayers played in every one of those 93 wins.

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 50 years later, no Bison player has come within 41 rebounds of that impressive total, and only current NBA center Mike Muscala has joined him in the 1,000-rebound club. Danzig 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. In fact, his scoring record stood all the way to 2013, when it was broken by Mike Muscala. 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 alldistrict 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 seven new members this fall when the Class of 2014 was inducted during ceremonies on Homecoming Weekend. Three years 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 scored 1,229 career points. 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, 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 10th. 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. 4 all-time scorer with 1,670 points, trailing only 2013 graduate Mike Muscala (2,036) and 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. 9 all-time scorer, Joseph’s .884 career free-throw percentage ranked 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 three 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 40 years, served as Bucknell’s associate vice president for finance until his 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.

Athletics Facilities
T
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 18 Patriot League Presidents’ Cups in 24 years, national leadership in graduation rates, 125 Capital One Academic All-Americans since 1970 and 136 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes in 24 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
Center; and the spacious West 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 Bachman Golf
Promoting lifetime wellness, the Krebs Family Fitness Center contains state-of-the-art cardiovascular and strength conditioning equipment, all of which was replaced in 2014. The 16,000-squarefoot 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.
The pool itself features two moveable bulkheads, allowing for multiple team 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. 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 six 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 2006, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Patriot League championship games. The 2005 Bucknell-Villanova men’s basketball game drew a school-record crowd of 4,433.

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.

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 in 2011 on the BGC property is the new indoor/outdoor Bachman Golf Center, 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 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 In his first four years at Bucknell, John Bravman has steadily built a foundation of support through numerous meetings and speaking engagements with Bucknellians across the country and overseas. In October 2012, Bucknell launched the public phase of the largest comprehensive campaign in its history, with a goal of raising half a billion dollars for strategic University initiatives. As of February 2014, fundraising was well past $300 million. During John’s first year in office, the University broke ground on infrastructure for Academic West, Bucknell’s first new academic building in nearly a decade, which opened in August 2013. Construction began on four new apartment-style residence halls in November 2013. They will open in August 2015, with a student commons building to follow. Off campus, John continues to strengthen ties between the University and downtown Lewisburg, where Bucknell recently renovated several University properties, including the Campus Theatre, the Post Office Building and the historic DeWitt Building, which now houses the Small Business Development Center, the Entrepreneurs Incubator and the Samek Art Museum’s Downtown Art Gallery. In his earliest months at Bucknell, John 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. Prior to joining Bucknell John spent 35 years at Stanford University, where he led its undergraduate program as the vice provost for undergraduate education for 11 years. He played a critical role in Stanford’s
Campaign for Undergraduate Education, which raised more than $1.1 billion. In recognition of his accomplishments, Stanford awarded him the university’s highest honors for both teaching (1989) and for lifetime service (2010). Born in 1957, John 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. John 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 patented two coatings that may make coronary stents safer for heart-disease patients. John is married to Dr. Wendelin Wright, associate professor with a joint appointment in mechanical engineering and chemical engineering at Bucknell. They have two young sons, Cole and Cooper. John has two older sons, Christopher and Matthew.

JOHN HARDT Director of Athletics & Recreation
DAVID SURGALA
Vice President for Finance & Administration
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 15th year at Bucknell and his 29th 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 increased online video programming, 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 continual growth in Bison Club donations, with receipts now annually topping $2 million, 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 (Bucknell Sports Properties) and sports medicine (Geisinger Sports Medicine). While much has been achieved in the last 14 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 program that adheres to the student-athlete ideal.
• PERSONAL Birthdate: May 24, 1962 Wife: The former Carole Bourgeacq of Arcachon, France Married: September 19, 1987 Children: Elodie (22), Madeleine (20) and the late Noah Hardt (Bucknell Class of 2011)
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. He is also in his first year as a member of the Division I Men’s Lacrosse Committee. 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. In fact, Bison Club gifts account for nearly 40 percent of the athletic department’s annual budget. In recent years, the Bison Club has exceeded $2 million in donations. 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 student-athlete is presented with a Bucknell ring or watch in recognition of his or her achievements. Special awards honor the most outstanding studentathletes in the senior class.
In addition, the Bison Club sponsors the Bucknell Athletic Hall of Fame, which now includes 236 members and is located on the second floor of Bucknell’s Gerhard Fieldhouse. Todd Newcomb, Bucknell Class of 1988, is in his 14th 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 director of athletics development Tom Harvey and assistant director of athletics development Terry Conrad. In addition, a national search is currently underway to select Bucknell’s next manager of athletics development to work alongside Harvey and Conrad. For more information on supporting the Bison Club, please call Todd Newcomb at 570577-1771.

muscala is third bison nba draftee In June 2013 Mike Muscala capped off an historic night for Bucknell and the Patriot League when he was selected 44th overall in the National Basketball Association Draft. Muscala was officially picked by the Dallas Mavericks, but his rights were traded to the Atlanta Hawks. Muscala was the third Bucknell men’s basketball player to be drafted in the NBA. Al Leslie ‘81 was taken in the second round (37th overall) by the Indiana Pacers in 1981, and Jaye Andrews ‘85 was a seventh-round pick of the Philadelphia 76ers in 1985. Muscala also became the third Patriot League player ever drafted, and the second in a matter of a few hours. Earlier in the evening, Lehigh’s C.J. McCollum was picked 10th overall by the Portland Trailblazers. Colgate’s Adonal Foyle was taken by the Golden State Warriors with the No. 8 pick in 1997.

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 USA Basketball Co-Developmental Coach of the 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 two-time First Team All-Patriot League selection at the Division I level. Holden had a successful and lucrative overseas career that took 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 . member of Team USA at the 2004 Games in Athens.

the voice of the bison: doug birdsong Doug Birdsong is in his 15th 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. In the Spring 2013 semester, the Bucknell men’s basketball team not only captured the Patriot League championship and went to the NCAA Tournament, but the 15 studentathletes on the squad combined for a stellar 3.49 grade-point average. Led by guard Ryan Frazier (pictured), an Arthur Ashe Sports Scholar who has the team’s highest cumulative GPA, nine Bison made the Dean’s List with a GPA of at least 3.50, and a league-high 11 made the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll with a 3.20 or better.
