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

Taking on the Best In recent years, Bucknell has:

Dallas, Milwaukee and Oklahoma City. A hard-fought road win at Lafayette ignited a 14-game 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 (188) than any other program. Bucknell won back-to-back Patriot League Tournament titles in 2005 & 2006, and then won it again in 2011. In 2006 the Bison went 14-0 in Patriot League play, the first unbeaten mark in league history. In 1993, 2007 and 2011, they went 13-1 in the PL. Bucknell is 61-11 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 16 times in 21 seasons, and they have played in the championship game eight times. The men’s basketball program has contributed to Bucknell winning the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup — the annual all-sports title — 17 times in the 21-year history of the league, including 13 of the last 14 years.

Bison in the Pros
As many as 12 recent Bucknell graduates have continued their hoops careers overseas in recent years. The most prominent of those was J.R. Holden '98, who just retired at the end of last 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 now in the pro ranks:
Bryan Bailey ’02 — Has carved out a nice European career and in 2011-12 is back in Germany with Artland Dragons Quakenbrueck. He has also played in Poland, The Netherlands and Bosnia. Donald Brown ’07 — Played a season for U.M.F. Tindastoll in Iceland, where he averaged better than 20 points per game. He suffered an injury that has since kept him out of action. ZACH EVANS ‘10 — After graduating in the spring of 2010 attended a tryout camp in Florida and earned a spot with Hapoel Marnin Tivon of the Israeli Second Division. John Griffin ’08 — Was named league MVP in his debut season with the Proveo Merlins Crailsheim in Germany in 2008-09, averaging a league-best 20.3 points and 3.5 assists per game before going down with a knee injury late in the year. Griffin worked for the NBA’s Indiana Pacers last season, and in 2011-12 he is back playing in the pro ranks with the Leicester Riders in England. Boakai Lalugba ’03 — Has been one of the better players in France in recent years and is now back in Sweden with KFUM Jamtland. He had previously played in Sweden, Finland and briefly in the USBL. Charles Lee ‘06 — Had a very good 2008-09 season with Goettingen in the top German division after playing one year each in Belgium and Israel. Lee averaged 13.1 points and 4.4 rebounds while leading his upstart team to a runner-up finish in the Bundesliga. In 2009-10, he joined another top German club, the Artland Dragons. Lee played in two NBA Summer League sessions with the San Antonio Spurs and was in veterans training camp in ’06. Chris McNaughton ’07 — McNaughton has been a solid player in the German Bundesliga, and this season he has signed with another top-division club, Eisbaeren Bremerhaven. A German native, McNaughton had a big summer in 2010, as he made the German national team and saw time at the FIBA World Championships in Turkey. McNaughton previously spent two seasons playing in Spain. Chris Rodgers — Played at Bucknell from 2002-04 before transferring to Wilmington College. He has played for a number of teams in Germany, most recently with Wolfenbuttel. He previously played for three different EBA teams. DARRYL SHAZIER ‘11 — After graduating last spring, Shazier earned a Victory Scholarship through United States Northern Ireland (USNI) Sport, and he is playing this season with the Ulster Elks. Davorin Skornik ‘04 — After playing in Italy last season, Skornik is back in his native Slovenia this year with Slovenske Konjice. He has also made stops in Switzerland and Hungary.
Many other Bucknellians have enjoyed professional success as well, including all-time leading scorer Al Leslie ‘81, who was drafted by the NBA’s Indiana Pacers and Patrick King ‘92, who had a long and successful career in Germany and is now an agent in that country.

Sojka Pavilion: The Place to Be Bucknell’s recent hoops success has captured the imagination of the campus and surrounding communities, so much so that the Bison have attracted one of the best home-court advantages in the nation. Some Sojka facts: Sojka Pavilion, Bucknell’s home since 2003, has attracted sellout crowds 21 times in the last six seasons, and the Bison have led the Patriot League in attendance each year. 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 84-29 record in Sojka Pavilion, including a 61-11 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. Twenty-one nationally televised games have been aired from Sojka Pavilion, including the ESPN2 telecasts of the 2006 and 2011 Patriot League championship games. Bucknell will play 14 regular-season home games in 2011-12. The Bison will host a sub-regional for the TicketCity Legends Classic in November, and 2011 Sweet Sixteen participant Richmond comes to Lewisburg on Dec. 17. A total of 324,694 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 eight-year-old Langone Athletics & Recreation Center complex, the spacious Berger Family Weight Room includes varsity-only space for the Bison teams to train under the tutelage of full-time strength & conditioning coach Jerry Shreck and his staff. Also under the Langone Athletics & Recreation Center roof is a state-of-the art Sports Medicine Center that features numerous treatment modalities, including electric stimulation, ultrasound, hydrotherapy and cryotherapy. The hallmark of the complex is its two hydrotherapy tubs (one hot and one cold). Each can hold between 6-10 athletes.

Bucknell Bison Athletics
A National Model in Promoting the Scholar-Athlete Ideal Bucknell Athletics is first and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national leader when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their first priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place. FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative (FAR) is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Bucknell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Mitch Chernin, Professor of Biology. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which affords them opportunities to enjoy the full range of collegiate experiences available to students generally. SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff, including practice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is introduced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena. ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfitted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer, VCR and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice. LAPTOP PROGRAM: 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. BUCKNELL BISON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY: In 2011-12, the Department of Athletics launched the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. As part of a Patriot League-wide leadership initiative, this “Leadership Summit” is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. The Leadership Academy 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.

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

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

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

The 2011-12 Bison
2011-12 Season Outlook
challenges abound as bison look to repeat as patriot league champions Returning four starters from a team that finished 25-9 overall and won 16 of 17 games against Patriot League foes en route to a championship season, it might seem as if Bucknell is the overwhelming favorite to repeat as conference champion again in 2011-12. Indeed, the league’s coaches and sports information directors unanimously picked the Bison No. 1 in the preseason poll. Even with those lofty expectations, head coach Dave Paulsen still has some concerns heading into a year when his team will surely have a large bulls-eye on its collective back. Complacency clearly has not been an issue, as Paulsen noted that all of his players worked hard this offseason on both their skills and their conditioning, and that the culture of the team in terms of focus and commitment has never been better. What Paulsen is anxious about, however, is how his veterans will cope with the mental side of defending a championship. Bucknell compiled an impressive list of accomplishments a year ago. The 25 wins were second-most in program history. The Bison went 14-1 at home and 23-3 after December 1. They beat eventual Sweet Sixteen team Richmond on the road, and nearly knocked off Boston College and Marquette. Statistically, they were one of the best in the nation in 3-point shooting, free-throw shooting and fewest turnovers. Bucknell boasted the Patriot League Player of the Year in center Mike Muscala, two All-Patriot League guards in Bryson Johnson and the now-graduated Darryl Shazier, a repeat PL Defensive Player of the Year in Bryan
Cohen, and an All-Rookie Team honoree in Cameron Ayers. Despite all of that success, the Bison exited the 2010-11 campaign with a bitter taste in their mouths after a lopsided loss to Connecticut in the NCAA Tournament. There was no shame in that defeat — the Huskies were the hottest team in the country, as they were coming off a Big East Tournament title and would eventually win the national championship in impressive fashion — yet Bucknell expected a better showing. Paulsen’s challenge is reminding his players that they can’t win the Patriot League title or a game in the NCAA Tournament on the first day of preseason practice. “When things weren’t going so well a few years ago, we kept hammering into the guys to ‘embrace the process,’ to literally focus on one possession at a time,” said Paulsen, the reigning Patriot League Coach of the Year. “Well the exact same thing holds true when you have high expectations like this team does. We still have to embrace the process every day, and not worry about the things that are outside our control. The degree to which we can manage our own expectations will determine how good we can be. We are certainly excited about the opportunity to defend a championship. That’s why these guys came to Bucknell. They want to be in a position where people expect them to compete for a title.” On the floor, Paulsen is concerned about having the same quality depth the team enjoyed last season, along with the ability to take
Ryan Hill
Bryson Johnson care of the basketball and get stops defensively. While the team does return four starters, the one loss is huge. While Muscala deservedly earned league MVP honors, Shazier was clearly the engine of the team. In fact, Shazier and Muscala were named co-MVPs at the team’s end-of-season awards banquet. Shazier compiled 185 assists and only 50 turnovers last season, the second-best ratio in the country, and the Bison ranked 26th out of 336 Division I teams in fewest turnovers with 11.2 per game. “Darryl played the point guard position about as well as you can play it last year,” said Paulsen. “We are going to have to replace him collectively. Who ends up starting at point guard is less important than having superior attention to detail, and not turning the ball over, at all five positions on the floor. The other thing we are going to miss with Darryl, and this went somewhat unnoticed, is that he was a very good on-ball defender. We were the best defensive team in the league last year, so we don’t want to take a step back defensively at point guard.” The top candidates to assume Shazier’s minutes at point guard are Ayers, who played mostly off the ball during a very productive rookie season, along with sophomore Ryan Hill and freshman Steven Kaspar. If Ayers moves into the starting lineup, that, along with the graduation of super sub G.W. Boon, makes depth a concern for Paulsen. Even as a reserve, Boon was Bucknell’s thirdleading scorer last year, and Paulsen said he was as valuable a bench player as anyone in the country, even though he sometimes got lost in the mix among all the record-setters last year. Both Boon and Ayers averaged better than 7.5 points and 20.5 minutes per game. Paulsen felt like in essence he had seven starting players — eight if you want to count now-graduated Stephen Tyree, who was limited by injury last season — and a big part of preseason practice will be spent figuring out who can step into those key bench roles. Ayers averaged 7.5 points during his rookie year and was named to the Patriot League All-Tournament Team after three sparkling per-

2011-12 Season Outlook formances during Bucknell’s run to the title. Hill also spent time backing up Shazier at the point, and he got to play in 32 games off the bench. While his scoring production wasn’t quite there yet, Hill handled the ball and defended well. Most importantly, he received the benefit of going head-to-head with the savvy veteran Shazier every day in practice, and Hill has come back this preseason looking more confident in all phases. Kaspar comes to Bucknell from the Memphis area, and he has been impressive since day one of preseason workouts with his quickness and creativity. Two other key components in the backcourt are Cohen and Johnson. Cohen has carved out a reputation as a defensive stopper, as he is routinely assigned to mark the opposition’s No. 1 scorer. Cohen has frustrated many a scoring whiz through the years, and he earned Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year honors in both 2010 and 2011. “[Bryan] has accepted and relished the challenge of stopping the opposition’s best player,” said Paulsen. “But he has also led our team in making ‘winning plays’ late in games. Whether it is diving on the floor for a loose ball, taking a charge, tipping out an offensive rebound or hitting a big shot, he always seems to be there for us. He has embraced the fact that he has become more of a secondary scorer as his role has evolved, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been unbelievably valuable to our team.” Johnson emerged last season as one of Division I basketball’s most lethal long-range threats. After shooting 32.8 percent from 3-point distance as a freshman, last year he set out to reach the 40-percent mark. He did even better, canning 45.6 percent (99-217) from the arc, the seventh-best figure in the country. Led by Johnson, Bucknell shot 40.0 percent as a team from 3-point range, one of only seven teams in the nation to do so. Johnson’s 99 treys shattered the Bucknell record by 20, and he ranked second on the team in scoring at 11.7 points per game. “Bryson obviously had a terrific season shooting the basketball last year,” said Paulsen. “First and foremost, we want him to continue to be one of the best shooters in the country. He has had a productive offseason and has improved considerably in terms of what he can do off the dribble. He has gotten stronger, which has helped him defensively. All of that is great, but without question Bryson’s No. 1 priority is to keep striving to be the best shooter in the country.” Two other young players — sophomore Ben Brackney and freshman Joshea Singleton — are also looking to make an impact in the backcourt. Brackney played in 18 games last season, and he started to see some key minutes as the year went on. Brackney is a versatile player who can play a number of positions, and when he is on can be a deadly 3-point shooter. Singleton is a gifted athlete from Kinston, N.C., and he brings the ability to drive the ball to the basket. Juniors Muscala and Joe Willman have developed into the Patriot League’s premier frontcourt combo. Muscala had a monster sophomore year, earning Patriot League Player of the Year, Tournament MVP and Honorable Mention All-America honors after averaging 14.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game. Muscala has always had a keen outside
Joe Willman touch for a 6’11” center, and last year he improved in the paint, both as a rebounder and with his low-post game. “Mike obviously had a terrific sophomore season, and he was very deserving of his Patriot League Player of the Year Award,” complimented Paulsen. “The thing I was most excited about was that he made such big strides in his rebounding, getting to the free-throw line and becoming more of a presence around the basket to complement his shooting skill. Mike has worked just as hard this offseason. His biggest challenge now, like with the rest of the team, is managing his own expectations. He can’t think he has to make every shot. If he comes up empty on one possession, he just has to move on to the next one. He’s such a competitor, that can be difficult for him.” While Muscala has garnered many of the headlines, Willman has become one of the league’s more underrated players. As the starting power forward last year, he averaged 7.6 points and 4.6 rebounds while shooting 46.6 percent from the field. Like Muscala, Willman has a very good mid-range jumper, and he is a strong defender and rebounder. “Joe had an outstanding sophomore year, especially in the early part of Patriot League play, where he really carried us in certain stretches,” said Paulsen. “Joe does so many things that do show up in a boxscore, like scoring and rebounding, but he also does tons of things that don’t show up. He is a very good defender around the basket, and he can guard bigger guys as well as the more mobile 4 men. He has been very impressive in the preseason workouts, and it looks like he has made significant strides since last season.” Bucknell has plenty of candidates to back up Willman and Muscala, and Paulsen is counting on most, if not all, of them to be consistent contributors this season. Senior Enoch Andoh can play both the 4 and 5 spots, and he turned in some big minutes when called upon late last season. Junior Colin Klebon played in 29 games
off the bench a year ago, and he is healthy this year after experiencing some injury problems late last year. Klebon is a tough inside player who also features a nice lefty shooting stroke from the outside. Junior Brian Fitzpatrick is eager to make an impact after sitting out all of last year after transferring in from Penn. Fitzpatrick has excellent size and strength at 6’8”, 238 pounds, and Paulsen hopes he can assert himself as another physical presence inside. Senior Probese Leo is looking to move up the depth chart after seeing limited action so far in his career. And freshman Cory Starkey is fitting in well so far after a standout prep career in northern Michigan. Cohen, Johnson and Muscala have been elected co-captains for the 2011-12 season. Although all three have been vocal on and off the floor throughout their careers, each is now in a formal leadership position for the first time. “This is a new role for all three of those guys in terms of leadership,” said Paulsen. “Darryl and G.W. and Stephen handled most of that over the past couple of years, and even though these three have been less visible, they have been every bit as important in the locker room.” Heading into a treacherous non-league schedule that includes seven 2011 NCAA Tournament teams, Paulsen likes the makeup of his team. He feels that if the Bison can clear some of those mental hurdles, account for a loss of depth, take care of the ball and be solid on defense, they can be a championship squad again. “We are going to have five experienced starters who are all poised and unselfish players,” said Paulsen. “They know what it takes to manage your way through a season, and they have been in big games on big stages. Overall we have a high basketball IQ, which makes them a pleasure to coach every day. I think ultimately we will have some versatility, especially in the backcourt, and I am really pleased with the way we attacked the offseason and preseason workouts. The commitment level is definitely there.”

Bison Basketball Notebook bison News & Notes PRESEASON PICKS: Prior to the start of preseason, the Patriot League’s head coaches and sports information directors predicted the league standings and all-conference team. Bucknell received the maximum points in the poll, as voters are not permitted to consider their own teams or players. Patriot League Preseason Poll 1. Bucknell 98 (14 first-place votes) 2.

McCollum, Lehigh, Jr., G Mike Muscala, Bucknell, Jr., C Jordan Sugars, Navy, Sr., G TOUGH SLATE: The Bison have an extremely difficult non-conference schedule in 2011-12. They will face seven teams that played in the 2011 NCAA Tournament, each of which won at least 20 games a year ago. And that does not include opening-night foe Minnesota from the Big Ten. All told, Bucknell’s 16 non-conference foes compiled a 273-239 record last season.

There will be three straight days of doubleheader action for a total of six games in all, and three of the four teams competing are coming off NCAA Tournament seasons. Reigning Ivy League champion Princeton will be Bucknell’s first opponent on Friday, Nov. 25. A day later the Bison will take on West Alabama, and then the event wraps up on Nov. 27 with an afternoon contest against Morehead State, which made headlines after knocking off Louisville in last year’s NCAA Tournament. BISON RETURN TO CARRIER DOME: On Tuesday, Dec. 20, Bucknell returns to the Carrier Dome to take on Syracuse in a game that will be televised on ESPNU. The last time the Bison played in the Dome, they knocked off the 17th-ranked Orange 74-69 early in the 2005-06 season.
Mike Muscala FITZPATRICK READY: In addition to freshmen Steven Kaspar, Joshea Singleton and Cory Starkey, Bucknell will have another newcomer in uniform this season as 6’8” junior forward Brian Fitzpatrick becomes eligible. Fitzpatrick sat out last season after transferring to Bucknell from Penn. THREE AT A TIME: Bryson Johnson has only completed half his career at Bucknell, but he already ranks sixth on Bucknell's career 3-point field goal list. After canning a school-record 99 treys last season, Johnson has 166 in his career. The record is 294, set by Kevin Bettencourt from 2002-06. BLOCK PARTY: In 2009-10, Mike Muscala set a Bucknell freshman record with 65 blocked shots. He bettered that total last year as a sophomore with 67. Those are the third and fourth-highest totals in program history, and his 132 career rejections already rank No. 3 alltime. Muscala is Bucknell’s only Patriot League blocks champion, as he has done so in each of his first two seasons. BISON LEAD LEAGUE IN ATTENDANCE: Bucknell led the Patriot League in home attendance in 2010-11, earning its sixth straight PL attendance title. The Bison drew an average of 3,191 fans to Sojka Pavilion last season. The crowd
of 4,271 for the Patriot League championship game against Lafayette was the third-largest in arena history. HOME, SWEET HOME: Bucknell went 14-1 at Sojka Pavilion last season, including a perfect mark in Patriot League play. Since the facility opened in 2003, Bucknell is now 84-29 overall and 61-11 against league foes. RECORDS SET: Bucknell broke team records for free-throw percentage (78.8%) and 3-pointers made (234) last season. The FT% was third-best in the nation last year, while its 3-point field-goal percentage of 40.0% ranked seventh nationally. POSTSEASON HONORS: The Bison fared very well in the All-Patriot League voting last year. Mike Muscala was named Patriot League Player of the Year, First Team All-Patriot League and Academic All-Patriot League. Bryan Cohen repeated as Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year. Darryl Shazier joined Muscala on the All-Patriot League First Team. Also, Bryson Johnson earned Second Team honors, Cameron Ayers was named to the All-Rookie Team, and Dave Paulsen was picked by his peers as PL Coach of the Year.

Cameron Ayers MORE ON “MOOSE”: Mike Muscala later earned Associated Press Honorable Mention All-America honors as well as NABC All-District 13 First Team accolades. The 6’11” center recorded nine 20-point games and led the Bison in scoring at 14.9 points per game. He also topped the club in rebounding (7.3), blocks (67) and field-goal percentage (.517), and he became the 13th player in school history to record 500 points in a season (507). PATRIOT LEAGUE PROWESS: The Bison are 188-92 (.671) in Patriot League regular-season games, the best record of any league team. They have finished at least .500 in PL play in 17 of 21 seasons. The Bison won a league-record 23 straight contests against conference foes from Feb. 23, 2005 to Jan. 12, 2007. Bucknell had a streak of 35 straight wins at home against conference opponents come to an end in 2008.

game seven times, including wins in 2005, 2006 and 2011, and reached at least the semifinals in 16 of 21 years. Bucknell’s streak of eight straight first-round wins came to an end in 2009 at Holy Cross. Bison PL Tourney Log Year Seed Results 1991 4 def. Army 67-49; lost Fordham 82-76 1992 2 def.

The Bucknell basketball program has enjoyed tremendous success in the classroom in recent years. Among the highlights: The Bison men’s basketball team had combined GPAs over 3.0 in both semesters in 2010-11, the second straight year the team has accomplished that. The Bison men’s basketball program easily met the national standard in the NCAA’s Academic Performance Rate (APR) study, released last April. The men’s basketball APR is 994 (out of 1,000), which is in the top 10 percent nationally and earned the Bison program an NCAA APR Public Recognition Award. The APR awards have been given since 2007, and the Bison men’s basketball program has been honored in all five years. Bucknell has claimed 120 national Academic All-Americans since 1970, including eight from men’s basketball. The total of 120 ranks fifth among all Division I institutions, trailing only Nebraska, Notre Dame, Penn State and Stanford. In the Patriot League’s 21-year history, the league’s men’s basketball Scholar-Athlete of the Year has come from Bucknell nine times. Last season, Mike Muscala earned Capital One Academic All-District honors, and he was also named to the Patriot League’s inaugural All-Academic Team.
BINGO!: The NCAA instituted the 3-point shot in 1986-87, and since then Bucknell has played 742 games. The Bison have failed to make at least one 3-pointer in only five of those 742 games (1/30/89 at Cornell, 1/16/93 vs. Lafayette, 2/5/00 at Navy, 12/22/00 at Penn State and 2/29/04 at Colgate). Bucknell has converted a trifecta in 223 straight games.

DAVE Paulsen on Andoh: “Enoch came through in a big way with some huge performances during the latter half of last season. We are hoping for more of the same production this year. He is a legitimate low-post threat with a high basketball IQ. As has been the case throughout his career, Enoch’s conditioning and consistent work ethic will determine how big his role is this year.”

DAVE Paulsen on Ayers: “Last year Cam was as poised and savvy a freshman as I have seen in a long time. He did a great job becoming an impact player, while at the same time fitting in seamlessly within the core of the team. He has worked extremely hard in the offseason to take the next step. He has the tools to be an impact player, and his desire is tremendous. He is also extremely versatile, and we envision him playing both at the point and off the ball this season.”

DAVE Paulsen on COHEN: “B.C. has been unbelievably valuable to our team throughout his first three years. He is most well-known as a tremendous defensive player, and deservedly so. He has accepted and relished the challenge of stopping the opposition’s best player. But he has also led our team in making ‘winning plays’ late in games. Whether it is diving on the floor for a loose ball, taking a charge, tipping out an offensive rebound or hitting a big shot, he always seems to be there for us.”

DAVE Paulsen on HILL: “Ryan gave us some good minutes last year in a backup role to the best point guard in the Patriot League. He really learned a lot playing against Darryl Shazier in practice every day. Ryan showed good ability and vision for the game. He is much-improved coming back this season, and we hope he is going to be a valuable member of the rotation.”

DAVE Paulsen on JOHNSON: “Bryson obviously had a terrific season shooting the basketball last year. First and foremost, we want him to continue to be one of the best shooters in the country. He has had a productive offseason and has improved considerably in terms of what he can do off the dribble. He has gotten stronger, which has helped him defensively. All of that is great, but without question Bryson’s No. 1 priority is to keep striving to be the best shooter in the country.”

DAVE Paulsen on MUSCALA: “Mike obviously had a terrific sophomore season, and he was very deserving of his Patriot League Player of the Year Award. The thing I was most excited about was that he made such big strides in his rebounding, getting to the free-throw line and becoming more of a presence around the basket to complement his shooting skill. Mike has worked just as hard this offseason. His biggest challenge now is managing his own expectations. He can’t think he has to make every shot. If he comes up empty on one possession, he just has to move on to the next one. He’s such a competitor, that can be difficult for him.”

DAVE Paulsen on willman: “Joe had an outstanding sophomore year, especially in the early part of Patriot League play, where he really carried us in certain stretches. Joe does so many things that do show up in a boxscore, like scoring and rebounding, but he also does tons of things that don’t show up. He is a very good defender around the basket, and he can guard bigger guys as well as the more mobile 4 men. He has been very impressive in the preseason workouts, and it looks like he has made significant strides since last season.”

Head Coach Dave Paulsen
Bucknell has improved dramatically in each of Dave Paulsen’s first three seasons with the Bison, culminating in a 25-win season, a Patriot League championship and an NCAA Tournament berth in 2010-11. Paulsen was named the 2011 Patriot League Coach of the Year after leading the Bison to a 13-1 league record and three more wins in the postseason tournament. Paulsen, a two-time National Coach of the Year who led Williams College to the 2003 Division III national championship, was named the head men’s basketball coach at Bucknell on May 20, 2008, and he enters his fourth season on the Bison bench in 2011-12. In addition to his Patriot League Coach of the Year honor, Paulsen last year was one of 16 finalists for the Hugh Durham Award, presented to the national Mid-Major Coach of the Year. Paulsen reached the 300-win mark for his career in his 17th season as a head coach. Paulsen’s initial Bucknell recruiting class resulted in a record three Patriot League AllRookie honorees in Bryson Johnson, Mike Muscala and Joe Willman. As sophomores, Muscala developed into the Patriot League Player of the Year, while Johnson was a Second Team All-Patriot League selection and Willman a regular starter and key contributor. Paulsen recruited another All-Rookie studentathlete last year in Cameron Ayers, who was also named to the PL All-Tournament Team after helping the Bison to the title. “Bison Men’s Basketball has benefitted tremendously from the leadership of Dave Paulsen over the last three years, and I am
very excited to support him as he and his staff continue to develop and lead the program into the future,” said director of athletics John Hardt upon announcing a contract extension for Paulsen last spring. “Bison fans should be proud of the energy and passion Dave has devoted since his arrival at Bucknell, and his outstanding efforts in recruiting and player development were justly rewarded with a league championship and a return to the NCAA Tournament. Just as important, he has helped produce a winning program without sacrificing the scholarathlete ideal in which Bucknell takes so much pride.” Paulsen, a 1987 Williams graduate and a Phi Beta Kappa scholar, has coached at every level of college basketball over the last two decades, has won better than 64 percent of his games as a head coach, and is considered a highly sought-after consultant on the principles of the motion offense. Last season, he eclipsed the 300-win plateau and now has a 308169 (.646) career record in 17 seasons. Paulsen, 47, 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 sec-
ond round of the NCAA Tournament, and he had the opportunity to coach six players who would later become NBA draft picks. From 1990-94, Paulsen was the senior assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Cleveland State, helping the Vikings to a 64-50 record in four seasons, including a 22-6 record (15-1 Mid-Continent Conference) in 1992-93. Paulsen graduated from Williams cum laude with departmental honors in history. He was also a member of the Ephs’ varsity basketball team. In 1987, his squad captured the ECAC New England Division III championship. Upon his return to Williams as head coach, Paulsen also served as an assistant professor of physical education, which is fitting since he is widely regarded as one of college basketball’s most accomplished teachers. Known as an offensive innovator, Paulsen has produced four acclaimed instructional videos, entitled “Ten Offensive Principles for the Adaptable Motion Offense,” “Motion Offense for Beginners,” “Developing Explosive Perimeter Players,” and “Principles of Effective Post Play.” Paulsen has been a featured clinician at more than 50 developmental camps and coaches conventions throughout the nation, including the prestigious Nike Championship Basketball Clinics. He was even asked to participate in a pair of clinics in Portugal. Paulsen has been chosen to serve on the NCAA Division I Regional Advisory Committee, where he will provide input on the selection of the NCAA Tournament field. He is a member of the NABC Congress, and starting in 2011-12 he is 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 (16), Sara (12) and Molly (9).

dane fischer associate head Coach fourth season
Dane Fischer, a 2002 Ithaca College graduate and a two-year captain on the Bombers’ basketball team, is entering his fourth season at Bucknell and his first 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 departments — including the recruitment of PL Player of the Year Mike Muscala — helped lead to a championship season in year No. 3 in 2010-11. 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 school-record 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 an all-conference and an all-rookie performer to the Lawrenceville, N.J., campus, and he helped land a top-200-rated recruit — the highest-rated in program history — during the November early signing period. At Rider, Fischer coached NBA lottery pick Jason Thompson, who was the top senior taken in the 2008 Draft. Thompson was picked 12th overall by the Sacramento Kings. At Rider, he was named the Haggerty Award winner as the 2008 Metropolitan Basketball Writers Player of the Year, Associated Press Honorable Mention All-America, the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Player of the Year, the District II Player of the Year by the U.S. Basketball Writers and to the First Team All-District 3 team by the National Basketball Coaches. He was also an All-America selec-
Back for his fourth year on the Bison staff is Michael Cotton, a former Division I basketball standout at Oklahoma and Boston College. Cotton came to Bucknell from Durham, N.C., where he was head basketball coach at Kestrel Heights School and owner of Complete Player Development, LLC, a basketball instructional training program for players from elementary school through college. In 2007-08, Cotton led his Kestrel Heights team to the Central Carolina Athletic League regular-season title and a runner-up finish in the conference tournament, while also teaching algebra and science. From 2005-07, Cotton was the head varsity basketball coach at Western Vance High School in Henderson, N.C. In addition to teaching algebra, he coached his team to a league title and an undefeated conference

The Coaching Staff record. Cotton also coached at the prep level at Bonner Academy in Raleigh, N.C., in 200304. A year later he served as coordinator of Communities in Schools of Wake County, a program that served middle and high school students in the Raleigh area who were serving long-term suspensions from school. Since graduating from Boston College with a degree in biopsychology in 2000, Cotton also spent time working in the business and technical fields, and he was quite active in AAU basketball in North Carolina. From 2001-03 he was head coach of the Garner Road YMCA AAU team; he was associate head coach of the Carolina Cougars from 2003-05; and he was head coach of the United Celtics in 2006-07, helping the 14-and-under team qualify for the Division I AAU National Championships. The son of a U.S. Air Force serviceman, Cotton was born in Detroit, spent parts of his childhood in Texas, the Philippines, New Mexico and Alaska, and attended high school in Arkansas. His collegiate basketball career began at Oklahoma, and he transferred to Boston College following his sophomore year. As a 6’4” guard, Cotton was a starter for the Eagles during both his junior and senior seasons. He averaged 10.0 points and 4.6 rebounds per game as a junior and had a career-high 24-point game against Pittsburgh. He averaged 6.4 points and 4.3 rebounds in his senior year. At Oklahoma, Cotton was named Big 12 Student of the Week and a Sooner Scholar, and he was a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee. Michael and his wife, Kendra, have a daughter, Jarah (9), and two sons, Kael (6) and Rhys (3).

Bucknell Sports Medicine mark keppler assOCIATE director of athletics, head athletic trainer Associate Athletic Director Mark Keppler, now in his 26th 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. 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 West Fields. 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 Dr. Donald Stechschulte, the director of the University’s student health service. 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. In each of his first four seasons at Bucknell, Paulsen and his team conducted a free instructional clinic and autograph session that was very well attended by local youths. In addition, team members have visited local elementary schools to participate in the Dream to Read program, where players read books with youngsters in their classrooms. The team visits a local soup kitchen to serve meals to needy families and also makes regular appearances at the Lewisburg Food Bank. In recent years the team has made it a tradition to pay a Halloween visit to the Janet Weis Children’s Hospital at the Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Pa., each fall. The coaching staff and a host of Bison players make the trip to the hospital to lift the spirits of the children they spend time with. For the student-athletes, the experience is both eye-opening and gratifying. On Dec. 17, 2011, the Bison will host the Eighth 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 annual Alumni Game will be held on Feb. 4, 2012.

The Patriot League, which was founded on the principles of admitting athletes who are academically representative of their class, is in its third decade of academic and athletic achievement. Participation in athletics at Patriot League institutions is viewed as an important component of a well-rounded education. The Patriot League began as a successful Division I-AA (now called Football Championship Subdivision) football conference in 1986. Full League members include American, Army, Bucknell, Colgate, Holy Cross, Lafayette, Lehigh and Navy. Associate members include Fordham and Georgetown in football and Massachusetts Institute of Technology in women’s rowing. In the classroom, the Patriot League’s full-member institutions, individually and collectively, consistently rank among the top Division I programs in the NCAA Graduation Rates Report. Since 1998, the Patriot League has ranked first among all Division I conferences in student-athlete graduation rates according to the NCAA Graduation Rates report. The League finished at the top spot with 96 percent of its teams reporting a graduation rate of 85 percent or higher in the most recent data. In addition, 90 Patriot League teams earned NCAA Academic Performance Program Public Recognition Awards after posting academic progress rate scores in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. League members have also distinguished themselves on the field of play. The Patriot League sponsors championship competition in 23 sports (11 for men; 12 for women). Championship teams from 14 sports are guaranteed advancement into NCAA postseason competition: baseball, men and women’s basketball, field hockey, football, men’s golf, men and women’s lacrosse, 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 23 sports sponsored by the Patriot League, and Bucknell has won the Cup 17 times in its 21-year existence, including 13 of the last 14 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 23 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.

#6 villanova 68, bucknell 52 The pavilion philadelphia, pa. • nov. 12, 2010
Bucknell walked off the floor from its season opener at No. 6 Villanova feeling better after a strong second half, but former Bison Jay Wright’s Wildcats had too much Corey Fisher, who scored 17 of his game-high 24 points after the break to lead the hosts to a 68-52 victory before a sellout crowd at The Pavilion. Darryl Shazier scored 12 points, Mike Muscala had 10 points and eight rebounds and Cameron Ayers added 10 points in his collegiate debut for the Bison, who cut a 17-point deficit down to seven with 10 minutes to play before Stokes and backcourt-mate Maalik Wayns (15 points) took over for Villanova. After going just 6-for-25 from the floor with nine turnovers in a tentative first half, Bucknell shot 13-for-31 (and 6-for-11 from the arc) and committed only three turnovers in the second stanza. The Bison shot 33.9 percent on the night.

bucknell 66, binghamton 38 sojka pavilion lewisburg, pa. • nov. 17, 2010
Mike Muscala scored 16 points to lead Bucknell to its most one-sided victory in five seasons, 66-38 over Binghamton in the home opener at Sojka Pavilion. The Bison overcame a sluggish start with a 23-0 run, holding the Bearcats scoreless for 13 minutes, en route to their first victory of the season. Bryson Johnson added 10 points as part of a balanced Bucknell scoring attack, but defense was the key to victory for the Bison. They held Binghamton to 20.0 percent shooting (6-30) in the first half and 24.6 percent for the game. It was Bucknell’s best defensive effort since a 50-36 win over Colgate on Jan. 20, 2007, and it was the team’s biggest margin of victory since a 34-point win (81-47) over Navy on Jan. 28, 2006.

Playing on the road in the Big East for the second time in less than 48 hours, Bucknell had Marquette on the ropes for more than 30 minutes, but the Golden Eagles stunned the Bison with a late 24-0 run and prevailed 72-61 in an O’Reilly Auto Parts CBE Classic game played before 13,783 at the Bradley Center. Bryson Johnson scored 18 points and Joe Willman had 11 points, nine rebounds and four assists for the Bison. G.W. Boon also scored 11 points for Bucknell, which led by 13 early in the second half and still by 12 with 10:13 to play. But the Golden Eagles scored 24 points in a row and finished with the game on a 27-4 run. Dwight Buycks led a 47-point performance by the Marquette bench with a team-high 17. Davante Gardner added 11 points, including eight big ones down the stretch.

Will Felder scored 21 points and Saint Francis (Pa.) made a last-second defensive stand to hold off Bucknell 68-67 at DeGol Arena. G.W. Boon tied his career-high with 24 points and Mike Muscala had 22 points, seven rebounds and five blocked shots for the Bison, who overcame a 13-point deficit in the second half but could not finish the comeback. Bucknell trailed 49-36 with 15:47 to play, but rallied to take a 61-60 lead on a Muscala layup with 3:38 to play. Saint Francis went right back ahead with six points in a row, however, and the Red Flash led the rest of the way even though the Bison had a final possession down one with the shot clock off. They never got a shot off, though, as Saint Francis denied the hot-shooting Boon on the perimeter and Muscala inside.

Darryl Shazier scored 16 points and Bucknell dominated in all phases of the game en route to a 71-47 victory over Presbyterian in the first of three games in three days at the O’Reilly Auto Parts CBE Classic. The Bison raced to a 20-point halftime lead behind terrific defense and 3-point shooting, and after the starters earned a much-deserved early rest, the bench sealed the win with strong play down the stretch. The Bison received contributions from all over the floor in the opening half, but it was Shazier who set the tone with two early moves in the lane and a nice drive and dish to G.W. Boon. Shazier finished with a season-high 16 points and also chipped in five assists and five rebounds with only one turnover in 21 minutes.

Douglas Davis and Dan Mavraides scored 16 points apiece to lead Princeton to a 66-55 victory over Bucknell at the CBE Classic. G.W. Boon scored 17 points to lead the Bison, who could not sustain a strong start. Bucknell’s frontcourt accounted for 41 of its 55 points, but after lighting it up from outside in the blowout of Presbyterian a day earlier, the starting backcourt went just 3-for-20 from the field. The team finished 2-for-14 from 3-point range against a Princeton squad that led the nation in scoring defense a year earlier. Princeton prevailed thanks to big runs at the end of both halves. After falling behind by 11 points in the first half, the Tigers closed with a 17-2 run to take a four-point halftime lead. In the second half it was Bucknell’s turn to rally, trimming a 13-point deficit down to two inside five minutes remaining, but Princeton outscored the Bison 14-5 in the final 4:17.

Darryl Shazier tallied 15 points and five assists, freshman Cameron Ayers scored a career-high 14 points and Joe Willman logged 13 points and seven rebounds in his return to the starting lineup, leading Bucknell to a 73-68 win over Columbia at Sojka Pavilion. On a night when it shot only 24.2 percent in the second half and 35.5 percent overall, Bucknell led for the final 37:32 thanks to improved defense and an efficient second-half performance in which it did not commit a single turnover, shot very well from the freethrow line and parlayed 10 offensive rebounds into 14 second-chance points. Bucknell also held strong down the stretch even though leading scorer and rebounder Mike Muscala did not play in the final 12:26 after picking up his fourth foul.

Mike Muscala scored 21 points and three other Bison reached double figures, but it wasn’t enough as a big and talented James Madison team pulled away late for an 85-75 win in the final game of the O’Reilly Auto Parts CBE Classic. Bryson Johnson hit four 3-pointers and scored 18 points, and Cameron Ayers added 11 and G.W. Boon 10 for Bucknell, which fell to 2-5 a treacherous early-season schedule. The Bison were playing for the fourth time in a five-day span for the first time since 1936-37. Rayshawn Goins, part of James Madison’s massive front line, led the Dukes with 21 points. Andrey Semenov tallied 20, canning 5 of 6 treys off the bench. Bucknell rallied from an early nine-point deficit to take a six-point lead late in the opening half, but the Dukes went back up 37-34 at the break and never relinquished the lead.

Bryan Cohen tied for team-high honors with 10 points, but his defense on the reigning America East scoring champion was one of the stories of the night as Bucknell gutted out a 52-49 win over Boston University at Sojka Pavilion. Mike Muscala contributed 10 points, nine rebounds and a huge steal in the final seconds, and G.W. Boon scored nine points, including the tie-breaking 3-pointer with 90 seconds remaining to help the Bison carry a two-game winning streak into the final exam break. Jake O’Brien led all scorers with 19 points for the Terriers, but he was shut out for the final 15 minutes of the game. John Holland, who came in averaging 18.1 points per game after leading the America East in scoring last year at better than 19 per game, started out hot but missed 11 of his last 12 shots while being harassed by Cohen. Holland, a 1,700-point scorer in his career who was coming off a 20-point performance at Kentucky, finished with 11 points on 4-for-17 shooting, and his last bucket of the night came with 19:38 to play.

Latif Rivers scored 20 points and Tyler Murray had 16 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists to lead hot-shooting Wagner past Bucknell 77-73 at Sojka Pavilion. Mike Muscala scored 22 points for the Bison, but they just could not get enough defensive stops as the Seahawks shot 55.3 percent from the field, the second-best shooting night by a Bucknell opponent in Sojka Pavilion. Bryson Johnson added 13 points, G.W. Boon had 10 points, and Darryl Shazier tied his career high with nine assists for Bucknell. The Bison shot only 28 percent from the field in the first half but stayed within 36-32 at the break thanks to 15-for-17 shooting from the free-throw line. They upped their accuracy to 57.7 percent from the field in the second half, but Wagner went 11-for-20 from the field, 4-for-5 from the 3-point arc and 15-for-16 from the foul line in the final 20 minutes.

bucknell 89, la salle 77 tom gola arena philadelphia, pa. • dec. 17, 2010
Looking well-rested after a 13-day layoff for finals, Bucknell shot 55 percent from the floor en route to a convincing 89-77 win over La Salle at Tom Gola Arena. Mike Muscala logged 21 points, six rebounds and five assists, while Philadelphia natives Bryan Cohen and Cameron Ayers added 19 and 13 points, respectively to lift the Bison to their third straight win. Bucknell’s first-ever win over La Salle in Philadelphia came against an Explorers side that already had a win over Providence in addition to close losses to Villanova, Oklahoma State, Baylor and Missouri. The Bison built an early double-digit lead, took an eight-point lead at the half, and outscored La Salle 36-28 over the last 12 minutes after withstanding the Explorers’ only major run of the night. Bucknell’s 89 points were the most in a road game since a 91-85 overtime win at Colgate on Feb. 6, 2008. It was also the team’s most points in a non-conference road game since an 89-78 victory at Cornell on Jan. 9, 1995.

Mike Muscala had 20 points and nine rebounds, Bryan Cohen finished with 17 points and eight rebounds and Joe Willman had 15 points — all in the second half — to go with nine rebounds to lift Bucknell to its fourth straight victory, 75-64 over Cornell at Newman Arena. Bucknell fought off a number of Cornell rallies in this one, but allowed only one field goal in the last four minutes to take control of a close game. The Bison led by nine points early in the game, but the lead was just one at the half. The second half featured a number of major momentum swings, with Cornell coming back to take slim leads on three occasions. Every time, though, Bucknell had an answer against a Big Red team looking to rebuild under former Bison star Bill Courtney after making a run to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen a year earlier.

Bryson Johnson scored 14 points, 12 of them coming in a game-changing three-minute span in the first half, leading Bucknell to a workmanlike 74-57 victory over Dartmouth at Sojka Pavilion. With the win, the Bison finished 6-1 in the month of December and pushed their record over .500 for the first time all season at 8-7. Darryl Shazier added 12 points and G.W.

Bucknell tied a school record with 15 3-pointers, the most Boston College has ever given up, but it wasn’t enough as the Eagles survived a gallant Bison effort in an 84-80 win at Conte Forum. Bryson Johnson hit seven treys and scored a career-high 25 points, and Darryl Shazier had a career-high 10 assists without a turnover, but Bucknell’s four-game winning streak came to an end. Mike Muscala overcame foul trouble to score 14 points and Bryan Cohen had 13 points and five rebounds for the Bison. Star guard Reggie Jackson scored 22 points and Joe Trapani and Josh Southern had 16 each for the Eagles. The contest quickly evolved into a shootout, as the teams combined for 27 3-pointers. The Bison hit 15 of those, tying the school mark set at Villanova in 2007-08. Bucknell led by as many as 16 points in the first half before the Eagles closed within three at the half. BC took its first lead early in the second half and led by as many as six, but the game was tied at 76 with 2:30 to play before Biko Paris put the Eagles ahead to stay with a go-ahead 3-pointer.

Bucknell’s power-forward combination of Joe Willman and G.W. Boon combined for 32 points to lead the Bison to their fifth win in six outings, 70-59 over Loyola (Md.) at Reitz Arena. Bucknell went 3-1 on a difficult road trip to La Salle, Cornell, Boston College and Loyola, and got back to level on the season at 7-7. With Willman in foul trouble, Boon subbed in and scored 14 of his 16 points in the first half, then Willman came back and scored all 16 of his in the second half. Bryson Johnson continued his hot 3-point shooting with a 3-for-3 first half and finished with 13 points. Leading scorer Mike Muscala was held without a field goal, but he did go 7-for-8 from the line along with 10 rebounds, three assists and two blocks.

bucknell 71, navy 64 alumni hall annapolis, md. • jan. 8, 2011
Bison sophomore center Mike Muscala was just nine months old when Christian Laettner hit his famous shot to beat Kentucky in the 1992 NCAA Tournament, but he did his best Laettner impersonation, taking a long inbounds pass from Joe Willman and hitting a turnaround jumper at the buzzer to give the Bison a thrilling 62-61 win over eventual Atlantic-10 champion Richmond. Muscala and Bryson Johnson both scored 17 points for the Bison. The Spiders were coming off a 16-point rout of Wake Forest and had also beaten No. 8 Purdue, Arizona State and Seton Hall earlier in the season. Justin Harper led Richmond with 19 points, but the Bison kept all-star guard Kevin Anderson in check, holding him to 13 points and five turnovers. Anderson kept Bucknell alive by missing two free throws with 2.3 seconds left, and then the Bison converted on their second chance at a Hail Mary play.
Darryl Shazier scored 23 of his career-high 28 points in the second half to help Bucknell get off to a positive start in Patriot League play with a 71-64 win at Navy. Mike Muscala scored 19 points and Joe Willman added 12 for the Bison. Freshman J.J. Avila scored 20 points for Navy, but the Bison spoiled the Midshipmen’s night with famous alum David Robinson in attendance as part of a 25th-anniversary celebration of their 1986 Elite Eight team. Bucknell shot 55.2 percent and outscored Navy 44-36 in the second half after trailing by one point at the half. Shazier came into the game with a reputation as a distributor. He ranked among the NCAA leaders in assists and assist-toturnover ratio, but on this night Navy concentrated on cutting off his passing lanes. The senior adjusted, taking the ball to the basket time after time, and he finished 10-for-17 from the floor and 7-for-8 from the line.

The Bison took control early, sprinting to a 24-8 lead. Muscala scored 24 points in a monster second half, one more than his previous career high, and recorded his third career double-double. Muscala finished 11-for-17 from the floor and helped put the game away with two late-shot clock 3-pointers in the closing minutes.

bucknell 75, lafayette 56 sojka pavilion lewisburg, pa. • jan. 19, 2011
Locked up in a four-point game at halftime, Bucknell burst out of the locker room on a 20-3 run and cruised past Lafayette 75-56 at Sojka Pavilion. Mike Muscala had 13 points and nine rebounds in limited minutes, and Bryson Johnson and G.W. Boon also scored 13 for the Bison, who won their seventh straight game and 11th in their last 12 outings. Bucknell used a tenacious full-court press to ratchet up the defensive pressure at the start of the second half. The adjustment worked, as the Bison held Lafayette to just one field goal and one free throw in the first 7:43 of the period.

Mike Muscala capped off a 23-point, 13-rebound afternoon by hitting the game-winning jumper from deep in the right corner with 1.4 seconds left, lifting Bucknell to a 74-72 win over Holy Cross at Sojka Pavilion. Bryson Johnson added 17 points and Joe Willman scored 13 for the Bison, who moved into sole possession of first place in the Patriot League. Devin Brown and Josh Jones scored 14 points each for the Crusaders. Muscala was coming off a monster game at American in which he had 33 points, 10 rebounds and five blocked shots, and he followed that performance with another gem in this one. He had 11 rebounds by halftime and then tallied 15 of his 23 points in the second stanza. None were bigger than his shot on Bucknell’s final possession of the day, which was set up by a beautiful drive and kickout from Darryl Shazier, who finished with nine assists and no turnovers.

bucknell 74, lafayette 69 (OT) kirby sports center Easton, pa. • feb. 16, 2011
Bryson Johnson hit a tie-breaking 3-pointer with 32 seconds left and Mike Muscala clinched it with a 3-point play with 12 seconds to go, giving Bucknell a hard-fought 60-56 win at Holy Cross. Muscala led the Bison with 15 points and seven rebounds, despite playing only 24 minutes due to foul trouble. G.W. Boon (12) and Cameron Ayers (10) also hit double figures as part of a big performance by the bench, and Johnson finished with nine points on 3-for-6 3-point shooting. Devin Brown led Holy Cross with 20 points — but had only two in the second half — and Andrew Keister added 13 points and 11 rebounds. The Crusaders finished with a 42-29 rebounding edge. On a night when points were hard to come by at both ends of the floor, the Bison found a way to win in front of a raucous crowd of 3,624, despite shooting only 43.1 percent.
On a night when Bryson Johnson scored a career-high 30 points and broke the Bucknell single-season 3-point record, it was Enoch Andoh who came off the bench to contribute two big shots and a defensive stand in overtime to lift the foul-saddled Bison to a 74-69 win at Lafayette. The Bison won their fourth in a row and 17th in their last 19. Jim Mower scored 19 points and Jared Mintz and Ryan Willen had 13 apiece for Lafayette, who scored the final 11 points of regulation to force overtime. It was a game of wild momentum swings, as the Bison fell behind by six points early, then sandwiched a big run around the halftime break to open up a 13-point lead. But the Leopards made two big second-half rallies to send Bucknell to overtime for the first time this season. Johnson finished 7-for-10 overall, 5-for-7 from the arc and 11-for-11 from the foul line en route to his first career 30-point game.

Mike Muscala logged 21 points and 10 rebounds and came up with a key blocked shot in the final minute to help first-place Bucknell to a critical 6660 victory over second-place American at Sojka Pavilion. Head coach Dave Paulsen’s 300th career victory required some guts from his team, as American rallied from a double-digit deficit to take the lead at 58-57 with 3:59 to play. Ignited by a tough 3-pointer from Bryson Johnson way out on the right wing with 3:29 left, Bucknell scored nine straight points after American had gone ahead for the first time since 2-0. G.W. Boon had a big game off the bench with 12 points, Johnson had 11 and point guard Darryl Shazier added nine points and four assists without a turnover in 37 minutes. Even though he did not score a point in the game, Bryan Cohen again had a major impact on the defensive end while assigned to high-scoring forward Vlad Moldoveanu, who made only two field goals in eight tries before finishing with nine points.

A 31-point, 26-rebound performance by the bench carried Bucknell to a come-from-behind 77-69 win at Colgate. The Bison earned their 20th win of the season and clinched the 2011 Patriot League regular-season championship, assuring them of home-court advantage throughout the league tournament. Bucknell had five players score in double figures, two grab double-digit rebounds and another with double-figure assists. Freshman Cameron Ayers led the way with 14 points, including four straight pressure free throws in the final 30 seconds after Colgate had reduced a nine-point deficit down to two. Bryson Johnson went 4-for-8 from 3-point range to pace a 50-percent deep shooting day by the team, and he finished with 12 points. G.W. Boon came off the bench to record his first career double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds. Darryl Shazier added 11 points and equaled his career high with 10 assists, and Enoch Andoh had his second straight big game off the bench with six points and 10 rebounds.

Darryl Shazier logged 15 points and a career-high five steals, and Bryan Cohen stuffed the stat sheet with 13 points, nine rebounds, six assists and two blocked shots, leading Bucknell to a 72-55 win over Lehigh at Sojka Pavilion. The Bison had already clinched the No. 1 seed for next week’s Patriot League Tournament, but the win over Lehigh assured them of the outright regular-season title. PL scoring leader C.J. McCollum finished with 17 points on 6-for-16 shooting. He had an 11-point outburst in a span of only 2:42 in the first part of the first half, but had just six the rest of the way.
Mike Muscala recorded 11 points, 10 rebounds and six blocked shots to lead a balanced stat sheet in Bucknell’s 78-64 victory over Army before a Sojka Pavilion crowd of 4,148. The afternoon started with Senior Day ceremonies honoring G.W. Boon and Darryl Shazier. But the warm feeling from the pregame show quickly gave way to ice-cold shooting from both teams. Bucknell started 1-for-9 from the field and the Black Knights began 1-for-16. Five minutes into the game the score was still 2-2, but the Bison finally reeled off 10 straight points and never trailed again.
Cameron Ayers tallied a career-high 19 points and Bryson Johnson added 17 to lead top-seeded Bucknell to a 78-51 win over No. 8 Army in a Patriot League Tournament quarterfinal game at Sojka Pavilion. The Bison won their eighth straight game and advanced to the semifinals for the 16th time in the 21-year history of the league. The Bison won this one with an impressive first-half defensive effort. The Black Knights went just 6-for-26 from the field and 0-for-8 from 3-point range, and Johnson’s 3-pointer from deep in the left corner at the buzzer gave Bucknell a commanding 34-12 lead at the break.

bucknell 72, lafayette 57 PL CHAmpionship • sojka pavilion lewisburg, pa. • march 11, 2011
Led by 18 points from tournament MVP Mike Muscala, the Bison punched their ticket to “The Big Dance” with a 72-57 victory over Lafayette in front of a raucous crowd of 4,271, the third-largest ever to see a game in Sojka Pavilion. Despite the 15-point final margin, Bucknell’s 13th straight home win was far from easy. Bryan Cohen had a 3-point play and a 3-point jumper on Bucknell’s first two possessions of the night, and the Bison never trailed, but they had a hard time shaking Lafayette until the late stages of the game. Bucknell locked up its fifth NCAA Tournament berth in program history and third as a member of the Patriot League.

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

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

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

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

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

The Plan for Bucknell Bucknell is a unique national university where liberal arts and professional programs complement each other, where 3,400 full-time students are educated for a lifetime of critical thinking and strong leadership. For more than 160 years, the University has remained true to its fundamental purpose: to educate and prepare students for lives that make a difference and have a positive impact on the world. In keeping with that purpose, the University has developed The Plan for Bucknell, which includes its collective vision — “To provide students with the premier undergraduate experience in American higher education.” Students helped shape this vision because of their confidence in the University. The Plan comprises five strategies: Strengthen the Academic Core aims to ensure that a Bucknell education is challenging and engaging, with openness to new ideas and a culture of innovation; Deepen the Residential Learning Experience will provide a residential learning and living experience that complements the academic program, integrates the athletics and recreation program and promotes personal growth and development and civic and ethical responsibility; Enhance Diversity is a commitment to diversity in all its forms within a civil and supportive environment of open exchange to prepare Bucknell graduates to live and work in a globally integrated and intercultural world; Build Bridges will bring the world to Bucknell — through visiting scholars and sports teams, international students and alumni, guest speakers, international focus semesters, and electronic communications — and bring Bucknell to the world through strategic partnerships and community engagement activities as well as opportunities for off-campus study and faculty research; Secure Our Financial Future will secure resources necessary to engage new opportunities, lessen dependence on tuition, and ensure our financial future.

kenneth g. langone athletics and recreation center
T
he Bucknell University Department of Athletics and Recreation prides itself on setting the standard of excellence when it comes to success both on the playing fields and in the classroom. With 17 Patriot League Presidents’ Cups in 21 years, national leadership in graduation rates, 120 Capital One Academic All-Americans since 1970 and 121 Patriot League Scholar-Athletes in 21 years, Bucknell is clearly at the head of the class in terms of upholding the scholar-athlete model. The 2003 addition of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center, one of the finest collegiate athletics and recreation venues of its kind, ensures the continuation of that success. The facility enhances each of Bucknell’s 27 varsity programs and greatly expands the scope of its growing intramural and recreational sports offerings. A visually appealing structure located along Moore Avenue on the “downhill” side of campus, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center was designed to reach out to all members of the campus community, including the student body, varsity student-athletes, faculty, staff and alumni. Three primary venues lie within the facility: the Arthur D. Kinney Jr. Natatorium, the 4,000-seat Gary A. Sojka Pavilion and the Krebs Family Fitness Center. Other features include a new location for the Bucknell Athletics Hall of Fame, a display of Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, a sports medicine and athletic training suite, classrooms, modern offices for coaches and staff
Fields Complex, which encompasses Depew Field (baseball), Becker Field (softball) and the adjoining Graham Field (Astroturf for field hockey and women’s lacrosse) and Emmitt Field (natural grass for soccer) venues that are complemented by the beautiful Holmes Stadium. A closer look behind the walls of the Kenneth G. Langone Athletics and Recreation Center:

Ramer Schaffner Memorial Hall greets guests as they enter the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center. The entry hall features the busts of 2nd Lt. George H. Ramer and 1st Lt. Dwite H. Schaffner, Bucknell’s Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, and provides access to Gerhard Fieldhouse and the Krebs Family Fitness Center on the ground level. Guests may proceed to the second level to enter Davis Gym, administrative offices and the Hall of Fame, which celebrates Bucknell’s Patriot League championships and other notable feats.
Krebs Fitness Center
and increased locker room space for varsity and recreational athletes. The facility is named in honor of Ken Langone, a 1957 Bucknell graduate who, along with his wife Elaine, pledged $11 million toward the center’s construction. Langone was a member of the university Board of Trustees from 1980 to 1996. One of the special qualities of the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the manner in which it supplements the pre-existing facilities. The new construction surrounds Gerhard Fieldhouse and historic Davis Gymnasium, which has been restored as a competition venue for the Bison volleyball and wrestling teams, as well as intramural, recreation and other varsity practice activities. As Bucknell continues to strive toward its mission of setting the standard of excellence in college athletics, the Langone Athletics and Recreation Center is the centerpiece in an already impressive cache of athletics facilities that includes the 13,100-seat Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium and its FieldTurf and 8-lane track surface; the scenic Bucknell Golf Club; and the spacious West
Promoting lifetime wellness, the Krebs Family Fitness Center contains state-of-the-art cardiovascular and strength conditioning equipment. The 16,000-square-foot center includes over 175 positions for equipment within three distinct areas. The first-level cardiovascular and pin-select equipment is open for student, faculty and staff use at all times. Directly above, the mezzanine also contains cardio equipment, with scenic views of the campus and natatorium. The third area, the Berger Family Weight Room, sits on the former site of Freas-Rooke Pool, and is used for instructional free-weight training and varsity workouts. The facility received all new weightlifting equipment in the summer of 2010.
swimming to occur simultaneously. Natatorium amenities include seating for 500 spectators, restrooms, separated varsity and visiting team locker rooms, a poolside classroom, sauna, steam room and concession stands. Already Kinney Natatorium has played host to several major events, most notably the 2005 NCAA Men’s Water Polo Championship. The facility has also served as host of five Patriot League Swimming and Diving Championships, the 2004 Eastern Women’s Water Polo Championship and an exhibition game against the U.S. women’s water polo national team, drawing rave reviews at each. Beginning in the spring of 2005, the Pennsylvania state swimming championships moved to Kinney Natatorium. The facility has proven to be quite a home pool advantage for Bucknell, which became the first institution in league history to capture both the men’s and women’s swimming and diving championships in the same season in 2003. A total of 20 meet records and 16 league marks fell that weekend.
Sojka Pavilion
Sojka Pavilion provides the Bison men’s and women’s basketball programs with one of the finest arenas in the East. A “first-class” venue capable of seating 4,000 spectators for sporting and other campus events, the pavilion has walk-down access to all seats and unobstructed views of the playing surface or concert stage for all spectators. The seating bowl features approximately 1,500 fixed seats and 2,500 retractable seats, enabling an “expandable” open floor area with sufficient space for three basketball courts for recreational activities and varsity practices. The spacious upperlevel concourse includes two concession areas, restrooms, handicapped seating and several suites that overlook the floor. Behind the scenes, on the floor level, Sojka Pavilion provides a green room for performance acts and other functions, a catering kitchen for special events, ticket windows, locker room space for home and visiting teams and officials, and a loading dock capable of accommodating team buses and production trucks for televised events. Dozens of nationally televised basketball games have been aired from Sojka Pavilion, including the ESPN2 broadcasts of the 2006 and 2011 Patriot League championship game and an ESPN360 airing of the Bucknell-Villanova men’s game that drew a school-record crowd of 4,433.
Kinney Natatorium
Kinney Natatorium features a 50-meter by 25-yard Olympic class pool, which accommodates four varsity programs — men’s and women’s swimming and diving and men’s and women’s water polo — while enhancing the recreational aquatics opportunities for the Bucknell community. The pool itself features two moveable bulkheads, allowing for multiple team practices and recreational

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 this year on the BGC property is a new indoor/outdoor Instructional Golf Facility, which provides a year-round training center for the Bison golf teams. The Bison rowing team has its own Boathouse located about 10 miles south of campus, along the scenic Susquehanna River. That is the only athletics facility that is not located within a short walk from the center of campus, but the rowing team now has its own brand new erg room in 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 John C. Bravman began his official duties as Bucknell University’s 17th president on July 1, 2010. He came to Bucknell from Stanford University, where he oversaw the undergraduate program as the Freeman-Thornton Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education and served as dean of the Freshman-Sophomore Residential College, which he founded in 1999. As vice provost for undergraduate education, Bravman helped lead a curricular transformation that introduced new pedagogies, invigorated Stanford’s system of residential education, and created the Stanford Summer Engineering Academy for entering Stanford undergraduates from under-resourced school districts. As one of Stanford’s pre-eminent leaders, Dr. Bravman was a strong and visible presence on behalf of the university around the nation and the globe. A renowned scholar in the field of thin-film materials, he was the Bing Centennial Professor of Materials Science and Engineering and a professor of electrical engineering by courtesy of that department in recognition of his related achievements. He won almost every Stanford teaching and advising award, including the Walter J. Gores Award, Stanford’s highest teaching honor, and the Kenneth M. Cuthbertson Award for Exceptional Contributions to Stanford. He is only the second person in Stanford’s history to receive both honors. Stanford also established the John C. Bravman Family Scholarship Fund, securing more than $3 million for scholarships in a few short weeks before Bravman completed his tenure there. Bravman’s dedication to excellence in undergraduate education has already shaped his presidency at Bucknell. He strongly supports the five strategic goals of The Plan for Bucknell: strengthening the academic core, deepening the residential learning experience, enhancing diversity, building bridges to the world and securing the University’s financial future. With support from the Board of Trustees, he is re-energizing the planning process as well as review and discussion of Plan goals during the 2011-12 academic year. He began work immediately to advance Bucknell’s campus master plan, which aims to provide the academic and residential facilities necessary for the premier student experience for current and future
generations. During Bravman’s first year as president, the University broke ground on infrastructure for Academic West, the first academic building constructed at Bucknell since 2004, which will add 70,000 square feet of classrooms, research spaces and faculty offices. Bravman also continues to strengthen the relationship between the University and downtown Lewisburg. Bucknell in fall 2010 purchased the U.S. Post Office Building, which is being renovated for University staff offices; and is updating several nearby properties, including the Campus Theatre and space for a smallbusiness incubator. During the earliest months of his presidency, Bravman initiated an in-depth examination of the quality of student life by establishing the Campus Climate Task Force. This group of faculty, staff and students is charged with assessment of student views and actions related to personal responsibility and, as appropriate, recommending ways to encourage the most positive University experience for students. Exploration of and campus dialogue about student responsibility and expectations will continue throughout the 2011-12 academic year. Bravman’s first year in office included numerous meetings with alumni, parents and friends of the University, as well as many speaking engagements with Bucknell groups around the United States. In building support for the private phase of Bucknell’s $400 million comprehensive campaign, he continues to emphasize the importance of access to higher education and Bucknell’s top fundraising priority, scholarships for highly qualified students. Bravman received his bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees in materials science and engineering from Stanford. He is married to Wendelin Wright, who served as the Clare Boothe Luce Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Santa Clara University before joining the Bucknell faculty in 2010-11. Their first child, a boy, Cole Keating Bravman, was born in 2010. Bravman, who also has two grown sons, enjoys cooking, reading, photography, travel, golf and bicycling.

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 12th year at Bucknell and his 26th year in athletics administration. Hardt administers a broad-based sports program with a proud and successful history. Since his arrival, Hardt has orchestrated one of the nation’s most assertive facilities overhauls, built and maintained relationships with major donors, restructured the athletics administration in order to help Bucknell stay ahead of the curve in the fast-paced world of Division I athletics and built upon Bucknell’s long-standing tradition of scholar-athlete excellence. Hardt is privileged to oversee a varsity athletics program that has long been at the head of the class in the Patriot League, both on the playing fields and in the classroom. From Presidents’ Cups to Academic All-Americans to the nation’s best graduation rate, Bison Athletics carries a proud heritage. While building on Bucknell’s athletic and academic excellence is paramount, Hardt has also incorporated progressive ideas in the area of external relations. Initiatives such as the Bison Magazine online video series, a new graphics identity package, an informative and visually appealing athletics website and a revamped Bison Club all serve to bring Bison Athletics into the homes of its supporters. Upon his arrival, Hardt reorganized the management structure of the department and implemented a sport management group, dividing the direct oversight of 27 men’s and women’s varsity programs among himself and two associate directors of athletics. During his productive tenure at Bucknell, Hardt has overseen 10 consecutive years of growth in Bison Club donations, 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 new 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. While much has been achieved in the last 11 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. 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, and he recently joined the Division I Baseball 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. The Bison Club also sponsors the annual Senior Athletic Awards Banquet, one of the highlights of the athletic year at Bucknell. At the banquet, each qualified senior studentathlete is presented with a Bucknell ring or watch in recognition of his or her achievements. Special awards honor the most outstanding student-athletes in the senior class. In addition, the Bison Club sponsors the Bucknell Athletic Hall of Fame, which
now includes 217 members and is located on the second floor of Bucknell’s Gerhard Fieldhouse. Todd Newcomb, Bucknell Class of 1988, is in his 11th year as the director of the Bison Club. He is the second full-time director of the organization since it was founded nearly 50 years ago, following Jim Campbell, who served in that capacity for 11 years before retiring in the summer of 2000. In addition to his duties as senior associate director of athletics for external affairs, Newcomb coordinates fundraising efforts for all 27 men’s and women’s varsity sports, alumni functions and special events. Working closely with Newcomb and the director of annual giving to identify and solicit new annual donors to the Bison Club are managers of athletics fundraising Tom Harvey and Terry Conrad. In addition, former Bucknell Hall of Fame lacrosse coach Sid Jamieson has served as a fundraising assistant for the past six years. For more information on supporting the Bison Club, please call Todd Newcomb at 570-577-1771.

the voice of the bison: doug birdsong Doug Birdsong is in his 11th 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.
Mike Muscala was named to the Patriot League All-Academic Team and the Capital One Academic All-District Team in 2010-11.
