Jinwoo Kim shot 4 of 5 from the field, including 2 for 3 from 3-point range, and went 3 for 4 from the line to finish with 13 points.
Noah Williamson led the way for the Bison (18-15) with 22 points, seven rebounds and four blocks. Achile Spadone added 21 points and three steals for Bucknell. Josh Bascoe also had 16 points and three steals. The Bison broke a five-game winning streak with the loss.
