Aidan Kehoe shot 8 of 9 from the field and 4 of 4 from the free-throw line to finish with 20 points, while adding 12 rebounds. The Midshipmen picked up their seventh straight victory.
The Bison (4-12, 1-2) were led by Ruot Bijiek, who posted 16 points, six rebounds and two blocks. Amon Dorries added 15 points and three blocks for Bucknell. Pat Curtin also recorded 11 points and two steals.
