Bucknell’s 2026-27 men’s basketball season kicks off with fire — facing six NCAA Tournament teams and another NIT squad in a brutal non-conference slate, including nine opponents with winning records. The Bison hit the road early against Maryland and Virginia, then host Old Dominion in their official opener on Nov. 7. Fans get an early glimpse at the team in an Oct. 24 exhibition vs. Endicott, plus mid-November home clashes with Columbia, Akron, and Siena — all strong programs with NCAA pedigree. The action heats up in Philly for the Cathedral Classic, celebrating The Palestra’s 100th anniversary, featuring La Salle, Penn, Delaware, and St. Thomas (a rising D-I force). December wraps things up with UMBC and Hofstra before Patriot League play begins Dec. 30 against Colgate, followed by tough matchups with Navy, BU, and Lehigh — all top-tier squads from last year. Tickets coming soon.

Bucknell’s basketball team capped off a thrilling exhibition trip with a gritty 78-74 win over Queen’s University, showcasing resilience and team chemistry in a hard-fought battle against a strong Canadian squad. Aleksander Pachucki led the charge with 18 points, while Rocco Lamuno stole the show defensively with eight steals — nearly tying a school record. Despite committing 19 turnovers, Bucknell forced 26 from Queen’s and held them to just 40.3% shooting. The Bison’s late-game defense, including a crucial turnover in the final seconds, sealed the victory. Coach John Griffin praised the team’s growth through adversity and emphasized the importance of these games as preparation for the 2026-27 season. With nine players scoring and 35 points coming off turnovers, it was a total team effort that proved they’re ready to compete at the highest level.
