Bucknell vs Army Prediction 

Both of these teams come into this matchup with a 5-11 record in conference play and neither has had much recent success, so one side will get a much needed win here. Army is shooting 41% from the field and they have allowed 75+ points in four straight games. Bucknell is also shooting 41% from the field and they have allowed 75 points or more four of their last five. I don’t like either team in this matchup, but I will side with Army, as they have been the slightly better offensive team in recent games.
