What to Know

The Bucknell Bison will be returning home after a two-game road trip. The Bison and the Holy Cross Crusaders will face off in a Patriot battle at 2 p.m. ET Saturday at Sojka Pavilion. Bucknell will be strutting in after a win while Holy Cross will be stumbling in from a loss.

Bucknell came out on top in a nail-biter against the Army West Point Black Knights on Wednesday, sneaking past 68-66.

Meanwhile, Holy Cross was within striking distance but couldn't close the gap on Wednesday as they fell 77-71 to the Colgate Raiders.

Bucknell is the favorite in this one, with an expected 7.5-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 3-7 against the spread when favored.

The Bison were close but no cigar in the teams' previous meeting last month as they fell 60-58 to the Crusaders. Maybe Bucknell will have more luck at home instead of on the road? Watch the contest and check back on CBS Sports for all the details.
